You will soon discover that Elisha Otis is a great science hero.

Elisha Otis was born on August 3, 1811 and he invented a better and more stabilized elevator in 1853. In 1743, someone invented the first ever elevator and a lot of people kept dying because the rope from the top of the elevator broke often and the rope was always being replaced. So, Elisha Otis made a new type of elevator that was machine powered for it to go up and down to get to the floor that people lived or work on.

Elisha’s heroic characteristics are very interesting because he is the kind of person that likes to be caring and respectful to others. He is also thoughtful because he was getting tired of everyone starting to die because of the unsafe elevators that were invented in 1743, so he decided to create a safer elevator for the whole world to use.
