Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla are famous inventors, whose ideas changed the world. They, and others, transformed society and technology into what we are accustomed to today. However, there have been inventors throughout history whose creations never saw the light of day or became mainstream. Some of their inventions were actually pretty genius, even if they didn’t make it big.
These 26 inventions, found by this Reddit user, are pretty amazing, even if I’ve never heard of most of these before.

3.) Flotation devices made from bike tires
4.) A steam-powered automobile from 1845
5.) An amphibious bicycle, used on land and in water
6.) An all-terrain vehicle
7.) A baby stroller equipped with a radio to keep a baby occupied
8.) Wooden bathing suits (to aid swimming)
9.) An ice sailboat to be used during a hypothetical "little ice age"
10.) This hat that is also a radio
11.) A windmill designed to drain marshy wetlands
