Lonnie George Johnson
(born October 6, 1949)
Out of both interest and economic necessity, Johnson’s father was a skilled handyman who taught his six children to build their own toys.
When Johnson was still a small boy, he and his dad built a pressurized china berry shooter out of bamboo shoots.
At the age of 13, Johnson attached a lawnmower engine to a go-kart he built from junkyard scraps and raced it along the highway until the police pulled him over.
