Why is he famous?
Louis Brennan was famous for inventing the first Mono-rail which helped developing the 1st helicopters. He also patented The Torpedo which was used by the British Army Royal Engineers between 1890-1906. Brennan's gyroscopic monorail would become the must-have transport system of the 20th century. He did not succeed but nonetheless, with a torpedo and a helicopter also under his belt, Brennan must surely be the most remarkable inventor ever born in Ireland.
