Silley Circuits Useless Edition 2018 Winner: Motor Cycle with a Toilet

Chinese Inventor wins Silley Circuits' 2018 Useless Edition Award  

Silley Circuits' 2018 Useless Edition(c) award goes to Geng Shuai for his motor cycle with a toilet. 

Based in China, Geng has over 2 million viewers for the videos of his inventions of useless gadgets posted online. The viewers donate money, about $150 an episode, which enabled him to give up his job as a welder. 

Geng will receive Silley Circuits annual recognition of the Most Impractical Inventor if and when he visits New York. 

However, Silley Circuits will withdraw the award if he makes anything practical.
