Failed Inventions

There have been many inventions over the years that have not been popularized. The Amphibious car, and the Flying car are just couple of examples of many inventions that never came to be. It is not that these inventions didn't work, they just werent accepted by society.

The Amphibious car is a car that was made to drive in water. It looks like a car, with a four cylinder engine, fuel pump, and everything. The main difference is that it has a protective waterproff flooring that covers all of the electrical equipment. The Flying car is just that, a flying car. It has detatchible wings and a detachable propellar. It was the first car made that placed the engine in the back of the car, similar to the Voltswaggon Beetle. It could fly up to 10,000 ft above the ground!

The Amphibius and Flying cars were made so that commuters could alleviate traffic congestion on major road ways. Imagine how fast you could get to where you needed to be by flying over cars, or avoiding the roadways by driving through lakes and rivers. These inventions are not out of the question, they are just put on hold until society can accept them and when engineers and scientists can make them safer.
