Inventions
In 1924, Schottky co-invented the Ribbon microphone along with Dr. Gerwin Erlach. The idea was that a very fine ribbon suspended in a magnetic field could generate electric signals. This in turn lead also to the invention of the Ribbon Loudspeaker by using it in the reverse order, but not until high flux permanent magnets became available in the late 1930s.

“The treasury of America lies in those ambitions and those energies that cannot be restricted to a special, favored class. It depends upon the inventions of unknown men; upon the originations of unknown men, upon the ambitions of unknown men. Every country is renewed out of the ranks of the unknown, not out of the ranks of those already famous and powerful and in control.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“New inventions can and will be made; however, nothing new can be thought of that concerns moral man. Everything has already been thought and said which at best we can express in different forms and give new expressions to.”
