Hosted by James O'Loghlin, The New Inventors showcases the brightest minds from across Australia as they reveal the ingenious solutions to our biggest problems. Deciding the winner of these three inventions are: designer and inventor Sally Dominguez, agricultural scientist Chris Russell, and inventor and journalist Christine Kininmonth.Inventions featured on the program: CULLECTOR - by inventor Peter Cullin from QLDUnless you're a member of the Icebergs Winter Swimming Club, chances are you don't hop in the shower until it's really warmed up. But then who likes watching our most precious natural resource simply running down the drain? It's a question that's troubled the mind of many an Australian inventor.The Cullector is a simple, retrofitable unit, which collects that water before it reaches the shower, then mixes it back into the hot water as you shower. Could it be the end of wasting water in the shower? Judge Christine Kininmonth has concerns. The panel discussion hotted up - it went something like this. "My husband likes a hot shower better than me - not that he doesn't think I'm hot." But the double-entendres didn't end there, "If I want to have a shower after or even with my husband and we want to change the temperature, does there need to be any tweaking?" ULTIMATE EXPLOSION - by inventor David Haldenby and Graham Haldenby from VICPopeye eat your heart out...forget spinach - the Ultimate Explosion is here! Olive Oil would be proud.You may feel intimidated by men with bulging forearms pumping iron in the gym. But be assured, chances are they have tiny, weak little forearm muscles. The forearms are neglected in most people's exercise routines, but are essential to a lot of sports. It's time for James to get a workout in the studio, and fitness fanatic inventor David Haldenby is not going to let him off the hook easily.The Ultimate Explosion is a device for strengthening the forearm muscles. Within weeks it makes your forearms literally explode with muscles. CABLE-PROTECTOR - by inventor Steve Anderson from QLDTired of your roof acting like a potato peeler for your power cables? Cable-Protector has got your back - pinball wizard Steve Anderson's invention is a simple and sturdy cable harness that attaches to the edge of the roof. It keeps cables away from the roof and gutter edges, preventing damage to cables and protecting workers from electrocution. It also keeps power leads from falling to the ground |
