Speaking specifically of Diogenes, there is an electric motor equivalent.
Diogenes is considered the "Father of Cynicism," however there aren't really any comprehensive records of his teachings. Alot of what we know is taken from Crates of Thebes who kind of picked up Diogenes's torch. This would later be taken by Antisthenes (who would be called "Founder of Cynicism") where he attempts to staple ethics onto these ideas. Eventually this gets absorbed into Stoicism but I don't know the whole story there. All I know from there is Stoicism kinda gets rubbed out in the 3rd century by Christianity.
Edit: also there was a kind of revival of this Cynicism when Peter Sloterdijk and Michel Foucault had their fascinations with Diogenes.
