Electromechanical teenager repellant

I actually remember reading about this one a while ago being tested outside a shop that was a hangout for kids; it was invented by Howard Stapleton (Merthyr Tydfil, Wales). It is basically a device that makes annoying high-pitched noise designed to be audible to teenagers but not to adults, nicknamed the ‘mosquito’. Its aim was basically to deterrent aims to solve the problem of unwanted gatherings of youths and teenagers in shopping malls, around shops and anywhere else they are causing problems, claiming to be "the most effective tool in our fight against anti social behavior". Funnily enough this technology was used to also create ringtones for teenagers that are audible only to them but perhaps not there teachers.

Anti-Loitering Devices

Anti-flatulence Underwear

This one was makes me LOL and at the same time haha



My hubby needs a pair of these haha, these were invented by Buck Weimer (colarado), and bears the slogan of "Wear them for the ones you love" *s'n-word'*, it is advertised as airtight underwear with a replaceable charcoal filter that removes bad-smelling gases before they escape.

Automobile burglar alarm consisting of a detection circuit and a flamethrower

well what can I say lol, the inventers were Charl Fourie and Michelle Wong (Johannesburg, South Africa). It is basically a car alarm that has a detection circuit and an attached flamethrower; these are ment to deter carjacking which are pretty serious business in south Africa. When a carjacking occurs, the driver steps on an additional pedal next to accelerator and flames erupt from outer sides of both front doors, "neutralizing" the assailant. The inventors claim that it is unlikely to kill but it can blind an assailant. Apparently South Africa, it is legal to use lethal force in self-defense if in fear of ones life, and ownership of flamethrowers is unrestricted.

Pegasus Grand Piano



This must be the coolest piano ever! According to This site here

A collaboration between Italian designer Luigi "Allergic to Straight Lines" Colani and German piano-makers Schimmel in the late 1990s, the Pegasus grand piano looks like something you'd see on a Star Trek set.
Updates to the classic form include a slightly curved, ergonomic keyboard (eliminating any need for the player to move their body), an electrically-controlled hydraulic lid (to control projection) and a fully adjustable integrated leather stool. With over 200 strings under a total tension of 176,520 newtons and a key assembly with over 100 pieces (both standard to Schimmels), it's clearly a world-class instrument. In fact, only 14 were ever made

To round of the thread here is a show case of weird and wacky inventions photos hope you have liked the thread.







































Thank you all for reading

Yet again, awesome thread, it's amazing some of the things practical and un-practical that the human mind can conceive.

And I have to get myself one of those knife holder's.

I like that staircase drawer idea, I think I'll incorperate that into my next house.

The duct fan flyer though will have to wait until I win the lotto.

Here to pwn your jetpack with a different one.

www.youtube.com...

I'd call him Rocket Man, if he didnt blatantly have enormous balls of steel !

Dont forget the wacky inventions of Arthur Paul Pedrick

like his PHOTON PUSH-PULL RADIATION DETECTOR FOR USE IN CHROMATICALLY SELECTIVE CAT FLAP CONTROL AND 1000 MEGATON EARTH-ORBITAL PEACE-KEEPING BOMB

The idea was to detect the difference in fur colour between a ginger cat and a black cat. He came up with this idea because a black cat named "Blackie" from next door kept trying to steal his own cat's food. However, with Pedrick's new catflap design, if Blackie attempted to use the cat-flap he would not be allowed in. Ginger was impressed with the idea, and further suggested that the concept could be applied as a nuclear deterrent. Ginger's concern over the Cold War and the nuclear arsenals threatening the world was a regular motivator for Pedrick's inventions.

or his Arrangements for the transfer of fresh water from one location on the earth's surface to another at a different latitude, for the purpose of irrigation, with pumping energy derived from the effect of the earth's rotation about the polar axis

In this patent, Pedrick describes in extremely long detail, with pages of mathematical equations, how snow and ice could be passed along pipelines from the Antarctic to irrigate the dry Australian outback, creating a "granary of the East" that could feed the burgeoning population of the world. Since the flow of water from one region to the other through such pipelines would not be practicable, according to Pedrick, the suggestion is to instead compress the snow into hard balls that could be fired along these pipelines as projectiles.

As will the Star Trek Piano.

But I like the staircase drawer too, it looks very practical.

I soo want the toilet paper/ipod port.

dare i admit this...?

yes i dare!

i actually have on of these:



lol, except it's not specifically for the ipod

awesome thread!

wow, that stair/drawer idea is pretty ingenious. that would be really helpful for a lot of people, especially places with extreme over population.

hands down, the funniest thing is the Chinese wash basin though. that one gave me a good laugh

If you get one of those, I'll go out with you, lol:

I really like that ipod stereo toilet paper thing its pretty smart and I like those stairs that are storage that is a really good idea... if only i had stairs... :0

I'm in my 30's and apparently I can here the annoying teenage buzz sound.
This would drive me crazy


it makes me wince and sounds like an ultrasonic dentist drill

reply to post by ELahrairah




I heard it! 36!

maybe I'm not as old as I look!

reply to post by ELahrairah

Dam that is annoying and I'm 35, My kids come running out of their rooms asking what on earth is going on as I played that at full volume.

30 and that hurts my ears worse than a dog whistle

Haha what is with that wash basin as well as the private scarf thingy .

You know what the majority of this thread has given me a laugh heh

I too heard that and it made my fillings tingle. I wonder why some adults can hear it while others cannot. I played it with someone else in the room and he was looking at me like I was crazy because that sound cut right through my head but he didn't hear a thing..

reply to post by irsuccubus


So many people with too much time on their hands and creativity takes a lot of wrong turns.

I'm over 60 and could hear that mosquito sound. Had the volume turned up and it still wasn't very loud (for me) but I definitely could hear it so it seems I haven't quite yet worn my ears out. The younger generation with painfully loud ipod headphones grafted onto their ears almost permanently may not fare as well though.

Great thread. Here is my favorite weird, wacky and completely useless invention:
