American Inventor Season 2: NYC Finalist - Final Pitch

[FirstStreetTV]

Why does she care how to install it? I don't hang my bike in the kitchen

[gingerbread185]

ITS LOOKS A FIRE HOSE NOZZLE TO ME

[KeyIsLove]

yah id by it

[logik316]

I don't see enough of a convenience factor in this invention. Maybe if the claw would include some kind of motorized rope and pulley system to make it easier to lift heavy items up to the ceiling, then they *might* have something worth 40 bucks. Otherwise, it's just a nifty toy for yuppies who want something trendy to show off in their fancy apartment that looks more sophisticated than a simple good old-fashioned hook.

[MUGENKAZKI]

hot judge lady great job on the casting so refreshing compare to the ew hag judge on season 1

[cozmic24]

dammn this is cheesy like chucky cheease

[Charlesperalo]

This was a horrible idea from the start.

[TheScottishPole]

@neettim They all speak English.

[FraterAeternus93]

of course he'd buy 3 of them he's a fuking millionair. ffs

[LittleMonster1201]

@AnthonyPhoeng123 you need help my friend. Serious help.

[fredrik999z]

There is already a solution that works for mostly: a hook. Yes, this is more convenient and easier but it can brake and the price tag is too high. There's no market for this.

[truthsofwolf]

"Instantly, I'd buy three."

[tomds99]

wheres the rest?

[Charlesperalo]

This is not about quality, but about cost comparison. The hook looks nicer and clearly works better, but 10 times better? No way!!!!! My alternative would be making a longer hook.

[AnthonyPhoeng123]

The nigger would buy 3 because he steals too much bikes, fucking nigger.

[iworkforme]

I think 40 bucks too much. A steel hook is every bit as effective. They retail for about 3 bucks I say no.

[Drakeriaz]

3:11 - She knows her place

[heyufool1]

that guy or doubted the product is a major dick

[yiany]

oh wow this is quite convenient. I could think of other uses for The Claw.

[rebeccastar430]

i'll buy it

[jaysomethin]

The music played when the girl comes out is so hilariously inappropriate.

[rxp1019]

The dude with the british talk is a dick

[marcuslind90]

Does every American inventor speak as if they're on TVShop?

[R3allyBored]

"As a woman I was kinda hoping your presentation would show something how to install it."

lol'd hard.

[alexandersydney]

fail

[icemanguitar]

lol

[Tweekerization]

I would use that as an earring. New style!

[Zipito06]

The only reason they didnt accept it was that they were pissed off because they wasted 50 grand like retards

[Suprem3Gamer]

nice

[parkinpants]

My god. This program is infinitely inferior to Dragon's Den. Without Peter Jones it would suck even more balls.

[boitahaki]

The fact people need to put all their effort in stupid TV shows disgust me

[luckynumber58]

its a yes if you stop talking like retards

[zain19]

out of 61% only 12.2% will buy it

[acanthopleura]

great invention: "we got an industrial designer..."

"we hired an independent market research firm..."

[RossIrving]

This just shows how much fucking money is wasted on shit like interviews or market research and other fluff. The product wasn't that good to begin with yeah, they should've been out before they even advanced that far, but damn, hardly any money was spent on improving the product besides cosmetic changes. This damn Jetson-esque holder that will probably lose it's effectiveness after two years when a hook will last for ever, to those who'd want this get some perspective.

[digeiSemtex]

that seems useful actually

[wille0000]

What hapends if you get there with your hand= you will hurt yourself bad. Why use a big expensive claw when you can use a cheap and easy hook and just hang it up

[Helldwell666]

40 dollar?

that is so expensive, 20 is enough..

[TheNewVideos]

they payed the kid 50 000 to come there. not a very good investment...

[jxwhee]

most worthless invention ever, you can just use a hook.

[butkag]

veri nuse

[davidzimacansuckit]

That bit with the map made me cringe pretty hard.

[ryanwade1234]

I went to school with the taller guy. He has been a true genius since I have known him. It didn't surprise me that he made it this far in life! Kudos to David Moeller!

[theman0818]

they took out the part where the kid struggles to get the bike out xD

[LuckbasedDPS]

Ok it peaked my interest until they said their price.

$40 BUCKS?!!?

Rather get a hook for >$5

[skiie]

haha id be that nervous too if someone gave me 50k dollars.

[CylonDorado]

A claw front? That sounds like the most terrifying weather phenomenon ever.

[to0nstyle]

"... is that litterally what you've done with 50k dollars?"

"Um, we we we, yeah and we blew the rest on coke and prostitutes."

[FM897]

What I want to know is, if you were to put your hand in there, would the claw close on your hand?

[plutarkosky]

Bulletball,Bulletball that's a Bulletball

[iCuMlOuD]

Stupid Claw! I can't hang my Donkey on one those, at least, not legally. Hmmmm

[linskitravis]

ok the only thing that bothers me is the 2 wood screws holding a 500lb maximum weight hook. it should have a whole bracket mounted around the wood and be bolted down with no less than 4 bolts. but they did a great presentation

[vegetaowen]

i think it's pretty good

[poorperson]

sounds like an infomerical

[lilaznclucle]

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS EPIC FAIL!!!!

Let me explain, or better yet ask a question.

What do I do when this is mounted and the claw is already closed?

Its convince is COMPLETELY gone and it is now an inconvenience. There is a reason we use a hook and NOT a claw

[BM03]

You push the button? It seems to me like it both opens and closes by just pushing the giant button on the middle...

[AmatuerProductionz]

ummm you just hit the little button and it opens...i dont really see the "EPIC FAIL" in that. but i am starting to see an EPIC FAIL in your logic

[ryanwade1234]

Genius, if you would have watched the little girl-she simply lifted the bicycle 2 or 3 inches and and tapping on the release mechanism. Give credit where it is due! They did a great job!

[iWearCapeIRL]

all i have to say is that you are ugly

[spamielson]

you would have to push the button for it to close again. otherwise, it sits there in the open position. yeah it would be an inconvenience if it was closed, but you would have inconvenienced yourself

[inogi339]

What's the name of the judge at left?

He's always a mean.......

[ArmandiMan123]

thats peter jones, hes a multi million dollar  British businessman invester whos also on a show called "Dragon's Den" which is similar to this show

[shodanxx]

he plays the character of simon cowell

[gareler]

kinda of dangerous, when that closes, and imagine it catches your hand, it can destroy the bone. and at same time a bicycle will fall into your head.

[triswarkentin]

What, you think the claw somehow has magical force? It only has whatever power you put into it by nudging the little contact panel up...

There's no way it could break a bone. Maybe cause a tiny bruise, but that's about it.

[capcaunuu]

you are the kind of person who has no grasp over basic mechanics or physics. I could never expect somebody like you to invent something.

[rock3tcat]

@gareler

Or it could explode and kill everyone in your home... :D

[dillesaatana]

@gareler dangerous ? okey just as dangerous as a fork ? still you propably use them every day :D

[randyamanda225]

i would buy it. they come pretty nifty. i think it should go for a lower price though

[HaxxyHagberg]

Only a little less space dripper

[tubs6199]

the hook i would buy it cuz the 2 dollor hook its like i have the pick up the bike and shit that is a lot easier

[dripperj]

Does hanging bikes up actually use less space than leaning them against a wall? Honest question. Can anyone answer and explain how?

[omgheaven]

dripperj is right

[gareler]

your correct, but imagine you lean 4 bikes, and want to take out first one... but your again correct, because if you had 3 bikes, youd buy three of those stuff

[kaasis85]

it seems that it does because you are using the space of wall instead of floor

[ronson49]

yeah shit invention. At the end of the day, there may be loads of cyclists but not many of them care enough to go through the effort of installing this never mind paying for it. Some will but not many. Fail.

[100mydude]

The judge with an accent is a prick, people deny great products just so they show they have power. Go fuck yourself. No sense of humor either.

[Logan]

Ditto!

He seemed to be against it from the beginning of their presentation.

[Geistxxxx]

@100mydude Its called England you twat, learn it.

[Geistxxxx]

@100mydude Your a prick

[banzemanga]

Seriously, i think this is a brilliant invention. Although the main use portrayed here is for bikes, it does seem very useful for other hanging objects as well.

[gaura]

what if you bumped the bike and it fell on your head??? or it wore out over time

[thevidfather]

They're smart people, and they know far more than you all do about it, so there's no point firing comments like "1 in 5 people... pfft, that's nothing".

Pretty much every person I know owns a bike. And all of them shove it on the side because they haven't got space to put it anywhere...

[JimminyCrickett]

i'd buy one, that would be really useful :)

[1ToNJaB]

I'll see you a steel hook for $5

[jvdthwip]

I hand my bike, and it's a pain in the ass to use the 2 dollar hook. A claw would be so easy to use. srsly.

[jcenarock]

did they just leave and forget the little girl?

[segaface]

i think they did

[schpongled]

They over engineered a hook.

[ofirharlev]

yeah...ummm i'm glad they used a little girl...what's that all about?

[fatuesque]

I so wish that bike had fell onto the kid.

[Prophaniti666]

Good creation, cringe-worthy advertising.

[poiuasdqwe]

so this asses think that the total amount of bikers in all the world is 40 000

[connader]

1 in 5 - waste of time sorry

[capcaunuu]

@connader 1 in 5 is a shitload of people and a shitload of money. And that's just the initial response...wait until the skeptics see how easy it is to use...then it will be 2 or 3 out of 5.

[thefastestfox]

What's wrong with a steel hook?

[Prophaniti666]

Very good question.

[stephenlandrum]

@thefastestfox Because their invention it can just unhook and come right down but with a regular hook u would have to lift it then unhook it

[encore86]

brilliant.. did they won?

[jesteragogo]

yes encore they winned.

[contrast27]

they winned good.

[Danax96]

@contrast27 Won :]

[capcaunuu]

@encore86 they did not won I think :)

[toros1996]

i love this fucking program

[sexygeeky]

i'd buy a bunch!! i live in an apartment!! i need as much room as i can get!!

[lol8lol8kill]

looks prety good and then concidering it can hold 500 pounds and its about 1 or 2 inches long, yeah id buy 6 of then if the were 100 dollars each
