Building something new is a complex process. First, you have to take an idea out of your head, and turn it into a plan on paper. After that, you have to follow your paper plan and use it to build a prototype. Just getting that far is an impressive achievement, but not all of those prototypes are successful. For a variety of reasons, technology sometimes gets written off or abandoned after a prototype has been built, or test trials have been performed. This video is full of technological wonders that have been drawn or built, but were never developed further.
