Yeah, the inventor is Dean Kamen. Some of his earlier inventions were pretty great including the wheelchair from which the Segway got most of its technology. I think somewhere in the publicity runup for the Segway, when a lot of the most respected entrepreneurs were unabashedly sucking Kamen's dick with hyperbole to the effect that the Segway was the most important invention ever, would change the future of the world, and would be the fastest company in history to reach $1 billion in sales Kamen went over to the doucheside.
