Charlie Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber by accident

by accident in 1839. He was experimenting with mixing rubber and sulfur, and accidentally dropped the mixture onto a hot stove. Instead of melting, the rubber charred and hardened, leading to the discovery of vulcanization.

A new revolutionary rubber industry was created.
