J. Mike O'Dwyer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Michael O'Dwyer is an inventor that grew up in Muttaburra, Queensland, Australia.
He only completed grade 12 education, but went on to be a manager at Woolworths Limited before his inventions were able to provide an income.
O'Dwyer spent 15 years developing a rapid-fire gun prototype called Metal Storm that uses stacked projectiles. The technology is being commercialised by a company also called Metal Storm.
An American company Breeze Technology Holdings has in the past attempted to commercialise another of his inventions - air-cooled sneakers.[1][2].
