11 bizarre inventions of the past (11 photos)

Man has invented things throughout history. Many things became an integral part of everyday life, but some were too strange to enter into everyday life. These are the ones we will consider.

Radio stroller





Radio became such an integral part of life that in the 1920s they began to be attached to wheelchairs. This made daily walks with the kids more exciting.

Morrison's Hideout



During World War II, a shelter was invented in Britain for use inside a residential building. It was a metal box with a mesh on the sides. At night people slept in it, and during the day they used it as a table. Such cages saved many, because they withstood the weight of collapsed walls and ceilings.

Rail Zeppelin





Created by German engineer Franz Krukenberg in 1929, the carriage was propelled by a propeller. It reached a speed of 230 km/h and covered the distance from Hamburg to Spandau (270 km) in just 1 hour 36 minutes.

Cyclomer



This bicycle model was intended for use on reservoirs. The cyclomer, introduced in Paris in 1932, was equipped with floats. Considered to be the world's first amphibious bicycle.

Periscope glasses for reading while lying down



Hamblin glasses went on sale in 1936. They work on the principle of a periscope. You can enjoy a book without straining your neck. Some avid readers still use this invention today!

Robot vacuum cleaner



While the Roomba may seem like a modern invention, these little helpers actually date back decades.

Patented back in 1957, the robot vacuum cleaner was controlled using a remote control. It was part of Whirlpool's "Wonder Kitchen of the Future" and was designed to make housework a breeze.

Family bike



Tandem bikes have been around for a long time, but none have ever looked as extreme as this one. Two seats for pedalers, a front passenger seat and even a sewing room on the go! As you can imagine, the bicycle did not gain popularity.

Walking cages



Although it’s hard to imagine today, people used to attach cages to the windows of their apartments so that their babies could breathe fresh air and sunbathe. Fortunately, this practice has fallen out of fashion over time.

Machine for shaving



A machine that could shave the faces of several men at once was a very real thing in the 19th century. There was no ability to adjust movements to each face, which prevented success.

Spaghetti fork



Pasta lovers should be delighted. Russell E. Oakes developed a fork that quickly spins spaghetti on its own.

Paired dance shoes



Many people claim that they have two left feet when it comes to dancing. Why deprive yourself of pleasure? This invention is designed to solve the problem. In such shoes, partners can dance in unison.
