Life-changing Inventions That Were Created By Mistake by tlaret24(m): 5:33pm On Dec 05, 2013 |
Fireworks,Inventor: An unknown cook in China What he was trying to make: According to legend, the cook was simply experimenting in the kitchen. How it was created: A cook accidentally mixed together charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter - common kitchen items 2000 years ago. When the mixture was compressed in a bamboo tube (why the cook did that we have no idea), it exploded. CORN FLAKES;Inventor: The Kellogg brothers, John and Will What they were trying to make: A pot of boiled grain How it was created: The brothers accidentally left a pot of boiled grain on the stove for several days. The mixture turned moldy but the product that emerged was dry and thick. Through experimentation they eliminated the mold part and created corn flakes. INk-JET PRINTER Inventor: A Canon engineer How it was created: After resting his hot iron on his pen by accident, ink was ejected from the pens point a few moments later. This principle led to the creation of the inkjet printer. X-Rays Inventor: Wilhem Roentgen, an eccentric physicist What he was trying to make: He was interested in investigating the properties of cathodic ray tubes. How it was created: When shining light through the tubes he noted fluorescent papers in his lab were illuminated even though his machine had an opaque cover. www.businessinsider.com/these-10-inventions-were-made-by-mistake-2010-11/x-rays-15 4 Likes

I think that of X-RAY was originally by NIKOLA TESLA during his high frequency, high voltage experiments around the 1890s. Reotegen was one of his few friends like M.Twain. |

Freiburger: I think one of the greatest life-changing invention that originated from mistake if not the greatest is the what Adam and Eve invented in the garden of Eden.After God created Adam and Eve, HE told them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. How were they supposed to that that without making love to one another?? "The Forbidden Fruit" is not "sex" but "The Tree of [size=18pt]The Knowledge of Good and Evil"[/size] as clearly stated in The Bible. [size=18pt]Man was supposed to procreate. HE told them "Be fruitful and multiply" before HE ever said "Do not eat of this tree"[/size] [size=20pt]Adam would have still made love to his wife if they had not eaten the fruit (because God had already said to them "be fruitful and multiply" after HE created them) but they wouldn't have had that "sense of unclothedness and shame" they were supposed to do all they had to do in innocence and holiness and not with a sense of "shame or guilt." These negative feelings, being plagued by condemnation, is the torture God wanted to keep them from.[/size] 3 Likes |

Almost all inventions were made accidentally. They had no idea of starting out to make it initially but observed some things they later investigated. |
