The 7 Most Bizarre Inventions of 2012
The year 2012 was the scene of interesting technological advances in the most diverse areas. But amid so much news, we also saw the launch of some gadgets beyond bizarre. So, dear reader, we invite you to take a look at the retrospective we have prepared, in which you can check out the 7 strangest inventions of the year.
Robotic butt
Robots are nothing new, and there are even some human replicas, armed sentries, and even mechanized animals. But a robotic ass? According to Japanese creator Nobuhiro Takahashi, the mechanical butt is designed to reproduce the movement of the human body in its most basic and subtle form, so that in the future robots can react as a real person would.
Anti-hiccup lollipop
Invented by Mallory Kievman, a 13-year-old American, the anti-hiccup lollipop was created after much research, based on popular beliefs and clinical studies. The girl found that apple cider vinegar can cause an overstimulation of the spasm-related throat nerves by adding this ingredient to the conventional lollipop recipe.
Alcoholic spray
Imagine getting drunk without even a drop of alcohol and then not suffering from the troublesome hangover that follows. This is the proposal of WA | HH Quantum Sensations, an alcoholic spray that promises to intoxicate consumers without intoxicating them, limiting the effects to just a few moments.
Vibrating tattoo
Patented by Nokia, the idea of vibrating tattoo is especially interesting for those who never hear their phones ringing. The technology involves a material applicable to the skin capable of reacting in the presence of magnetic fields, transmitting a discrete stimulus when in the presence of these fields. The tattoo may even vibrate differently, depending on the different ring tones assigned to the contacts saved in the phone.
Semen collecting robot
Designed by a Chinese laboratory, the infamous little robot above reproduces some movements that stimulate the male sex organ for later semen collection. But don't think about nonsense, as the machine is designed for use in fertilization clinics and semen banks.
Pan that stirs food alone
The strange pot above was developed by a Japanese dentist who - we suspect - was too lazy to stir whatever he led to the fire. Based on the laws of thermodynamics, the inventor created a container with several spirals inside that, in addition to causing the liquid to circulate when it begins to boil, also allow heat to be distributed more efficiently.
Popcorn Cannon
It will say that you never tossed a popcorn high to eat it without putting your hands in your mouth! Now imagine a machine that can shoot food straight at you with a simple voice command. This is The Popinator, a device developed by an American company that throws popcorn after hearing the magic word "pop".
