The Utopia of Father Himalaya

Father Himalaya was a genial inventor of the beginning of the XX century. Coming from a poor family in the North of Portugal he became priest and had the chance to give free range to his creativity. He travelled to London, Paris, New York, had rich patrons and built dream-like machines. One of them won the first prize in the St. Louis Exposition in the U.S.A. Unfortunately it was too soon to put in practice his studies on solar energy, drugs with mineral salts, rain cannon, recycling.
