Inventions that changed the world

Can you imagine yourself as an inventor? You might think that you need to know a lot about science to become one, but this isn't always true. The most important thing is a new idea, and ideas come to all kinds of people in many different situations.

Velcro

It was 1948. George de Mestral returned from a walk with his dog. He found out they were both covered in sticky balls from plants. George noticed how they caught hold of his clothes, and an idea for a new material was born! Today, Velcro is used on clothes and bags to hold two pieces together.

The Windscreen Wiper

In 1903 Mary Anderson was on her way to New York by car. She watched the driver getting out of their car many times to brush snow from the windscreen. It was then that Mary came up with the idea of using a long piece of rubber to clean the glass. In the beginning, it was moved by hand from inside. Now the wipers are powered by electricity.

The Wind-Up Radio

In 1991, Trevor Bayliss saw a TV programme about Africa. It was said that if more people listened to the radio, advice on disease could be broadcast. As there is problem with electricity in Africa and batteries are expensive, Bayliss had an idea for a new type of radio. In order to produce enough power to make it work, you have to turn a handle a number of times. His wind-up radio is now given to many people in poorer countries. It is also bought by eco-friendly people who do not like batteries because they damage the Earth.
