    What invention made L. Nobel a rich man?

    Question #54883. Asked by Flem-ish.

    Tricky. Ludwig Nobel (brother of Alfred "Dynamite" Nobel) worked with another brother, Robert on an oil processing plant in Baku. There he invented black mineral pulverising systems for more efficent fuel burning.
    More recently, there is also a Vishay Nobel who used microprocessors in weighing devices. I don't know if he is related.
