		Evans' first invention was in 1777, when he designed a machine for making card teeth for carding wool.
		As Evans designed a refrigeration machine which ran on vapor in 1805, he is often called the inventor of the refrigerator, although he never built one.
		Evans claimed that his dredge was the first self-powered amphibious vehicle, as well as the first self-powered land vehicle in the United States (steam powered automobiles had already been used earlier in France and Great Britain).

	Oliver Evans Nelson, Jr
		Born in Seattle, Washington, Oliver was raised in the vicinity of New Haven, Connecticut and first experienced maize genetics as a summer high school assistant in the Department of Genetics, Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station.
		Oliver showed that these were distributed throughout the locus rather than being concentrated in a control region at one end of the gene.
		The second main contribution from Oliver's lab during his last decade of activity, and one that involved perhaps the largest number of students and postdocs that he had in his career at any one time, was the elucidation of many of the changes that these highly unstable elements are capable of undergoing.

	Early American Life
		Evans was America's first true engineer, earning the third patent granted by the U. government and creating the first systems approach to a civil engineering problem, the operation of gristmills.
		Most likely, Evans hired a shipwright to build his hull, and it would be constructed like any boat designed for its displacement with strong timbers to hold it together and strong support for the mass of the boiler, perhaps a keel inside the flat bottom Evans describes.
		Evans may have believed the brick would have acted as a safety measure in event of a boiler explosion, not realizing the potential power of the explosion would make the bricks themselves lethal.
