Historical Chindogu: Car-Exhaust Oven 1930
This post on BoingBoing reminds me that everything has been created before. Our second post was about a similar contemporary product.
"MEALS can literally be cooked on the run through the use of the automatic cooker shown in the photo above. The cooker is mounted on the rear bumper of the motor tourist’s car and an extension from the exhaust pipe connected up with it, as shown in the insert. The cooker contains a steam pressure kettle which is heated by the hot exhaust gases. An hour’s drive is quite sufficient to thoroughly cook meats and vegetables. Total weight of the unit is so slight that running qualities of the car remain quite unaffected. Motor tours are much more pleasant when one is assured of a well-prepared meal at the end of the trip."

The Walking Bike
Last week Treehugger hugger brought us another different bike. This one tries to encourage walking by using wheels composed of shoes.

The Jumping Bike
Although it looks fun, I think that this device defeats a lot of the benefits of a bicycle.
size
speed
efficiency
coolness
Were not critica factors in this design.
