Abraham Darby
He masturbated on the iron before he smelted it ! :D
to produce less expensive, better-quality iron
Abraham Darby's experiments with coke as a fuel led him to develop a method for smelting iron ore using coke instead of charcoal. This discovery revolutionized the iron industry by making production faster, more efficient, and less expensive. It also played a key role in the Industrial Revolution.
Abraham Darby did.

The Iron Bridge near Telford in Shropshire, England, was designed by Thomas Farnolls Pritchard, and it was built by Abraham Darby III.
The first iron bridge was made in Coalbrookdale in Shropshire
He invented coke smelting. Coke is a fuel with few impurities and a high carbon content, usually made from coal. The carbon monoxide produced by its combustion reduces iron oxide (hematite) in the production of the iron product thus creating a better quality of iron.
Thomas Farnolls Pritchard, designed the world's first iron bridge and it was built by by Abraham Darby III.
The world's first cast iron bridge was built over the River Severn at Coalbrookdale in the year 1779.
Abraham Darby replaced charcoal with coke in iron melting in the early 18th century. Darby's use of coke in his furnace at Coalbrookdale revolutionized iron production by allowing for a more efficient and controlled process, leading to the growth of the industrial revolution.
