He'd so be the grandpa whose house I'd never want to leave.
They love to keep our talents hidden, but I'm glad someone recognized him for the world to know
i am indian, post obama even i am seeing more such stories not befpre
I think we should have a movie about his legacy titled the Beautiful mind of an inventor.
This man is responsible for bringing joy and wonder to millions around the world.
#peace with a Big-B; not the little 1🤣
Another inventor we should have heard about, Respect!!
Thats one you then. Theres many MANY more people who deserve recognition too....but its up to you to research it. Theres more info out there now accessible to everyone than there ever has been in history.
Im glad to see someone that looks like me creating awesome stuff.
Maybe open a history book next time.
@@autofocus4556 You must not live in America where they never were in books, and now that they are...the books are being banned.
@@ninastone9054👆💯👏4ever This Part!!
@@ninastone9054 And you must not have read very many books. And your whining about banned books doesnt include the ones we are talking about. You honestly dont seem bright enough to be on the internet, let alone comments.
This story makes my heart smile. "Get it out of your head and into the world!" Lanny Smoot. ❤ It's definitely the confirmation I needed ☺️🥰
This gentleman is pure genius. Wow.
Congratulations to our dear brother.
Mr Smoot is an amazing genius who clearly didn't allow his humble beginning to halt his dreams. He is very inspirational.
Absolutely incredible! Well deserved Mr. SMOOT!!!
As an Indian teacher this is a story I am going to read to my children. This gentleman is the real deal! Here is an example of how the application of science and technology can lift an individual, family and whole country to a whole new level
Well-deserved induction, Mr. Smoot! 😃
I have to get offline.... This brought tears to my eyes and I don't know why. Respect to you Mr. Smoot 🙏🏾
The world is honoured to have fascinating minds like Lanny Smoot. Thank You God for such gifted people.
amen! 🙏🏾
Wow, beautifully said Sister.
HalleLuYah Halle Lu Yah look up Yah.
@@mjb6839Amen or Amun?
We are limitless if we treat the world and each other with respect.
Indeed, my friend. Indeed.
I love this. I have a kid who has this spark and he's a problem solver. He's been working at our local university electronics laboratory and doing a great deal of technical work. I'd love to see him able to work with his creative and fantasy side.
You should get together with your kid an pen an old fashioned letter to Larry.....this could give your child something to focus on.
@@TheSkyHive He'll be finishing his trade certificate this summer and is looking to find a job to apply it. He's been particularly interested in developing smart prosthetics.
@@TheAccidentalVikingwhat trade is he studying

Thank you Mr. Lanny Smoot to being the force behind creating magical "light saber" experience for millions of us! So happy you are celebrated among many other things like Omni floor. Congratulations sir on being in the Inventors' Hall of Fame!
THANK YOU MR. SMOOT FOR MAKING LIFE BETTER & YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY!!!!
Proud of you sir
Thanks mane
I used to work in a Patent office and all I used say all day long was now why the hell dident I think of that.😅.Fair play to this Guy.
Y.E.S .!! Saw this tis morning! 100 patents-AMAZING ❤❤
Get it out of your head into the world. I needed to hear that. I'm a writer. Thanks for the inspiration!
get out here and write us something amazing. no Tyler Perry.
The most beautiful thing is how he credits his father, whose presence & engagement helped to spark his love for invention. For all you fathers out there that proof positive that your presence & engagement matters. Don't be a deadbeat.
💯 want I continually to the Blk community
I want that Floor. Congratulations sir.
Wow! The floor is amazing!!!
Salute to this man and his colleague. They embody what Disney should be not what it Is now.
👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 and never knew his story. I am now so glad and will share this story. Thank you
What an amazing human!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Make a hospital bed with that technology so patients don't have to develop bed sores due to lazy or overworked health professionals.
I second that
Whoa.. you might into something here. 👍
@Victor_James68 Yeah, I got trillion dollar ideas, but I just can't help hating the concept of money, competition, and egotism.
If I'd been Akhenaten in a former life, that would explain my lack of desire for participating in this world with its current level of ignorance and fear.
Jack Fresco's Venus Project would be awesome, but only if there were no selfish characters involved seeking to stand out amongst everyone else as if they were the end-all, be-all of humankind.
That would be nice, but we have to remember that even if the technology was available to make these beds, people would still have to fight to navigate thru a sea of red tape to conquer the "Feed-Me-SEYMOUR" insatible greed that insurance companies and for profit medical facilities often have.
Most of these companies care more about their profits than the care of their patients.
THANK YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m from Brownsville!!! This is so inspirational
A must for all school children from US and all over the world to visit. Let them see that all people, white black or brown, are so smart - not just the white Europeans.
This is why some politicians want to ban books and certain information from children. Greatness comes in all colors.
The induction was overdue!! 🎉🎊🏆💐💐👏
God bless you brother!
I smiled the entire time I watched this video. Lanny Smoot is an amazing human being who God blessed with a brilliant mind, wonderful parents, and a dream career.
Love this story.❤
An American hero! Congratulations Sir on your achievements and thank you for all your contributions to humanity.🎉🙏🏾❤️
Black hero.
Dam my man said Brownsville Brooklyn he came a long way dam
We give thanks.
That floor is awesome. I could also swing in that door all day.
Well deserved! 🎉
Great!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you. Mr. Smoot! Your induction is Greatly important, your Mind and Soul are Infinitely Valuable! 🙌🏾🙏🏾😇❣️❣️❣️
Well done Mr Smoot!
As I reside in Idaho, it was rewarding to see Philo T Farnsworth name on the wall!
A Great guy! Open the world.
I love this
I love this man. He give me hope in the world.
Fantastic and well deserved.
Congratulations, Mr. Smoot.
Cool name, too!
Just incredible! What a fantastic story.
Congrats to Lanny Smoot on his induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame! 🌟 His innovative contributions, like the omnidirectional treadmill, highlight the incredible of technology.
*Great inventors are the **_real-life_** wizards of childhood. Bless this man and his peers.*
Such a Genius
A vision is just a vision if it's only in your head. - Barbara Streisand
Lanny Smoot, for some reason, is describing the Disney magic that I haven't seen in a long time.
I think every VR headset needs that floor, I couldn't go without it.
Such a genius and what a wonderful friendship he has with Alfredo! I inspire to have a friendship and a brain like these two gentlemen!
What a thrill life is for him every day again! Can't see him planning for retirement 😊
Very inspiring, Mr. Smoot!
❤ stories like this!
Congratulations Mr. Smoot.
I need to leave this man my notebooks.
So inspiring I know that the good people in this world don’t get a lot of recognition, but good is out there
Congratulations from one black Inventor to another 👏 🙌 ❤️
Peace and blessings Elder 🙏🏽
Inspiring! How do you stay inspired to invent something in a world where innovation comes at such a rapid rate, and with such inspiring persistent people like Lanny?
Forwarded this to my kids. Good inspiration for them on several levels.
Now this Lightsaber is So Real! And maybe someday, it might be for sale at Savi’s Workshop. AWESOME JOB LANNY SMOOT FOR BRINGING MAGIC TO THE GALAXY!
Inspiring, Mr. Smoot ❤‼️
Brilliance at it's finest.
Imhotep would be proud.
Here's an interesting piece of trivia: the Mass Ave. bridge that connects the Back Bay of Boston to MIT is measured in Smoots. According to legend, someone named Smoot was laid end to end on the bridge, making him a unit of measure. Wonder if that Smoot is related to Lanny Smoot. Hmm...
No that dude is white, Oliver Smoot
What an Amazing man and story. Thank you Mr. Smoot and to you all that aired this piece.
What a difference to be raised with a caring father in the house.
Very inspirational
A Black Man...let that sink in! Thanks CBS! The light saber...Star Wars.
Black excellence at its finest!!
Let be normal not a surprise that a black man has a good job and is successful
You just blew every nerds mind.
As a black man and a Star Wars fan I had no ideal that this black genius was behind the light saber. Amazing but not surprised because their are many inventions done by black people that are hidden. By the way the Jedi were real people in history who had the " force" of the Jedidiah bloodline in the bible but they were also called prophets. Makes sense didn't Moses have the force. Didn't Jesus have the force. They all were black as well.
Lol 🤣😂🤣
🥇👍🙂💯🙏Think of all the greatness that was held back. 💔😢🙏
What's not to like..such a excellent quote...get it out of your head and bring it into the world !!!!
Congratulations!
Why don't we learn about these people until their old and probably about to retire or have died?
You know why, people like Mr. Smoot destroy the narrative that Black people have never contributed anything to the betterment of society. But on the contrary, we invented the radiator, traffic lights, the underpinning for GPS technology, and the monkey wrench just to name a few. And we most certainly can't look over the fact that a Black man invented the folding chair, possibly one of the most important inventions of all time.
Ohhh, Farnsworth, nice touch, camera guy.
For sure!
what a great story and great person. well done!
Awesomeness!!
What a beautiful and brilliant man! ❤️
Lanny Smoot🌹Bravo
You go boy!!! Brooklyn in the house!❤❤
FASCINATING 👍👏👏👏👏🙏🙋
this shows if one has drive and inspiration, anyone can make it.
Well deserved!
That floor seems awesome! Maybe a lawsuit waiting to happen, but it has real possibilities.
Thank you for such a wonderful cover story on this great inventor
That was awesome. Why can't there be more of this be shared?
Bravo for him and us.
Love his mind! 💕
Oh wow that's impressive
Team USA Maximum patents
Now that’s dope !!! 👊🏼💙
WOWWWW CONGRATULATIONS!!! HOW COOL!!!
