Tennessee

Also, I'm sure there are better inventions that have come out of Alabama than the windshield wiper.

ETA: Assuming this link is correct...

Any incestuous marriages are considered legitimate in Alabama.

ETA: Yea I think every state listed has something better than what that article suggest. (except maybe Idaho, Montana and the Dakotas)

North Carolina

Powered flight

The Wright Brothers developed their flying machines in Ohio and North Carolina, but it wasn’t until that fateful flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903 that they officially opened the era of aviation with a power-driven “heavier-than-air machine.”

I believe...NC and Ohio over this especially regarding, "first in flight" license plates

Yea, if you go to the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville it has an entire wall of cool inventions from Alabama. Most are better than a windshield wiper, although wipers probably get more daily use than most inventions.

Yeah I'm from Huntsville. There are a lot of inventions/technologies that people don't even realize were developed in the process of us going to the moon (we did tinfoilheads). I guess they may not technically fall under "invented in Alabama" but we had a part in them (cell phone towers, velcro, etc.)

It is a sweet wrecker. Of course, the following were also in vented in Tennessee:

First touchscreen (Elographics, Inc., Oak Ridge, TN)
Cotton Candy (Morrison and Wharton, Nashville, TN)
Minature Golf (Garnet Carter, Chattanooga, TN)
Self-Service Grocery (Piggly Wiggly, Memphis, TN)

Tennessee also had the first continuously operating nuclear reactor (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN)
