Description
Some of the wildest inventions came from clever minds that wanted to change the world. But some of these inventions are truly strange. From crazy early flying machines to wacky mash-ups like a gun that takes pictures, there are many crazy creations that lived short lives. Even practical inventions of the past--like the phonograph--look strange compared to modern inventions such as televisions and MP3 players. This book takes a look at some of the strangest inventors and inventions made throughout time, as well as why these inventions failed or evolved into something we use today.
