Inventors from Northern Ireland

All the following inventors are from Northern Ireland. Dr. Dinsmore helped develop a heart medication which has a famous side-effect, now known as Viagra. In mid 1700s Cadbury produced “Hans Sloan’s milk chocolate.” Harry Ferguson invented the Ferguson tractor. Frank Pantridge the portable defibrillator. Earnest Walton first split the atom. There are many other inventors. That’s good considering those things were invented a while ago in a country whose population was close to the modern-day city of Dallas, TX or San Diego. The above photo of a Ferguson tractor is in East Yorkshire, England. This has nothing to do with Trapped, but it’s interesting.
