In 1939, the Antarctic Snow Cruiser was unveiled as a futuristic beast meant to conquer the frozen continent. Instead, it became one of history’s most spectacular engineering flops.

Motorized Roller Skates

Salesman Mike Dreschler fills up the tank for his motorized roller skates at a Sunoco station in Hartford, Connecticut. Produced by the Motorized Roller Skate Company of Detroit starting in 1956, these seemingly convenient skates sold for $250 and reached speeds of 17 miles per hour.

In addition to their exorbitant cost — which would be around $2,300 today — the skates weighed a whopping 19 pounds. While these factors prevented the skates from ever truly taking off, perhaps their most glaring failure was their lack of brakes.
