Tom Lopez, the Gardener's Inventor
When Tom Lopez decided to repair his wife's broken down tiller motor, he replaced it with an electric one run by solar charged batteries. But he didn't stop there. The inventor, who has a degree in aerospace engineering, came up with 10 walking tractors, used for plowing or weeding, that were converted to solar power as well. He also has been working on a solar riding tractor and hopes that the entire line will be picked up by an investor for mass distribution. We hope so, too.
