Certain inventions are better than others, and at the same time, there are some that should not have seen the light of day. Or maybe it's good that they appeared, just to make us laugh!?
From solar bikinis to the stylus to be worn on the nose, they seem to be invented to shock us, because yes, some designers make gadgets designed to shock. Some are made with the intention of being used and are taken seriously by designers, but in the real world are they ever actually used? In public?
We have collected some of the most ridiculous and strange inventions ever conceived and taken seriously by designers.
Solar bikini
Literally, as the name suggests, this bikini uses the sun's rays to power any connected device. Thanks to a USB connector, a phone can be charged while the sun is shining. It costs $200.
Nose stylus
Designer Dominic Wilcox came up with the idea of a stylus for the nose as a means to make multi-tasking more efficient.
Bye Fit
This device might look like an ancient torture device, but it's actually designed to work out at your fatza gym. The muscle toning device was even endorsed by Cristiano Ronaldo for his many Japanese fans.
The Fliz
Designed to overcome the discomfort of a bicycle saddle!?
massage me
Designed to work with a gamepad, Massage me should have been enjoyed by couples who are used to playing together.
Beauty And The Geek Keyboard Jeans
Dutch designer student Erik de Nijs I think really hates to carry the keyboard when needed, so instead of using a laptop, he integrated a keyboard into his jeans. But not only that, they have a built-in speaker and mouse.
Doryu 2-16 Room
This camera, from the Doryu Camera Company, was created in 1954 as a police snapper that not only looks like a gun, but also makes a gun-like noise.
Metal Detector Sandals
If you are ready to go to the beach, why not have shoes that will look for a treasure for you in the sand? That must be the idea behind these shoes.
Ice Cream Cone Rotator
Eating an ice cream can be a headache. With this invention, you only have to hold your tongue in one place and the cone will rotate by itself. Useful? Nah.
Keys Enhancing Forks
Taste enhancing forks that use scent to add a bit more to the sensation of eating.
Motorized Case Scooter
Baby Mop
MyFreeble
Hold hands across the world. This odd little guy mimics the hand holding across an internet connection. You squeeze yours and your child feels his one change like you're there holding his hand. That's not depressing at all.
Hamster Shredder
This is actually a pretty good idea. The hamster rides the wheel, which feeds the shredder that turns your old documents into hamster litter.
Sonic Grenades
Probably designed to deafen the neighbors who wake you up in the morning with the sound of the car.
Pet Shower Curtain
Finger Fork
Inner Selfie Stick
Probably the most disgusting invention ever made. Selfies have gone too far!!!
egg cube
