American Inventor Top 3

Its down to the final 3 and the lame inventions and their makers have been kicked out of the ring. I must admit that I haven’t been following the show fully, but I have been keeping tabs on what’s going on.

Here are the last three that America had a chance to vote on last night:

Elaine Cato, a realtor from Tennessee, describes her 6-In-1 Convertible Brassiere invention as, “A convertible brassiere that accommodates the full wardrobe of small frame women with a “C” cup or above. This is a traditional brassiere that converts into six configurations and affords the full back to be exposed with comfort because there is no mid-section and it can be worn with full wardrobe.”

Gregg Chavez, a firefighter from Camarillo, California, describes his Guardian Angel invention as, “A small, pressurized tank of water, disguised as a Christmas package, that is placed under the Christmas tree and attached to a small hose leading to the top of the tree where a fusible link is disguised as an angel. The heat from a fire pops the link and water suppresses the fire. There is also an alarm that works without a battery&intended to suppress (not fully extinguish) a Christmas tree fire and sound an alarm to get people out of the house alive.”

Ricky DeRennaux, a school-teacher from Oklahoma, describes his Custom Build Racers invention as, “The design and fabrication of custom vehicles through the use of computers and patented tools. Intended for use by individuals and groups ages 13 and up for entertainment and educational purposes, my invention is a kit that lets teens design, engineer and build remote controlled vehicles.”

Although a past Christmas made me never want to get a real tree again, my vote is for the Guardian Angel because it really is a life saver. So many times around the holidays, you hear about Christmas tree fires and it just makes sense. The bra idea is ok, but I don’t have boobs to put them in…and the racers just doesn’t seem like it would be a good seller. If it was marketed just right, it might do ok but I just don’t see it lasting a long time.

Next week, the million dollar winner will be announced.
