Unnecessary Inventions
After the initial feedback for my unnecessary inventions design, I felt I misunderstood the prompt of the challenge. All three of my inventions were not practical (not stupid enough). First, I tried to stick with my original plan of prototyping adjustable weight plates. But as the prototype was getting built, I wanted more innovative but also unnecessary ideas so I changed my product.
As I was thinking about a new design, I thought it would be hilarious to make a tool for people who cross their legs all the time, like me. It is very annoying every time when one of the legs falls while crossing my legs. The idea was to wear a gear on the shin which goes all the way up to the knee and even longer. Once I adjust the length of the laces to my leg, the gear prevents the other leg (which is on top of the leg holding the ground) from falling off.
The further plan for my prototype will include the taping around the gear to make it sustain the weight of the leg better, and adding the velcro on each adjustable laces to attach the gear more stable.
