Have you ever wondered what the
strangest inventions are? Keep reading, and you will learn about some of the
strangest inventions of 2010. Although quite odd, if you have the nerve to use
any of these products in public, they may be useful.
The Baby Mop
The first one in this series was invented by a Japanese man, Kenji Kawakami. It’s called the Baby Mop. The Baby Mop is an unusual and bizarre invention. It is so odd that the inventor coined a word to classify it into a category; it’s called the Chindogu category. In fact, Kawakami founded the International Chindogu Society for unusually strange inventions. The criterion for membership is that the inventor’s creation be so ridiculous and useless, that the fact that it is real and practical is nearly forgotten.
The idea behind the Baby Mop is to get your floors mopped while keeping track of your child. The mop fibers protrude from the legs, arms and tummy of a garment the size of a baby that crawls. The baby is put on top of the clothing that has the protruding mop fibers, and while he or she crawls on the floor it gets mopped from the movements of the baby.
Hamster Powered Paper Shredder
Next is the Hamster Powered Paper Shredder. That’s right! You can shred your paper with the aid of a hamster. This unit was designed by Tom Ballhatchet. The paper shredder is built into a hamster’s cage. While the hamster runs on the typical round cylinder seen in hamster cages, it activates the shredder. This is when you insert the paper into the unit for shredding.
E-tomb
Have you been thinking about your future gravesite or headstone? The E-tomb is one of the strangest inventions; however, it is quite innovative at the same time. The E-tomb is a grave marker that is powered by solar energy. The cross on the front of the headstone is equipped to enable a key to be inserted into it and connecting by means of bluetooth technology.
The headstone, through the connection, provides digital information about the deceased. It provides audio and video clips, pictures, social networking sites, and it gives out information on the individual’s digital personality. The headstone is also capable of uploading information from friends that may stop by with the intention of making it a memorable experience for friends of the deceased. The E-tomb was designed by Huang Jianbo, Zhao Ting, Wang Yushan, Ran Xiangfei and Mo Ran.
Umbrella Shoes
Do you hate getting your feet wet during a rainstorm? Umbrella Shoes may be one of the strangest inventions, but you will end up with dry feet. A small umbrella approximately three inches high is attached to the pointy end of each shoe, where your big toe is. The umbrella is opened, and you are ready to walk outside in the rain keeping your feet dry. The circumference of the opened umbrella is just wide enough not to interfere with your feet or legs.
Sweeper Slippers
Last but not least of the strangest inventions are the Sweeper Slippers. This invention is a pair of slippers with a dustpan attached to one slipper at the point where your big toe is and a miniature broom, without the stick, attached to the other slipper at the point where your other big toe is. To sweep your floor, you simply maneuver your feet to brush the dirt onto the dustpan.
These inventions from 2010 are only several of which most people may never hear of. Nevertheless, for the courageous person who doesn’t mind looking like a fool, if not useful, these inventions can be a lot of fun.
