But the following findings are, there is no deliberate and not an actual goal of the inventor. A "blessing in Disguise" or God's grace that is hidden within an unwanted event, that's about the right expression for useful inventions that to this day we still feel the benefits.
A lesson for us that the bad things in our lives and are not expected to bring ugliness does not always, but often provide good so long as we stay positive minded and keen to see other opportunities beyond a disaster. Because we never know how "the hands of" God's work to help us.
1. Penicillin
You probably already know Alexander Fleming, Scottish scientist who conducted research on the attenuated bacteria, called staphylococci or Staphylococcal. The truth is that when he returned from vacation in 1928, he found one of his experiments have been covered cup mushrooms, which upset him and threw it. At that time he had not realized that then Staphylococcal bacteria are not able to live in an environment that fungal mushrooms grown.
After Fleming examined again and found that the fungus could inhibit bacterial growth, he later published his findings from but do not receive much attention. Later in the year 1945 after the further research carried out by several other scientists, it is believed that the new penicillin could be produced in industrial scale, so this has given way to treat an infection or inflammation of the bacteria so far.
2. Microwave Oven
In 1945 Percy LeBaron Spencer, an engineer and creator of America, busy working at the factory magnetron, a tool used to generate the microwave radio signals, which is an early form of radar. Radar is an extraordinary innovation is important in wartime, but the use of microwaves to cook food is accidental.
When he was standing near a magnetron which is living, Spencer found that chocolate bar melted in his pocket. Her mind is sharp immediately understood that it is due to microwaves. Then she tried it on popcorn kernels, then the egg to explode.
The first microwave oven weighed about 340 pounds with a size of a refrigerator.
3. Ice cream cone
This story is a perfect example of an accidental discovery, and a rare chance encounter that gives effect to the whole world. And is a sweet meeting.
In early 1904, the ice cream served on a plate. Until some time in the World's Fair that year, in Saint Louis, Missouri, two foods that seem unrelated to the inevitable connected together.

At very hot air at the World's Fair in 1904, selling ice cream ice cream depot quickly to the point of running out of plates. Depot were not so lucky next ice-cream seller, ie seller Zalabia - a kind of wafer thin waffle from Persia - and the owner of the depot proposed an idea to roll up into cone zalabianya and put a chunk of ice cream on top.
Thus the ice cream cone was born - and until now we still find the ice cream cone, as modern as any ice cream creation.

4. Champagne
According to many people Dom Pierre Perignon champagne respected as the inventor. Benedictine monks even though the 17th century did not mean it, that makes wine with air bubbles in it, because in fact he had spent many years trying to prevent that happening. The wine is full of air bubbles is considered as a sign of the process of making a bad wine.
Hopes to meet the real Perignon French officials the option of white wine. Because of the black grapes much easier to grow in the Champagne region, he found a way of pressing white juice out of the black grapes. But because the climate is relatively cool in Champagne, wine fermentation then goes after two seasons, until the second year in the bottle.
The result is a wine filled with gas bubbles of carbon dioxide by Perignon tried to clean but failed. Fortunately, the new wine that eventually became the main choice among the aristocracy, both the authorities in France and England.
5. Paper Post-It notes
The discovery of paper Post-It notes that simple is a collaboration that happened between the hard science with a church congregation in despair. In 1970, Spencer Silver, a researcher of American 3M company, was trying to formulate a kind of strong glue, but it ended in the creation of a very weak glue that can be removed easily. He introduced his invention at 3M, but nobody cares.
Four years later, Arthur Fry, a colleague at 3M Silver and members of his church choir, disturbed by the fact that the small paper tucked into the book as a sign of spiritual songs page limit always falls when the book opened.
He then asked for help from Spencer Silver to use its findings, namely the weak glue as a boundary marker book pages. Markers of sticky adhesive paper findings Spencder Silver worked perfectly, and he then sold the idea to 3M. Marketing experiment began in 1977, until the post-it is known around the world today.
6. Potato chips
In 1853, at a restaurant in Saratoga, New York, someone who was having dinner, Cornelius Vanderbilt, once seen as a nag who repeatedly refused to eat fried ordered. She complained it was too thick fries and too wet.
Having restored a few dishes and then more thin pieces of potato, head cook, George Crum decided to fry the thinly sliced potatoes are fried in oil that much, it will be like potato chips today.
Vanderbilt initially protested the chief business cooks, he fries were too thin for pierced with a fork, but after some experiments, potato chips became a favorite, and soon everyone in the restaurant was booked. So that the menu listed "Saratoga Chips", which became known throughout the world.
7. Slinky
You must know this one toy, which is segulungan colored wire shaped as a ring jingle when shaken thrust. Originally this game was just a decoration on a desk a mechanical expert, Richard James, who sometime in the year 1940 that when spring arrives, stumbled and tumbled across the floor after stepping on the body should be lying sick.
After several prototypes, Slinky finally ready to be introduced at a toy store in 1948, which then became one of the most popular toy icons of all time.
James's wife, Betty, was the person who suggested the name "Slinky", and as CEO of the company since 1960. More than 250 million Slinky has been sold throughout the world, and even Slinky used as mobile radio antennae during the Vietnam War.
8. Pacemaker
Like penicillin, it is another accidental discovery that has saved the lives of many people to this day. An American engineer, Wilson Greatbatch, is working with a device that records heart rate irregular, when he inserted a resistor of the wrong type into the invention.
Circuit pulsed, then silence, then pulsed again, pushing Greatbatch to compare this reaction with human heart and use it on as the first pacemaker in the world could diimplan or implanted in the human body.
Before diimplan version that can be used in humans after 1960, pacemakers have been based on external model invented by Paul Zoll in 1952. This tool is the size of a television and distributing electric shocks adjusted to the patient's body, which often cause skin burns. Greatbatch also developed his invention by using a lithium battery cells to move iodid pacemaker.
9. Super strong glue (Superglue)
More sticky material. This one is famous for its high adhesive power, not like Post-It Notes at the top. Super strong glue was created in 1942 when Dr. Harry Coover was trying to isolate a clear plastic material to make up the firearm.
While he was working with chemicals cyanoacrylates, immediately after the polymerized materials exposed to moisture makes all the chemicals in the experiment bound together. Coover for his experiments failed, and the research goes on.
Six years later, Coover worked at a chemical plant in Tennessee, and realize the potential of a substance when they were testing the heat resistance of cyanoacrylates, known in advance that the glue-glue does not require heat and pressure to form a strong bond.
So, after a certain amount of commercial improvement, Superglue or "Alcohol-Catalyzed Cyanoacrylate Adhesive Composition" (composition of materials Cyanoacrylate glue catalyzed by alcohol) was born.
The glue that is used later to treat wounded soldiers in the Vietnam War - the glue that can be sprayed on open wounds, to stem the bleeding and facilitate transportation of the soldiers. This glue has a lot of saving the lives of the victims injured by firearms.
10. Saccharine
Saccharin, artificial sweeteners oldest, discovered accidentally in 1879 by a researcher named Constantine Fahlberg, a man who once worked at Johns Hopkins University in the laboratory of professor Ira Remsen.
Fahlberg discovery began when he forgot to wash his hands before lunch, which previously had been ditumpahi similar chemicals in the laboratory. Chemicals that cause the bread and then ate a strange sweet taste.
In the year 1880, the two scientists jointly published the discovery, but in 1884, Fahlberg obtained a patent and began mass producing saccharin without Remsen materials.
Saccharin consumption will not expand if not for the use of sugar is limited during World War I, and her fame increased during the 1960s to the 1970s for use by manufacturers Sweet'N Low and soft drinks (soft drinks) to the diet.
11. Rubber retreading (tire rubber)
Christopher Columbus, discoverer of the Americas, is the person who first introduced the rubber ball from West Indies to Europe. Raw rubber is good but the material is sangit foul, hardened as cold and too sticky when warm and can not appear to be used for practical purposes.
Three hundred years later, Charles Goodyear established the company and strive to make useful materials. Previous seven years, he tried to cultivate rubber material with magnesium oxide, bronze powder, nitric acid and lime paste, but still no results.
Then, on a day full of luck in the year 1839, he cleaned his hands from the spread powder, which consists of a mixture of rubber and sulfur. And the powder fell into a furnace on fire.
When the rubber melts, it reacts with belerangnya materials. This is the first time retread rubber or rubber tires are created, and until now you could be sleeping peacefully in a car because of this accident.
12. An X-ray machine
In 1895, German physicist, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, was trying to find a way to see out of the cathode ray tube glass which completely covered by a black cardboard. He realized it was impossible but he found something more interesting about it.
He tried to put various objects in front of the device, but the surprise was that he saw the bones in the hand itself, then, the results were projected onto a wall. Chest X-rays were aware that can penetrate solid objects as well.
Immediately, he called yahg rays can penetrate it with the name of x-ray or we know also by X-ray - as the name. Today, these tools have become standard equipment in health hospitals.
13. Viagra
If you are a person with erectile dysfunction, you should be grateful to the researchers from Merthyr Mydfil, a town in Wales. In 1992, they made several clinical trials to test new drugs that had been expected for hypertension therapy.
The experiments have a very bad failure as no sightings of their blood pressure levels to the normal point. But when the measured blood pressure was up, they saw there was another ride - you must already know what I mean (he he he).
The project would be terminated if any side effects if it does not appear. This drug is now known as the "viagra", type of drug "opponents of gravity" is used to produce the "steel rod" strong
