New Inventions and Inventors with the Best Invention Patents

Step aside Segway, there's a new mobility gadget in town. The Trikke functions using three wheels as opposed to two wheels like the majority of scooters available today, setting it apart from the rest. The Trikke takes a little getting used to, but once you feel comfortable on it, you can up the pace, and start making sharper turns, converting the gadget into a fun and imaginative way to get around. While its maximum speed is a modest 17mph, the device will usually travel at an average of 12mph, relying entirely on electric power with zero emissions. The Trikke can operate for 24 miles per charge so don't go planning any long journeys without packing the charger first. The battery plugs directly into the wall, and is easily...

Here's an invention aimed at those with envious bank account balances. We've seen the likes of supercars, bikes and boats but we've never before included a submarine. If you would like to avoid the busy streets or have a stretch of water completely to yourself what better way than with a submarine. The submarine is powered by a rechargeable battery pack which turns a series of electric motors, removing the necessity for fuel. The submarine will tow the vehicle though the water using a surface vessel and a generic propulsion system. This innovative tow system aims to offers the power of an internal combustion engine to an undwerwater vessel. This will allow the submarine to travel up to speeds of 22 knots, which equates to 25mph...

This looks like someone has amputated Batman's arm and stuffed an i-Phone inside, but it is actually the Armstar BodyGuard 9XI-HD01, a harmless version of Batman's weapon arm. The arm is made of cotton, Kevlar, as well as Nomax, a flame resistant fiber. It comes with an indentation to allow an iPhone to slot in neatly, and also charges the phone whilst it's sitting in there. Pretty neat. The Bodyguard also comes with a 720p video camera, flashlight and a 300,000-volt stun gun for firing at any unwelcome intruders, making you feel a little more like a superhero. It can also charge other electronic devices through its Li-Ion battery pack. The invention is not meant to be used in superhero situations, but was an idea thought up by...

The invention of the car can be traced back as far as 1769, when one Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot devised the very first concept - a complex, three wheeled steam engine. The idea never really took off, as it could not compete with horse powered transportation which were easier to handle, faster, less expensive and more commercially viable. Horses were at the heart of the transport industry, with every single business relying on horses to pull their vehicles. At that moment, every specification correlated into horse terms. The steam train was named the iron horse, the bicycle was named the poor man's horse and the trolley car was named the horseless carriage. Horsepower was used to define performance, and is still commonplace to this day....

Taking your pet for a walk should be an enjoyable experience, not one which leaves your arms aching after your dog constantly running too far away, reaching the end of the dog lead. Some dogs simply will keep trying to pull themselves away from the lead, and depending on the size of the dog, this can be quite strainful on your arms. There now exists a device called the Tug-Preventing Dog Trainer which looks to combat these dog walking issues. For $39.95, the ultrasonic device is designed to help train your dog when our for walks. The contraption is places between the collar and leash, and whenever the device senses a tug, it will emit an ultrasonic noise which only your dog will be able to hear, thus forcing it to realise that...

The invention of the engine has played a major role in the environment we live in today - surrounded by transport and industries all reliant on an engine of some description. The engine we see today is a progression of the steam engine, using the same principles, but applied in a more developed manner in the modern world. Every single engine works the same way - a conversion of burning fuel into kinetic energy. It's near enough impossible to imagine a world without the engine, so let's look at the history of the engine and how it has come to the forefront of our industrialized world. The first incarnations of the steam engine were wood-powered, before coal was discovered as a superior replacement, allowing the invention of the...

Some of us prefer a conventional computer keyboard, whereas a select few of the modern age technology enthusiasts are now opting for touch screen devices. Well, for those who prefer touch screen, look away now, otherwise keep reading as this may be of interest to you. CompuExpert have revealed their latest product, a keyboard which holds an iPhone and transforms it from a touch screen display into a more conventional QWERTY style set-up. Named Wow-Keys, the device was exclusively designed to favour the iPhone, which will also act as both a docking device for synchronisation and charging capabilities. Omnio technologies have developed the WOW-Keys product which performs as a nice little multi purpose machine. The iPhone is an...

Our recent article on the UNO motorbike caused a stir, attracting lots of attention and being our most commented on gadget to date. Many debated if the bike was genuine, but let's put this discussion to bed and begin a new debate. Let's look at the latest installment from the UNO team, aptly named the UNO III Streetbike. This bike looks incredible, and will surely help in impressing your friends, once you've gotten used to the controls. The UNO III Streetbike is not marketed towards kids, not exlusively down to the steep £8,500, but due to the fact that it does look genuinely quite dangerous. What makes this bike...

Everyone loves robots. Not everyone loves spiders. This might leave you uncertain over this product, which comes courtesy of the University of Bielefeld's Department of Biological Cybernetics. Named HECTOR, (obviously an acronym for HExapod Cognitive auTonmously Operating Robot), this spider-like robot measures in at approximately one meter in length and is 12 kilograms in weight. 13 percent of this weight belongs to the exoskeleton, with joints on its legs allowing the robot to move somewhat creepily like a spider. I'm not sure why the University chose to base the robot on an arachnid that tends to creep out the majority of society. Maybe exactly that, to creep people out. Spiders, personally, make my skin crawl, and if I were...

Isaac Newton is considered to be one of the greatest minds of all time. His achievements spanned across many fields including physics, optics, chemistry, mathematics and philosophy. His findings contributed towards the laws of calculus, motion, gravitational theory and theories of colour – all theories which are used extensively in the modern world. Newton was born on January 4th, 1643, in...

Louis Pasteur was born on 27 December 1822 in Dole in the Jura region of France. His father was a tanner. In 1847, he earned a doctorate from the École Normale in Paris. After several years research and teaching in Dijon and Strasbourg, in 1854, Pasteur was appointed professor of chemistry at the University of Lille. Part of the remit of the faculty of sciences was to find solutions to the...
