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."

Foodogu

These next three are brought to you by Dr. John Marshall (University of Michigan School of Art & Design Professor) via treehugger.

The Handpresso

A portable espresso machine, powered by a hand pump. My fear with owning one of these is, when leaving for a bike ride, that I would confuse it with my pump. When I get a flat I won't be able to get back home. But at least I could enjoy some good coffe while I wait for someone to pick me up.

Personally I think this item can be a little bit too not unuseless to be chindogu. Just check out these youtube videos.
