17 Ingenious Inventions You Likely Never Knew Could Exist

It will come as a surprise to many, but scientists say that most inventions happen by accident when no one expects them. For example, someone can drop something on the floor, break it, then think of a revolutionary method to prevent these types of accidents. This means that any one of us can invent something new if we keep our minds engaged.

Bright Side would love to share these 17 inventions and first-time creations that can be very useful in everyday life.
