Ben Gulak
Ben Gulak (born 1989) is a Canadian inventor best known for creating the Uno, an eco-friendly,〔〔 electric-powered vehicle that bears a resemblance to a motorized unicycle.〔 The vehicle had its first public unveiling in 2008,〔 and was awarded a Top-10 prize on ''Popular Science's'' list of 2008 Invention Awards.〔 Gulak founded the Massachusetts-based company BPG Motors, which has also developed a design for the DTV (dual-tracked vehicle) Shredder, a portable all-terrain vehicle with the handlebars of a Segway and treads similar to those of a tank.〔
==Early life==
Benjamin J. Poss Gulak〔〔 was born in 1989〔 in Milton, Ontario.〔 He is the only child of Ken and Sylvie Gulak. His father is in the food business, and his mother is a psychotherapist.〔 Gulak's grandfather was a design engineer,〔 and at a young age Gulak would help his grandfather tinker in his basement machine shop.〔 He spent much of his childhood making model trains, rockets, and other projects,〔 and was a fan of inventor Nikola Tesla.〔 His grandfather died in 2003, and Gulak inherited the machine shop.〔〔
In ninth grade, he entered a school science fair with a "real simple magnetic car that shot around a track using accelerator coils."〔〔 He ended up being chosen to represent Canada on an International Level on Team Canada, which consists of 18 people competing against 54 other countries.〔 According to Gulak, his classes subsequently suffered as he frequently skipped school to work on further science fair projects.〔 In 2005, he entered in McMaster Engineering's summer L.E.A.P. program, where he was a team leader in the robotics program and helped the team win a robot-building competition.〔
