The Stollwerck Chocolate Company in Germany turned this strange dream into a short-lived reality. They designed phonographs that were powered by a small clock motor and could play records made of chocolate.
In a big disappointment for chocolate lovers, the invention failed because the phonographs were too fragile, had noisy motors and mediocre sound quality.

Take a standard pogo stick and add a propeller, throttle and helicopter engine. The copter's blades spin around dangerously close to your head, sending you high into the air where you "float like you're on a cloud" before crashing back down to earth — hopefully, with your head still attached.

One of the most depressing devices in history, this "apparatus for simulating a high-five" is a mechanical arm that pivots when struck by a user. It even includes a sound-generating system so that the high-five sounds real.
The question remains — will anyone that lonely really find this machine comforting, or will it drive them to more despair?

This "amusement apparatus" has elongated arms that rotate when the user moves the hand crank. As the user rotates it their buttocks are paddled by flexible shoes located on the arms. Depending on how strong and fast you are, you can kick to your ass's content. A very strange form of torture!

Venetian-style glasses made a surprise comeback with rapper Kanye West, who recently featured these "rapper white blinds" in his music video for Stronger. A new twist on this old invention, Kanye's glasses have thick lines across the entire surface of the glasses, blocking one¿s view significantly.
Despite the inconvenience, many Kanye West fans have donned these shades for photos posted on the rapper's website. No one in the pictures can be seen walking, driving, doing anything even remotely practical or retaining their sense of dignity.

Jacob Lowe patented the fluoroscope in 1927 and over 10,000 of the devices were soon found in shoe stores across the US and Europe. The "revolutionary" x-ray machine was, unfortunately, a serious health hazard.
Eventually reports of skin burns and bone stunting emerged. One woman who modelled the invention had such serious radiation burns that her leg was amputated. The machine was found to have such a high level of radiation that it was destroyed .

The pigeons were placed inside missiles and connected to various electronics, along with a lens that projected the target onto a screen inside. The missile was steered by the pigeon pecking at the target on the screen.
The US military granted Skinner $US25,000 in funding and the pigeons performed well in his tests. However his idea was considered too weird and the project was cancelled in 1944. It was revived by the Navy in 1948, then cancelled again in 1953.

An invention seemingly designed for pure embarrassment, the system detects a fall via sensors, sending gas into balloon-like pockets and inflating your underwear. Acceleration, distance and rotation are measured to determine whether activation is required — so no dance classes with these undies on!

Earlier flying cars were impractical — the wings had to be attached to the car while in flight, and then removed and transported in "trailer fashion" once on land. However the Aerocar's wings were designed to fold across the car's back, solving this issue. Despite the progress made, the Aerocar remained uneconomical and unsuitable for mass production.

Battery-powered battery charger (1993) ... consumers were left scratching their heads after an inventor patented a simple way of recharging mobile phone batteries — with more batteries.
In 2006 Motorola reinvented the battery powered battery charger and gave the idea slightly more credibility with a charger that at least plugged into the wall. The P970 can be charged and then taken on the road as a second battery for gadgets with a USB input .
