Mind Boggling Inventions
The Victorian Era is acknowledged as a time in history where
creativity and innovation were heralded. This resulted in some mind boggling
inventions. Taking a closer look at some of the most popular Victorian
inventions we can easily spot the experimentation and ingenuity of the time.
Some of these inventions caught on, while others, like the examples listed
below, were left in the past forever.
The Rolling Bridge
The purpose of this Victorian invention was to create something
that was more adaptable than a standard bridge. However, this invention saw
very limited use and never caught on in the way that traditional bridges did.
It quickly became widely accepted that the whole notion of a rolling bridge was
a pretty bad idea.
Mechanical Horse
Brush
Unfortunately, it was more difficult to work this invention
than it is to perform the task it was designed to simplify. The arms of the
machine were designed to brush a horse automatically. It worked as long as the
horse stood still.
Spherical Velocipede
This invention is something that you really had to see to
believe. It is basically a transparent sphere with a rod that allowed the rider
who sat inside it a way to cycle around in style and out of the wind or rain.
