1. Penicillin
You may already be familiar with Alexander Fleming, Scottish Scientist who conducted research on attenuated bacteria, called staphylococci or Staphylococcus. The actual incident was when he returned from vacation in 1928, he found one of his experiments had been grown cup of mushrooms, so that pissed him off and threw it. At that time he had not realized that later Staphylococcus bacteria are not able to live in a neighborhood infested fungal mushrooms.
After Fleming examined again and found that fungi can inhibit bacterial growth, he then published his findings but did not receive much attention. Later in1945 after the further research conducted by several other scientists, it is believed that the new penicillin could be produced on an industrial scale, so this will provide a way for the treatment of bacterial infection or inflammation to the present.

2.Oven Microwave
In 1945 Percy Lebaron Spencer, an engineer and creator of America, busy working at the factory magnetron, a tool used to generate microwave radio signals, which is an early form of radar. Radar is an incredibly important innovation during the war, but the use of microwaves to cook food is by accident.
As I was standing near a magnetron which is life, Spencer found that chocolate bars in his pocket melted. His mind was sharp immediately understood that it was caused by microwaves. Then she tried it on popcorn seeds, and then on an egg to explode.
The first microwave oven weighed about 340 kg with the size of a refrigerator.
3. Ice cream cone
This story is a perfect example of the invention is not intentional, and a rare chance meeting that gave effect to the whole world. And is a nice 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 ingredients that seem unrelated to the inevitable connected together.
At the time of 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 next to the ice cream was not as fortunate as the seller, ie seller Zalabia - a kind of wafer thin waffle from Persia - and the owner of the depot propose an idea to roll up into a cone and placed zalabianya a patch of ice cream on top.
So 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 Dom Pierre Perignon many people are respected as the inventor of champagne. Although actual Benedictine monk of the 17th century did not mean it, ie making wine with bubbles of air in it-because in fact he had spent many years trying to prevent that happening. Wine full of air bubbles is considered as a sign of poor wine making process.
Hope to meet real Perignon French officials preferred form of white wine. Because the black grapes that are easier to grow in the Champagne region, he found a way of pressing out the juice and white from black grapes. But because relatively cold climate in Champagne, the wine is finally experiencing the fermentation 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 it but failed. Fortunately, a new wine that eventually became the top choice among the aristocracy, both officials in both France and England.
5. Paper Notes "Post It"
The invention of paper Post-It notes is a simple coincidence of a collaboration between hard science with a church congregation that desperate. In 1970, Spencer Silver, a researcher with a great American company 3M, had been 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 cared.
Four years later, Arthur Fry, a colleague at 3M Silver and members of the choir at his church, disturbed by the fact that the small paper tucked in his spiritual song book marking pages as always fell when the book is opened.
He then asked for help from Spencer Silver to use its findings, namely the weak glue it as a boundary marker of book pages. Markers such as the adhesive paste paper Spencder Silver findings work perfectly, and he later sold the idea to 3M. Marketing experiment began in 1977, until a post-it known throughout the world today.
6. Potato chips
In 1853, at a restaurant in Saratoga, New York, someone who was dinner, Cornelius Vanderbilt, once seen as fussy who repeatedly refused to eat fried ordered. She complained it was too thick and fried too wet.
After the plates and then returned several more thin pieces of potato, head cook George Crum decided to fry the thin slices of potato fried in oil that much, so Be like potato chips today.
Vanderbilt initially protested the efforts of the chief cook, he said it was too thin fried to prodded with a fork, but after some experiments, potato chips later became a favorite, and soon everyone in the restaurant was booked. So on the menu included "Saratoga Chips", which later became known to the world.
7. Slinky
You must know this one toy, which is a roll of colored wire shaped as a ring-toss jingle when shaken. The original game was just a decoration on a desk a mechanical expert, Richard James, who sometime in the year 1940 that when spring arrives, tripped and rolled across the floor after stepping on the object and should be lying sick.
After several prototypes, Slinky is 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 one 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. Pacemakers
Like penicillin, this is another accidental invention that has saved so many lives to this day. An American engineer, Wilson Greatbatch, working with equipment that records an irregular heartbeat when he inserts a resistor of the wrong type into the invention.
Circuit pulsed, then a pause, then pulsed again, pushing Greatbatch to compare this reaction with human heart and use it on as the first pacemaker implanted in the world could or implanted into the human body.
Prior versions may be used in humans implanted after 1960, pacemakers have been based on external model invented by Paul Zoll in 1952. This appliance is sized with a television and distributing electric shocks adjusted to the patient's body, which often cause skin burns. Greatbatch also developed his invention with the use of lithium battery cells iodid to move the heart pacemaker.
9. SuperGlue
More sticky material. This one is famous for its high adhesive power, not like Post-It Notes at the top. Super strong glue created in 1942 when Dr. Harry Coover was trying to isolate a clean plastic materials to make the handle firearms.
While he was working with chemicals cyanoacrylates, immediately after the polymerized material contacted with the dew makes all the chemicals in the experiment are bound together. For Coover experiments failed, and research continues.
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 is catalyzed by alcohol) was born.
10. Saccharin
Saccharin, the oldest artificial sweetener, accidentally discovered 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 a kind of chemical spilled in the laboratory. Chemicals that then causes the bread which he ate a strange sweet taste.
In 1880, the two scientists jointly published the discovery, but in 1884, Fahlberg obtained a patent and began mass producing saccharin without Remsen materials.
The use of saccharin would not be widespread if not because sugar consumption is restricted during World War I, and his fame increased during the 1960s until the 1970s because it is used by the factory Sweet'N Low and soft drinks (soft drinks) to the diet.
11. Rubber retreading (tire rubber)
Christopher Columbus, discoverer of the Americas, is the man who first introduced the rubber ball from West Indies to Europe. Raw rubber is good but the material is a foul-smelling rice pest, hardened as cold and too sticky when warm and visible can not be used for practical purposes.
Three hundred years later, Charles Goodyear established the company and strive to make useful materials. Previously, he spent seven years, he tried to cultivate rubber material with magnesium oxide, bronze powder, nitric acid and lime adhesive, but still no luck.
Then, on an auspicious day in the year 1839, he cleaned his hands from the spread of powder, which consists of a mixture of rubber and sulfur. And the powder fell into a furnace on fire.
When the rubber to melt, it reacts with sulfur material. This is the first time vulcanized rubber or rubber tires are created, and until now you can sleep soundly in a car because of this accident.
12. X-ray machine
In 1895, German physicist, Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen, is trying to find a way to be able to view cathode ray tube glass out of a completely enclosed 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 his own hands, then, the results were projected onto a wall. Chest X-ray aware that it can penetrate solid objects as well.
Soon, he calls yahg rays can penetrate it with a x-ray or we know also by X-ray - as the name suggests. 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 a new drug which was originally expected for the therapy of hypertension.
These experiments have failed very badly like invisibility of their blood pressure levels to the normal point. But when a 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 stopped if side effects if it does not appear. Now this drug is known by the name "Viagra", the type of drug "opponents of gravity" is used to produce the "steel rod" strong.
In 1945 Percy Lebaron Spencer, an engineer and creator of America, busy working at the factory magnetron, a tool used to generate microwave radio signals, which is an early form of radar.
