Right now in their garages and secret bunkers, and on episodes of Dragon’s Den, there are countless eccentric inventors each with the ‘next big idea’. While some of these entrepreneurial individuals have come up with some amazing inventions, others are a little too bizarre for most tastes (and some are equally as amazing and bizarre). Here we will look at the top ten bizarre inventions, testaments to the ingenuity (and sometimes insanity) of the human race.
10. The Bow-Lingual
The bow-lingual is a cleverly named (?) device that can translate kanine barks and whimpers into phrases. It does this by assessing the pitch of the bark to calculate mood, and then selecting a phrase (by random) that fits this mood. So if it’s an assertive bark it might be ‘I’m feeling dominant’, or if it’s a whimper it might be ‘I feel low’. Brilliantly useless but no doubt highly amusing.

9. PawSense
While one of the top 10 most bizarre inventions of all time aims to help dogs to communicate, cats have been trying to communicate with us for years… and it’s time to put a stop to it. PawSense is a piece of software that runs in the background and alerts you with the message ‘Cat-Like Typing Detected’ should you puss walk across the keyboard. The applications are countless…

8. Project Grizzly
Continuing an animal theme our top 10 most bizarre inventions of all time is an invention created not for bears, but against them. Project Grizzly is the name of a suit created by Troy Hurtubise after he was attacked by a bear and swore to never let it happen again (worst superhero origin ever). The suit can withstand crushing power and impacts but unfortunately is very restrictive in terms of movement.

7. Burglar Alarm/Flamethrower
A combination many of us would likely approve of on our cars… Inventors Charl Fourie and Michelle Wong attached a flamethrower to their car alarm along with a detection circuit as a very convincing deterrent for thieves.

6. Anti-Rape Dress/Vending Machine Disguise
Certainly admirable for its inventiveness if a little suspect in terms of its practicality this dress designed by a Japanese dress maker is designed to allow Japanese women to disguise themselves as vending machines to hide from attackers. Unfortunately it blows in the wind and you can still see the feet… Still though you’ve got to admire them for trying.

5. Manhole Bags
A similar entry on the top 10 most bizarre inventions list is the ‘manhole bag’. Essentially this is a purse that hides your things from muggers by looking like a manhole when lying on the floor…

4. Lap Pillow
Something a little more light hearted for this next entry on the top 10 most bizarre inventions is the lap pillow. Also from Japan, it looks and feels like lying on a woman’s lap which… reassuring??

3. The Sleep Helmet
No surprise that one of the top ten most bizarre inventions should be designed to make commuting easier. This helmet suctions to the window behind you so you can sleep without your head lolling forward, and advertises your stop to helpful passengers so you can be woken up when you arrive.

2. Personal Hovercraft
It’s on the top ten most bizarre inventions list, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t want one. This thing can fly at 10 feet in the air at 50 miles per hour.

1. Buggy Rollin
Buggy Rollin is the invention that made ‘Rollerman’. Essentially it’s an entire suit covered in wheels that allows him to skate with his entire body. Amazing to watch and able to travel at high speeds, this thing is bizarre yes, but also undoubtedly genius making it number one in the top 10 bizarre inventions of all time.

The lap pillow is kind of disturbing. This is a great list of top ten things that are bizzare though. I have never seen any of them and do not think I will ever purchase any either. All too weird for me.
Oh God, top 10 most bizarre inventions are very funny.
What’s with the bow-lingual, btw? I wonder who thought about inventing it. That man/woman was very curious, I suppose. Top 10 most bizarre inventions show what stage can the human imagination reach.
That burglar flamethrower is the greatest of top 10 most bizarre inventions. I’d get one. BRB, going to check ebay. I hope I can find that there. Other things from top 10 most bizarre inventions would be welcome too.
I have never heard of any of these before. The flamethrower seems kind of extreme for someone breaking into your car. But then again they probably deserve it. This is a great list of top tens for bizarre things to buy. Can not see me having any of them though.
How much does that Hovercraft cost? It might be the most interesting of top 10 most bizarre inventions. I’d buy one if it wasn’t too expensive. Buggy rolling also looks cool, but I guess you need to be fit.
The Bow lingual is such a weird device. I could not imagine using it on my dog. I do not think that it would be able to translate very well. I find it a very odd invention. Obviously someone had too much time on their hands.
I wasn’t expecting to find so many odd inventions. Glad I came across top 10 most bizarre inventions, I guess. That hovercraft seems so much fun. But sleep helmet, lap pillow, manhole bags, wtf? What’s up with these?
Project grizzly is a weird invention. Ok so you were attacked by a bear. Why do you not just stay away from bears then? Are you really going to have this suit on all the time so you do not get attacked? Probably not. Sort of a silly invention if you ask me.
Top 10 most bizarre inventions are very strange. Some are funny. Others make you think about the plan of their creators. Let’s take the lap pillow, for instance. Why the hell would yo invent something like that? 😀
Top 10 most bizarre inventions should make our day better. I’m sure that hovercrafting is an interesting experience. I would try it. I would also try that burglar alarm, for instance. Just for the fun of it. I would mount a video camera in the car, as well. For having fun later. 😀
Why would you want a manhole bag? Or something called grizzly project? Indeed, these are top 10 most bizarre inventions I have met. I am sure I will not buy any of those. So it is good that I found out about them on time.
This post is quite funny. I wouldn’t have expected some things on this top 10 most bizarre inventions list to exist. Looks like we have lots of crazy inventors around us. Which is a fun fact.
PS: anti-rape dress? WTF?
Hmm, this is a good idea for a present. If you want to buy a crazy gift for someone, read the post about top 10 most bizarre inventions. These are some interesting ideas. I should buy a manhole bag for a friend of mine. She’s very trendy and her birthday comes next week. Hmm. (:
Seriously who is going to buy these products? I mean I would be embarrassed to say I own any of them. they all look really retarded to me. I am sorry if you like any of them or invented them but I am just trying to be honest with you.
That manhole bag has me confused. I mean I pack my purse full of things so there is no way it would lay flat. So people would know that it is a bag and not an actual manhole. I do not buy it for one bit.
The lap pillows are just disturbing to me. I do not understand why you would feel the need to have one. Just get a pillow for petes sake. It is freaky if you have bought one.
These are all really weird inventions. I can not see myself buying any of them. The anti rape dress does not even look real. You might as well put a sign on you that says I am right here.
This top 10 most bizarre inventions is indeed bizarre.
I would like a lap pillow. I think I would sleep better on a pillow like that. It deserves his place in top 10 most bizarre inventions. But how could anybody think about this?
These are indeed some top 10 most bizarre inventions. The bow-lingual really exists? If it does, I should absolutely buy one. I am always in trouble when my dog begins to bark because I don’t know what it wants. Anyway, this is probably the most bizarre from these top 10 most bizarre inventions.
I don’t think these top 10 most bizarre inventions really exist. Maybe the manhole bags exist, or lap pillows. They are easy to be made. But the bow-lingual or the pawsense? These two top 10 most bizarre inventions are not so realistic.
Vending machine disguise is probably the funniest from these top 10 most bizarre inventions. Why would anyone like to disguise in a machine? It really made me laugh. I would definitely buy one of these, just for fun. It should be in the first place on this top 10 most bizarre inventions list.
Vending machine disguise is indeed the funniest from these top 10 most bizarre inventions. I would like to have one of these. But it is a little bit weird though. I too don’t know why, from all these top 10 most bizarre inventions, anyone would like to buy this one. I too guess that it is just for fun.
Some of these top 10 most bizarre inventions are helpful too. For example the Bow-lingual. Who would not like one of these? I think it would really help me with my dog. It is one of the top 10 most bizarre inventions I would like to try
From all these top 10 most bizarre inventions I would like that flamethrower burglar alarm. Hahaha, how I would like to see those burglars burned. It is a little bit creepy. But I do found this invention one of the top 10 most bizarre inventions. I would really like to have one of these.
Lap pillow is indeed one of the top 10 most bizarre inventions. I think I would like to have one. Or at least try one. I guess it is comfortable. Only seeing it makes me think that it deserves to be among these top 10 most bizarre inventions.
The sleep helmet is very helpful. Hahaha, that photo is so funny. This is truly one of the top 10 most bizarre inventions.
I really need one of these helmets. I always tend to fall asleep in the subway.
I would like a personal hovercraft. It isn’t necessary one of the top 10 most bizarre inventions. A hovercraft isn’t so weird. It would be very helpful thought. And I think I would have a lot of fun driving it.
