Dr. John Gorrie was the first in the US to receive a patent for a machine which would cool & condense air artificially, producing quantities of ice in the process.
He was issued patent #8080 on May 6, 1851 for an "ICE MACHINE" - the culmination of years of research & experimentation trying to generate artificial ice to use for medical reasons, cooling the rooms of sick patients long after winter had passed.
Although Gorrie's principles are still used in modern-day ice making, he was never properly recognized in his own time for this pioneering work. Low demand, a sometimes-unreliable machine, and the strong opposition of the ice lobby made it impossible for Gorrie to find any investors to support his invention.
Instead, he was ridiculed into seclusion and, unable to find investors to perfect & manufacture his machine, died humiliated, alone, and penniless.
