![]() ![]() The modern world as we know it was shaped by the minds of geniuses. But the same "outside the box" thinking that gave us our great innovations also gave them some truly ridiculous ideas. Does that give us the right to mock some of history's greatest minds? Ah, who knows? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#6.Thomas Edison's Ghost Busting Machine ![]() Thomas Edison is America's most beloved ass of an inventor, famous for stealing other people's inventions, hiring thugs to physically intimidate his competition and heroically electrocuting an elephant to discredit the use of alternating current. Also, he invented the light bulb (which he stole) and the motion picture camera, which he only invented so he could film himself being naughty (debatable). ![]() "...and you'll just be in the closet the whole time we're playing doctor, filming the crap out of it." After intentionally burning his finger to point that his fingerprint was erased, Edison noted the fingerprint grew back and triumphantly concluded that all human beings must be made of "immortal units" which cannot be destroyed, thus explaining the existence of ghosts. He set about creating a device that would trap these immortal units and allow them to be studied by the living. ![]() "GET THE MICROSCOPE!" ![]() You'll have to watch Casper: Origins to learn more.

#5.Nikola Tesla's Earthquake Machine
![]() Nikola Tesla is like the photo negative of Thomas Edison. Edison made Direct Current (DC), Tesla made Alternating Current (AC). Edison became grotesquely rich, Tesla died poor. Edison got tons of stuff named after him, including corporations and high schools. All Tesla got was a crappy rock band from Sacramento. Though it wasn't all sour grapes for Tesla--while Edison invented some pretty common place items like light bulbs and record players, Tesla excelled in awesome invention like robots, wireless electricity and death rays. He predicted the Internet 80 years before its existence. Also, he was played by David Bowie in a movie. ![]() "Immediately, I rule harder than any scientist ever." Allegedly while testing his electro-mechanical oscillator (or earthquake machine), many buildings began to shake. Once the very building he stood in began to tremble, Tesla took a sledgehammer to the device, destroying it and likely saving everyone in the city. ![]() "Crap, I've gotta break this damn thing." ![]() Tesla wouldn't hesitate to murder you with science.

Tesla FTW
![]() Imagine wireless electricity !! I've read once that at that time, and after Tesla succeeded in transmitting electricity wirless, copper manufacturers fought him because this invention could have ended their business... too bad the world is still unable to discover how Tesla made it !

Tesla's Oscillator/Earthquake machine
Tesla's oscillator is purely mechanical. Steam would be forced into the oscillator, and exit through a series of ports, the net effect of which was to cause the armature to vibrate at high speed, within its casing. The casing was by necessity very strong, as temperatures due to pressure heating in the upper chamber exceeded 200 degrees, and the pressure reached 400psi. Other versions of the machine were created, designed to produce electrical power, both alternating and direct, (without the need for rectifiers). Another variation used electromagnets to control the frequency of the piston's oscillation.

#4.Alexander Graham Bell's Six Nippled Sheep
![]() As all of you (hopefully) know, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, which is arguably the single most important invention of all freaking time. As probably none of you know, one of Bell's less notable inventions is the six nippled sheep. ![]() "SIX NIPPLES ON A FREAKING SHEEP! HELL YEAH!!" ![]() Bell versus Evolution: The Throwdown. Cow nipples are next!! (bi tasarrof ![]()

#3.Dr. Yoshiro Nakamatsu's Love Spray
![]() While not widely known in America, Dr. Yoshiro Nakamatsu (who prefers to go by Dr. NakaMats) is a legend in Japan. He holds the world record for most patents at 3,200, three times as many as Edison. He had a hand in inventing the floppy disk, CDs, DVDs, digital watches and karaoke machines. Look around at all the stuff in your apartment and Dr. NakaMats probably had a hand in its creation. ![]() This is not a random Google image result for "Japanese man". This is actually Dr. NakaMats. http://vimeo.com/8420467 Dr. NakaMats claims to have tested his invention on over 10,000 women, but hastens to point out, "I'm not doing the sex, just checking the meters." It's also important to note that Dr. NakaMats asserts Love Jet removes the need for foreplay, which is like removing the dialog from a Michael Bay movie and just leaving the explosions. ![]() Dr. NakaMats again, just hangin'. And we haven't even gotten to the nutty part. Dr. Nats sells his Love Jet for 30,000 yen (about $250) but they cost 80,000 yen to produce, resulting in a $400 loss per bottle. Why? Because Dr. NakaMats is worried about Japan's decreasing birth rate. He considers getting men and women aroused a civic duty. Why can't our patriots be like that? ![]() (bi tasarrof )

#2.Joseph von Littrow's Flaming Intergalactic Communicator
![]() Born in 1781, Joseph von Littrow was a nobleman and esteemed mathematician. In 1819 he became the director of the Vienna Observatory and developed the Littrow projection, the only conformal retroazimuthal map projection (this is fancy talk for "a map that accurately shows the angular distance between two points" or "Mapquest"). Despite all his perfectly reasonable and respectable contributions to astronomy, Littrow knew he had at least one formidably insane idea in him, and that idea involved fire. ![]() Joseph Littrow gold medal in craziness. ![]() A ladder to the stars.
