David Gordon Wilson is emeritus professor of engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Born in Warwickshire, England, Wilson moved to the USA in 1953. After his doctorate and post-doctoral work he taught engineering design and pursued a long-standing interest into human powered transport. He is credited, along with Chester Kyle, with starting the modern recumbent bicycle movement in the USA. Wilson is inventor of the 'Wilson Turbogenerator' which is currently being developed. An electrical efficiency of greater than 50% is claimed for his design. A prototype 300 kW microturbine should be completed by the end of 2006.
