This document discusses several unconventional product ideas from different countries. It presents the concepts of sticking a tablet PC to a bag to identify the owner, using rope and wire to secure items, and carrying rubber sheets to protect shoes from flooding. The document examines ideas from a company project team exploring unusual inventions from around the world.
1) The author connected paper and adhesive tape to their room light to create a partial chandelier lamp and customize the lighting in their room. This has been used for years.
2) To prevent water drops from their air conditioner from leaking on a neighbor's clothes, the author combined a funnel and trough and connected it to the air conditioner, keeping the neighbor happy.
3) Unconventional items like a rubber and toothbrush or a clothespin and Chinese fans are combined and connected for creative purposes like cleaning or making art, demonstrating ways to save effort.

The document proposes packaging vitamins, supplements, and breakfast foods in convenient, tidy, and fun ways. It suggests placing different breakfast toppings like jam and honey on a lazy Susan turntable for easy access. It also proposes packaging vitamins and supplements in forms inspired by cosmetics like lip gloss and mascara to make them more portable and enjoyable for travel or daily use. The ideas aim to make healthy, convenient and tidy options for breakfast and supplements.
The document describes a challenge to combine any two items to create something with its own purpose. Some of the solutions presented include turning an upside down football helmet on top of a lampshade into an elevated flower pot, strapping shoes to the back end of a lacrosse stick head to create snowshoes, and laying a mattress on top of attached cardboard boxes to form a bed frame with storage. Another solution presented is placing marshmallows on the end of a steel rake with a rubber handle to mass-produce toast marshmallows over a fire pit.
The document describes three unusual inventions: 1) An indoor solar cooker that uses LED lights to cook food on cloudy days. 2) A power drill attachment that quickly scrapes burnt toast. 3) Pantone colors that enhance the flavor of fast food and soda.
Creativity is a skill that can be learned and improved upon. While there is no single definition, creativity generally involves coming up with new and useful ideas, seeing existing situations in a new way, and making connections between seemingly unrelated fields. Effective ways to boost creativity include exposing yourself to new experiences, embracing failure, and giving yourself time to let ideas incubate without forcing them.

This document provides instructions for a group game that can be played using old oven mitts and loofahs. Players form a circle and take turns slapping the loofah to the center player and around the circle. Anyone who misses is out of the game. The last player remaining is the winner. After the game, the document suggests having a party to celebrate.
I conducted a workshop on the Japanese art of "unuseless inventions" - known as Chindogu. We had a great time, and stay tuned for the blog post and some really cool Chindogus. Meanwhile, here's the deck from my workshop.

This document describes several novelty products including a night vision mosquito swatter that is an electrified tennis racket, a suit for busy mothers, a portable work table bag, a gum-holder and sheet music page turner for musicians, an umbrella called a "Mister Umbrella" for extra shade, a suction cup purse called a "Surse", a cell phone lander, and banana peel fiber socks for diabetes patients. Links are provided for some products.
The Chindogu Shop offers innovative products created by designers and innovators. It has both an online platform and physical shops located in trendy cities like Berlin, San Francisco, and Tokyo. The site features various unique products like a watering fork that cleans itself, a brush finder that bounces when dropped, and a toilet protection system with extra functionality for throwing up. It also allows users to create and play with new product ideas using their Chindogu Creator & Game tool.
This document discusses several unconventional invention ideas from different countries, including sticking a tablet PC to a bag to identify the owner and bringing rubber sheets to protect shoes from flooding. It acknowledges that none of the ideas may be the best but shares a few examples from a company's project exploring novel concepts.
The document is a presentation by Team Recombinator that introduces several chindogu inventions, including the Vacelo vacuum cleaner that makes music instead of noise, a bicycle blender that mixes smoothies as you cycle, BoardSteps which is a 2-in-1 ironing board and stepladder, and a Chent chair and blanket tent for indoor camping. The presentation provides descriptions and illustrations of these chindogu inventions.
The document describes three unusual inventions: a balloon umbrella that is hands-free, a hair comb integrated into a cab so one can comb their hair while wearing the cab, and a hands-free cigarette ashtray. The inventions appear to promote unusual solutions to common problems in an effort to spark creativity.
This document presents two unusual inventions - a storage box made of photos where photos can be stored and viewed, and an edible book with a cookie cover and rice or sugar paper pages that can literally be consumed. It encourages the reader to enjoy these strange but fun creations.
The document discusses the concept of "chindogu", which are unusual tools created in Japan that solve very specific problems but are generally impractical or cause more problems than they solve. Some examples of chindogu ideas described include a baby sweeper/duster, butter stick, and tissue hat. The document also lists tenants of chindogu and presents various team ideas for combining two objects into new chindogu inventions, with the winning idea being a light bulb pencil.
This document describes several hypothetical combination products proposed as part of a challenge, including a shoe that can swap out its top portion, a 2-in-1 water clock that tells time and measures water, smart curtains with light sensors that close automatically at dusk, a toothbrush with a built-in toothpaste dispenser, a lollipop that measures a child's temperature, a portable and stretchy swimming pool, a waterproof hairbrush for the shower, and turning a paper bag into a poster board.
Chindogu is a Japanese term for eccentric inventions that combine everyday objects in unusual ways to solve trivial problems. Some examples include a shopping cart that attaches to the body to avoid carrying bags, a flyswatter that attaches to the head to keep flies away, and a brush attached to a shoe to clean hard to reach places. The article discusses creative inventions from Germany, Australia and France that combine objects in unusual ways.

Challenge was to combine two everyday things to make a third - emphasis on humour and 'unuselessness' - it might work, but it would be too much trouble to do it.

The document contains ideas for various life hacks and inventions, including:
1. Attaching a tube and funnel to a cooker to use steam for clothes steaming or face cleaning.
2. Adding a torch to a broom to help clean dark corners and areas.
3. Incorporating sharp heels into a shawl that can be spun like a nunchuck for self-defense.
4. Attaching a laser pointer to a cat's collar to provide exercise and play by having the cat chase the moving light.
This document lists 5 unconventional combinations of everyday items that could have alternative uses. The combinations are: 1) An iron box and bowl of Maggi noodles for cooking, especially in hostels. 2) Using a pen as a light source in the dark. 3) An eraser attached to a fan to spread the eraser shavings. 4) Using a sock as part of a makeshift cradle toy. 5) Wearing socks on the legs of a chair.
Chindogu are Japanese inventions that seem like they solve a problem, but in reality cause more problems or embarrassment than they are worth. While they address an issue, using one would create so many new issues that they have no real utility. They are sometimes called "unuseless" because they do technically address an initial need, but are not genuinely useful due to the problems they introduce.
