Not an "invention", per se, but a diagram. This was drawn when I was 8 years old and in the third grade. I *loved* drawing diagrams and schematics of all kinds.
This is a picture of a bike I actually had; I remember being obsessed with the hand brakes and was very careful when drawing this to show them and the wires that connected to them. However, I apparently managed to draw the chain floating in mid-air and not actually connecting to the pedals.
We went to the current Aardman Animation exhibition at the weekend in the M Shed, Bristol. They've got lots of the actual sets on display enclosed in plastic cubes - so I couldn't resist taking a few!
Fourth-grade students displayed their engineering skills during the annual Westminster Invention Convention held on Feb. 21 in the Lower School gym. The event was part of National Engineer’s Week.
Westminster has hosted the Invention Convention for more than 16 years, with fourth-grade teacher Kathy Buurma having organized each event. After learning about famous inventors, the students are tasked with determining a problem for which they would like to find a solution. The students work on the invention in class, and parents are invited to attend class to assist with construction. Four adults outside of the student’s immediate family test each invention before it is submitted for judging. The judges consider the reviews of the testers and the marketing of the invention in addition to the invention itself. Inventions this year include an extreme laptop case, a cat bed and breakfast and a lighted sweater for dogs.

This is a telephone cord that automatically rolls back when not stretched.
Fourth-grade inventors are knee-deep in Invention Convention preparations. A recent student-parent workday brought inventions several steps closer to finalization. Here is a sneak peek of the work that is going into these inventions. They will be on display at the Invention Convention on Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013.

Besides my camera and the internet and Flickr the microwave has to be one of my favourite inventions.
Has anyone else been having trouble uploading to Flickr this evening??
I intended to catch up on comments today but ended up having to go out all day, hope tomorrow is quiet and I will get to see all your great uploads.

- This photo was taken on April 5, 2016 right next to Algonquin College, Ottawa
- The design theme relates to the design themes shown in the very first chapter of the book "The Invention of Writing"
- Everyone knows what the red hand or the green walking man at the traffic lights means: it is either stop or go
- Just like we saw the pictures of cave paintings in the first chapter, you can see similarities. With easy symbols we still communicate to give out warnings to other people or to lead them in the right direction
An archive picture of brothers Edward and Andy Slice, inventors of Sliced Bread.
Before this product came along, people would often have conversations that tapered off, as they struggled to finish the sentence "why, that's the best thing since...er...um".
Now, of course, we take Sliced Bread in our stride, but as we can see here, it wasn't all plain sailing.
The brothers are looking at the first prototype - it seems they have realised something is wrong with the product, but haven't yet quite worked out what.

A baby bed where the bottom can be tilted upwards to facilitate the baby's breathing when he/she has a cold.
Or, alternatively, a mattress where one end is higher than the other, to put under the regular mattress.
