InventFail.com is not just an archive of strange inventions, but a research project that examines technological failures as an important part of progress.
Our Philosophy
We believe that the history of technology isn't made only of successes. Behind every brilliant invention lie dozens of failed attempts, and these often contain the most valuable lessons.
What We Do
- Collect and catalog curious, unsuccessful or ahead-of-their-time inventions
- Analyze the reasons for their failure from both technical and marketing perspectives
- Explore which of these ideas could be revived with modern technology
- Create educational content at the intersection of history, technology and entrepreneurship
Who This Project Is For
Our archive will be valuable for:
- Inventors and entrepreneurs - as a collection of anti-examples
- Technology historians - as an alternative perspective on progress
- Designers and engineers - as a source of inspiration
- Anyone interested in unusual technologies and their history
Project Evolution
InventFail.com began as a personal collection of strange inventions but quickly grew into a full-fledged research project. Today we collaborate with technology museums, historians and engineers to make our archive as accurate and useful as possible.
