Some of them we use every day
On January 17, the day of childhood inventions is celebrated around the world. A lot of things that now do not seem to be unusual to us, the children were invented. But the thing is that they are not afraid to try new, experiment and often pay attention to imperceptible to adult problems.
In honor of the holiday, several inventions created by children were collected for you. Among them are developing from past centuries, and the achievements of modern schoolchildren.
Fruit iceFor no accident, this dessert adore children. After all, it was invented another child, and he knew exactly what the peers would like. True, for the first time, fruit ice he prepared randomly.
Once a 11-year-old Frank Epperson mixed in a glass of gas and water. Together with a spoon in a glass, he left the beverage on the porch all night. The temperature was then low, so the drink is frozen. In the morning, Frank heated a glass and pulled out of it delicious fruit ice. For a long time, he did not attach values to his invention and received a patent on him only in 1923.
Another favorite thing, the thing was invented at all adults. Batuta developed young George Nissen, but not for entertainment. He seriously engaged in gymnastics and dreamed of making his speeches more spectacular.
In the garage of parents George gathered the first sample of the trampoline, and then refined it for several years. Later he was united with another gymnast, together they began mass production of trampolines.

At first he tried to warm, winding the scarf around his head, but it was uncomfortable. Over time, Chester came up with fur headphones. The first sample helped her grandmother. Headphones and truth turned out to be quite warm, so it was later Chester patented them.
It turns out that the TVs also appeared thanks to children. Philo Farnsworth at school developed a vacuum tube, with which the image could transmit. Filo spent a few more years on refinement of the invention. To get a patent, he had to get involved with the Russian engineer Vladimir Zvirkin, who developed another transmitting device.
Children come up with new things not only for entertainment. Their inventions help to solve serious problems of humanity.
For example, Louis Brail completely blinded at five years after random injury. It was not easy to engage in a special school, because even there was not enough books with relief fonts. Louis still could not only become one of the best disciples, but also managed to develop a new, more comfortable embossed font for blind people who are now used worldwide.
Modern children also create useful inventions. Matvey Guzi from nine years goes to a circle of young technicians, where learns to collect different devices. At 11 years old on the basis of parking sensors, he developed a cane for blind people.
