Welcome to our list of the most satisfying inventions in the world! From everyday gadgets that make our lives easier to groundbreaking technological advancements, we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 inventions that have brought joy and convenience to people all over the globe.
From the wheel to the smartphone, these inventions have revolutionized the way we live and work. So sit back, relax, and discover which inventions made the cut as the most satisfying of all time.
1. Formech Vacuum forming machine
This may be the single most satisfying way to mold plastic we’ve ever seen. This 1 Formech vacuum forming machine, designed by a company called Formech, uses a heat and vacuum system to form a four millimeter sheet of plastic around a preset mold.
Just place the mold into the machine, lower it, insert the plastic at the top, and the machine does the rest. After 60 seconds of intense heat, the plastic becomes super soft. You raise the mold up, and when the two meet, they gel together in the coolest mold formation you’ll ever see. In an instant, the plastic assumes the form of the mold—car, shoe, gorilla, head steering wheel, or anything else your mind desires.
And while many plastic sheets are solid color, not all of them need to be, just watch as a sheet sporting. The Heineken logo gets vacuum formed to resemble a large bottle cap. More than anything, the sight of the plastic, assuming it’s shaped like the T 1000, changing forms is the selling point for the eyes.
2. Vulcan 3D Printer
3D printing has been around for quite a while now, and the sheer amount of stuff you can create from one of those machines is simply incredible.
But the most incredible of them all would have to be how you can 3D print yourself a house, not a doll house, mind you, but an actual house that you and your loved ones can comfortably live in. A housing charity called New Story has partnered with a construction tech company called Icon in an effort to mass produce 3D printed homes and end the global homelessness crisis.
The ultimate goal is to create each 650 square foot home in under 24 hours for a cost of around $4,000 a piece. Seeing the home building process is nothing short of pure eye. Humans start by assembling the basic wooden structure. Then the giant 3D printer named Vulcan was created to further satisfy the trek. He’s watching this actually prints out layers upon layers of mortar with the precision of a master baker artfully icing, a seven layer cake.
Then humans come back in and add the rest doors, windows, plumbing, and electricity. The result is a comfortable, steady home with a living space, an office, a bedroom, and a bathroom, all for around four grand. The group’s. Next goal is to point hundreds of these houses in impoverished regions of El Salvador, ensuring that those who live on less than $200 a month have safe and comfortable shelter.
If they can pull that off in our country and elsewhere, that will simply make the Vulcans‘ work even more satisfying.
3. Ocean trash collector
Few things are as unsatisfying as seeing trash floating around the ocean, but there’s so much of it. We can’t just swim around and collect it all. Right, Right. So a company called SEA Bin Project has devised a better idea, an ocean trash collector that’s as ecologically sound as it is fun to watch.
The idea is shockingly simple: Place a large trash bin in the water with only the top of its head sticking out inside our plastic mesh in filter. And below all that is a water pump designed to suck water into the bin, also getting sucked in and anything in the water, including plastics, paper, cigarette butts, and other trashy foreign objects.
Seeing bottles, bags, cigarettes, and countless other things slowly sucked into the sea bin one by one, like a watery conveyor belt is something you could peacefully meditate over for. Once the sea bin is full, its handler can remove the mesh and collect the trash to either be recycled or well trashed.
Just like that, our waters are cleaner than they were the day before. Thus far around 70 Mariners have agreed to use the sea bin. Hopefully it’s simply a matter of time before more around the world do the same. As for any fish, they may get sucked into the sea bin. We’ll simply have to put them back.
We’re sure they’ll understand the slight inconvenience, especially once they realize it’s been weeks since they’ve seen a plastic bag anywhere.
4. NASA’s Super Tire
No one enjoys getting a flat tire, but imagine if you are on the moon or Mars and your tire blue. Good luck getting triple later. Come all the way out there.
NASA recently developed a new kind of tire to ensure they never have to deal with flats millions of miles away, and it’s simply mesmerizing to see. It looks like it’s made out of chain mail, though in reality, it’s made from a nickel and titanium-based alloy. It doesn’t puncture under pressure like traditional airfield tires and instead simply rolls over whatever obstacle gets in its way.
Seeing one of these tires drive over a tall, jagged mountain. It’s incredibly relaxing to watch and think about the titanium mesh sink and form alongside the rock, all while knowing there’s no damage. Imagine your own vehicle riding around on such a tire, being able to drive most anywhere you like, and never worrying about fixing a flat or changing out your winter tires for summer ones.
While titanium alloy may currently be a little too expensive for the average Joe and Jane, it’s only a matter of time before costs go way down. When that happens, all of us who have no clue how to change a tile will rejoice, for our day has come.
5. Optimas Paver Laying machine
A lot of these satisfying inventions do one thing: feed the eyes with happiness. Manufacturing behemoth Optimas provides us with two, making broad paving obsolete. Optimas start by flattening out the woody roads’ gravel with a long, wide screed. Seeing the chunks of material slowly being flattened into a manageable, even surface is positively heartwarming. If you’ve ever watched cars and found yourself physically hurt by watching Lightning McQueen butcher his road paving duties, seeing a greater screed go to work will revitalize your soul.
Then comes the laying of the. Officially called the Optimas, T 11 Basic Fla of Liga Machiner. The Optimas Paver Laying machine turns the mundane act of cement pouring into a satisfying puzzle. The concrete is already formed in hardened, arriving in various chunks that resemble puzzle pieces.
For a worker to effortlessly slip a brick, Just like that. We have a new road driveway or parking lot or whatever else needed paving. It’s not hard work, but rather smart work. Not to mention relaxing entertainment.
6. Brielmaier’ Mowerring Tractor
Ever seen those giant tractor powered mowers and wished you could handle one yourself? If so, a company called Brielmaier has made your dream a reality.
At its heart, the Brielmaier is a giant lawn mower, but watching people use it is like something out of a dream. The sight of someone pushing a huge mower and flattening everything in their path is simply awesome. It becomes downright comical when viewed from above because, from the sky, the MOS handle looks like an ant bringing a huge chunk of food back to itself.
The Brielmaier mower works in other ways too. For one, you can attach what looks like a gunturret to the mower and spray fertilizer or other materials over spectacularly long distances. If you have a large field to feed, there’s no faster or more fun way to get it done. In addition, for truly huge mowing jobs, Brielmaier offers a double mower that you can use.
Simply steer and watch your mower flatten down football fields, baseball diamonds, or even entire hillsides in a flash. Whether you are the rider or simply observing mowing the lawn will never be the same.
7. Elios Drone
Flying drones are already fun to watch at the Elios Flying Drone is doubly fun, at the very least, the tiny Drone and it’s stronger, but equally tiny brother Elios two is encased in a sturdy circular cage that renders it tolerant, if not immune to collision. This allows it to float in and around tight, dark, dangerous areas that other drones and people simply cannot access. It’s HD camera, then transmits footage back to the operator who simply could not have seen that location otherwise.
But nevermind how much a collision proof drone can benefit businesses of every kind. Simply watching the Elios in action, bobbing up and down and all around like a forever floating beach ball, is beyond satisfying. It gets even more satisfying when you’re the one controlling it. Maneuvering such a perfect circle is both relaxing and super fun.
On a related note, if you are playing around with an Elios drone and you are not pretending like you’re controlling your own personal bite size desker, and you definitely need more fun in your life,
8. Speedy – T
Folding shirts isn’t usually all that soothing. In fact, very little about doing laundry is, but the speedy tea machine is here to change that.
The speedy tea is about the size of a regular table making usage incredibly. Simply place an unfolded shirt onto the tabletop sleeves dangling from the edges. Then press the button and the machine does the rest. In less than three seconds, the bottom folds up, then one sleeve, then the other, and then finally the whole thing folds over the top.
If you’ll like us, you’ll replay the folding portion of the Speedy T video time, and again, both because it happens so fast and because it’s just that awesome to witness. After that, the now folded shirts get flipped onto the stacking table where you can pull them on top of one another as pretty as a department store.
But what if you are a department store and you need to wrap the shirt up in plastic? The speed ET has that function as well. It folds up the shirts like usual, but stops the funnel flip mid-flight. This allows the user to easily slip a plastic bag over the shirt, making it 100% shelf ready, but never mind that we could just sit and watch this machine fold shirts for hours on end.
Plus doing so might finally solve the mystery of how to properly fold shirts by hand. It might not make laundry more fun, but it will certainly make it.
9. Thunder Laser System
Lasers can do so much more than distract cats and torture James Bond. The Thunder laser cutting machine, for example, uses lasers to create literal works of art, and it’s one of the most satisfying things to watch on the planet.
Simply program the thunder for how and where you want the laser to move and it goes to work. It’s super powerful. Laser can cut through wood, high density, fiberboard, and even sheet metal. Creating any kind of design. Your mind can dream up. Watching it in person is fairly slow, as the thunder can take an hour or more to complete the job.
However, watching a sped up video of the process is enough to make the eyes in heart dance. Watching the laser dance around the material effortlessly cutting through and leaving behind pure art is simply magical. Whether you are carving out some wood art or creating pieces of a model to assemble on your day off, the thunder laser cutter will make your vision a reality.
And if your only desire is to watch somebody else use the thunder, the process will leave you just as happy.
10. RPS 6 Road printer
No longer do we need to laboriously lay down a road brick by. Thanks to modern technology like the RPS 6 Road printer, we can simply roll out an entire road where we want it and do so five times faster than ever.
Relied entirely on manpower. Plus, we can marvel at the incredibly satisfying, almost poetic process while doing so. The Road Printer is a great combination of new school tech and old school handy. Workers bring loose bricks to the top of the road printer. Then they place the bricks on a curved ramp and assemble them into a series of straight lines, which the road printer then swallows up from there, the machine literally oozes the completed road onto whatever path you choose.
It’s honestly surreal to watch a machine spit out a complete road as it does, and we could watch it do its job forever. It gets even more impressive with bigger roads as the road printer can create them up to 20 feet. It does all this while steering itself, ensuring the road stays straight the entire time.
Enjoy the road print of bricklaying process, but try not to get too hypnotized while doing so. Trust us, it’s extremely possible.
