Inventors are some of the most creative people. They are always coming up with new and brilliant ideas while striving to make the world a better place. Although, it’s safe to say that some of their ideas are more brilliant than others. The 55 inventions included on this list definitely fall into the “need some work still” category.

However, we assure you, they are indeed real. Although, for these inventions, whether that is a good thing or a bad thing still remains up for debate.
