On November 11, 1930, Albert Einstein and Leo Szilard received a patent for their absorption refrigerator, which had no moving parts, maintained a constant pressure, and only needed a source of heat to operate. It was called the Einstein Refrigerator, making it the world’s first "smart" appliance.

Physicist and inventor Leo Szilard conceived of the idea of nuclear chain reactions on this day in 1933 while waiting at a red light. What a waste. I scored 139 points with "JIBE" on Words with Friends the last time I waited at a red light. I know how to use my time wisely.
