Children inventors
Many children are very lively imagination. Of course, it is easy to send your mind on a journey beyond the four walls, if you are not bound adults, occupying all the free time and thoughts. But it seems that some children are born with a certain mindset that goes beyond imagination and has an amazing combination of genius and determination, the result of which is a special creative thinking. These are the guys, knowing the nature and intuitively by applying the basic laws of physics, even before the age of 20, offered the world a number of wonderful inventions, without which it is difficult to imagine our daily lives. Below all the usual things with the passage of time has proven its usefulness, are the embodiment of ideas of children and adolescents.

Calculator In 1642, French wunderkind Blaise Pascal at the age of 18 years has created the first calculating machine. An ingenious invention, capable of performing all four basic arithmetic operations without the use of human intelligence, has been developed for the father of Blaise, who was a tax collector. Machine called Pascaline was founded on the toothed gears and could directly subtract two numbers and multiply and divide by repetition. Blaise made from 20 to 50 devices, but no they are not interested, only 300 years later, the calculator gained fame. In 1968 the programming language PASCAL was named after the genius inventor.

Braille Louis Braille, born in the city Coupure, France, lost his eyesight in the age of three. Visiting the national Institute for blind children in Paris, he and his classmates were eager to obtain books which would be easier to read than the existing publication in the usual format. Experimenting with different ways of reading using touch, Louis undertook to expand tactile military code created to read messages on the field of battle in the dark. In 1824, at the age of 15, he invented Braille, which was published in 1829. Second, revised edition was published in 1837 and is believed to be the first digital (binary) method of writing.

Warm earmuffs Very surprising that the invention warm headphones took so much time, but they appeared only in the late 19th century, when they came up with a 15-year-old Chester Greenwood. He was tired while skating all the time cold ears, and boy did the wire clamp and asked his mother to sheathe fur its ends. Later Chester has improved the model, and in 1870 he received a patent. The author seriously cashed in on his invention, keeping the ears of the American soldiers warm during the First World war, but he didn't stop there, creating 100 other devices.

Popsicles In 1905, 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson left a mixture of powdered milk and water with a stick for stirring in a Cup on the porch. After a night of frost, the boy awoke to find the frozen sweetness. He didn't stop there, and eventually had his own children enjoyed fruit ice. In 1923, Frank received a patent and sold his invention.

TV Although the creation of television is credited with a number of inventors, perhaps the most significant contribution made 15-year-old Philo T. Farnsworth. In 1921, the teenager had sketches, diagrams and notes to generate the electronic TeleSystems. In 1922, he showed his chemistry teacher in high school, plans for the development of the image dissector that can radically change TV, which in those days was known to very few people. By 21, he first transferred the electronic image and held a public demonstration of a working TV. By the time of his death in 1971, a regular TV would hold about 100 pieces, originally patented by Farnsworth.

Water skiing In 1922, an enterprising 18-year-old lover water sports named Ralph Samuelson got the idea of water skiing on the river Pepin in Minnesota, USA. After trying wooden staves and conventional skis, in the end, Ralph has developed its design and hardware from the skin. In addition, Samuelson made the first ski jump using a greased incline. The next 15 years he spent entertaining shows and advertised their sports, and one day he even broke up a seaplane to a speed of 130 km/h. unfortunately, he never tried to patent his invention.

Superman Two 18-year-old boy, who adored comic books and science fiction, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, began making cartoons and homemade journals for fans of comic books back in high school. One of their inventions was dressed in a trench coat hero named Superman, which appeared in 1933 in a small story "the Kingdom of the Superman." Developing a character, authors have for many years faced with the lack of interest, until in 1938, National Allied Publications (the progenitor of DC Comics) has been chosen as the main character with an illustration on the cover for their edition of Action Comics No. 1. In 1939, Siegel and Shuster launched a joint series of Superman comics. Eventually they sold the rights to National Allied Publications, without having received a significant reward for their offspring.

The trampoline In 1930, 16-year-old gymnast George Nissen, inspired by the networks of the rooms under the circus dome, hastily assembled in a parent garage rectangular steel frame and fitted it with sails, aiming to create an elastic version of the same network. He called the design of the jumping device. Over the years, George was also complicated by the modified invention, and in 1937 he patented it under the brand name "Trampoline". Throughout his long life the author has spent touting as his invention and the sport. In 2000 trampolining was introduced to the Olympic roster, and in 2008 George Nissen had the honor of testing the equipment before the start of the Olympic games. He died in 2010 at the age of 96 years.
