  1. I question the refrigerator claim in the vid. Scottish Australian James Harrison invented the mechanical refrigerator. The first person to patent it too. His technology is also used in air conditioning systems too. ~"While numerous methods of refrigeration were conceived prior to this invention, Geelong Advertiser newspaper editor James Harrison created the first vapour-compression mechanical ice-making machine in 1851. It was first patented as a “refrigerating machine”. By 1857, he created the world’s first large-scale refrigerator. Harrison won a gold medal at the Melbourne Exhibition in 1873, proving meat that had been frozen for months was still edible. It wasn’t long until meatpacking plants and more importantly, breweries, bought into the invention. His patent remains the blueprint for refrigeration around the globe. "~ This video was very UK US invention focused. So i will add - Australia also invented the cochlear ear implant, Google maps, black box recorder, emergency escape slide for aircraft, ultrasound technology, baby capsules, the pacemaker , polymer bank notes, electric drill, motorized lawn mower, dual flush toilet, WiFi, polilight forensic lamp, cervical cancer vaccine, application of penicillin. Theres more but that's off top of my head lol.
