First Influcence - How he changed today with his inventions.
Henry Ford was an inventor. He helped today move forward. Literally. He built cars with an internal combustion engines that were much lighter then the ones already. 500pounds to be exact. When put in cars because it’s so much lighter it helped them move faster. The engine was by far the lightest of any American vehicle. He later got in trouble because a patent was made and he had broken the patent on the engines design, he went to court and they ruled out that it didn't break the patent and he was free to go without fines or jail time. He helped today move forward, because his company, is still alive and makes good cars, such as mustangs. He helped today move forward with his inventions that have been passed down to the today world and modernized. Thanks for your time (:
