Charles Proteus Steinmetz was a hunchback, immigrant dwarf who migrated to the United States from Germany in the early part of the 20th century... What a story! The man revolutionized electrical power distribution by developing the concept of phasor transformation, which uses the principles of imaginary number systems to drastically reduce the number of calculations necessary in working with alternating current systems. Unbelievable. Sometimes all it takes is being an otherworldly genius.
