Diaper with a pocket, animation machine and more: 5 inventions of Michael Jackson, Walt Disney and other celebrities
Genius ideas that make life easier come not only from scientists, but also from people far from science. For example, Hollywood stars or musicians. Some of their inventions are very unexpected, and are still in use today.
What have Harry Connick, Jamie Lee Curtis and other celebrities patented? Read in the article by OBOZREVATEL.
1. Michael Jackson
The legendary pop singer, dancer, movie actor and songwriter Michael Jackson created a device that helped to take difficult poses to perform his Smooth Criminal hit. The artist and his team hovered on stage at a 45-degree angle. They seemed to "defy" gravity.
The trick was Jackson's invention: special heels that were inserted into a mounting assembly built into the stage. The celebrity patented this shoe in 1992.
2. Harry Connick
American actor, singer and jazz pianist Harry Connick is the author of an invention that was a lifesaver for musicians. When he was performing in the '90s, he was incredibly annoyed that the wind was constantly knocking notes off the lectern. This inspired the artist to create a device that projected the score onto the screen.
It saved Harry's nerves a lot. He would edit the score right at the concert and send it to the members of the orchestra.
3. Jamie Lee Curtis
American actress, writer and social activist Jamie Lee Curtis has a patent for an eco-friendly baby diaper with a waterproof wipe pocket. During an interview, the celebrity talked about her invention, "This diaper is called Dipe 'N Wipe. It helps you quickly do all the hygiene procedures with your baby without any distractions."
4. Hedy Lamarr
Austrian-American actress Hedy Lamarr is mathematically gifted. In 1942 she invented the communication spectrum extension and frequency hopping methods necessary for wireless communication in the pre-computer era. By the way, they are still used in mobile communications today.
5. Walt Disney
American animation artist, film director, actor, screenwriter, and producer Walt Disney is a true legend.
