Lord Carter? He found Pharao Tutenchamoun's (dunno the Englich spelling) grave, and Tutench... whatever was only about 18 years old by the time of his death.

Are you certain? I hadn't checked out google for the answer, but upon reading your answer I found frequent mentions of Lord Howard Carter while the search for "Lord Caravan Tutankaman" didn't bring any results.

I'll check to be sure
BTW congrats on reaching 2000!

If you are sitting in the "cage" named after me you are save from electricity of whatever voltage (e.g. lightnings). If you are siting in a car for example you are sitting in a ... cage.

Bessemer?

Nope. Who is Bessemer?
In many museums on natural sciences they demonstrate the visitors how somebody can sit in a kind of cage while whole lightings of electricity are "shot" at it, while the person in the cage remains unscratched. This experiment is based on the experiments of the scientist I'm looking for. He was an Englishman by the way.

Is an element named after him?

I don't think so (though I'm not a 100% sure). He is best known I guess for inventing the electric transformer.

Micheal Faraday?

Exactly!

Antonio Meucci? There are quite a few competitors in this case.

Nick22 · **Reply #215 on:** April 13, 2005, 02:19:05 PM

Nope. Just keep guessing

Werner von Siemens?

Nick22 · **Reply #217 on:** April 13, 2005, 02:39:47 PM

Nope. He is probably the most famous of Bell's rivals through

Elisha Grey?
(It almost seems like almost everybody had a self-invented telephone in the own house anyway

Yep, you got it.
