Oh, the beauty of a well designed invention. It can bring convenience, efficiency and a degree of happiness to everyday life. But let's take a look at some of the less successful ones. The ones that didn't quite make the cut or become household words. Source: stayweird.com

Need a nicely done tan in a hurry? Try the Suntan Vending Machine by Star Manufacturing. Model Betty Dutter shows how easy it is to "glow and go" in the year 1949. Would you try this invention?

Who wouldn't love a family bike? Open in a new tab to see full picture. Dad and son are working those pedals while Mom sews and baby girl just enjoys the ride. The official name is Goofy Bike. Sorry to say Charles Steinlauf's 1939 creation never saw the light of day. Were you aware of this bike before the survey?

Honestly Tellwuters, I had nothing to do with this invention so please don't report me to Child Protective Services. The Baby Mop was invented in 2012 and introduced as a way to combine childcare with house cleaning. It was a onesie with mop-like material on the legs and arms so baby could be useful ...crawling and cleaning at the same time. Have you ever heard of the Baby Mop?

Although the Thought Camera never actually materialized, Nikola Tesla believed it could be possible to photograph thoughts. The idea came while he was doing experiments in 1893. The way he envisioned it, an image formed by thought would reflect a corresponding image on the retina which could possibly be read on a screen. Do you think a thought camera would do more harm than good?

The portable hat radio has elegance, technology and vivid color! What could go wrong? Here it is featured on the cover of Radio-Electronics, June 1949, looking very much like a mixture of safari hat and UFO. Were you aware of this device before the survey?
