Philo Taylor Farnsworth was an American inventor who invented the first ever fully functional all-electronic picture pickup device (or video camera tube) and the first ever fully functional and complete all-electronic TV system. He was also the first man to show the system to the general public. Farnsworth, who developed a television system with camera and receiver, later produced the system commercially under the Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The great American inventor also invented the Farnsworth–Hirsch fusor, a small nuclear fusion device. Although this device isn’t practical enough to generate nuclear energy, it manages to serve as a feasible source of neutrons. Farnsworth’s inventions also contributed to the creation of the electron microscope, gastroscope, baby incubator, and astronomical telescope. All these contributions earned him numerous awards and honours. Various memorials were built in his name and a few streets/awards were named after him; for instance, The Philo Awards (annual public-access television cable competition) and the ‘The Genius of Green Street’ are named after Farnsworth. The Letterman Digital Arts Center, located in San Francisco, built a statue of him in order to honor the great inventor.
