Great post.

You haven't invented anything unless you've made a working prototype. I think the basis of the original question was pretty obvious, otherwise you could just say "I'd invent a Columbia Class Nuclear Submarine and rule the World".

You could 'invent' the 'Fork'. Chopsticks may have died out

Again....how? I've made and repaired many steam engines, totally understand the workings of them. It would be impossible for me to make a viable steam engine in 1145, let alone - Electric generator. Electric Motor. Refrigeration.

Depends how much you hate 'em.

How?

In essence that sounds good and easy and something that would be useful .....but and its a pretty big BUT....how do you explain the why for? "Hey all you dirty people, I'm here to tell you that you're killing yourselves because you're disgustingly filthy and have billions of microorganisms, bacteria, virus's, that you can't see crawling all over your hands and bodies but I know that they are there and you need to wash them off.....believe me". Welcome to a burning!

Too funny 🤣😁😃

People can send invoices asking for money all the time. I hope before any monies were handed over a copyright lawyer was consulted.

We could block out Florida hurricanes

Invented much earlier than 1145.

You'd have to be so careful.

You'll have to invent the patents office first

Charcol tick, but finding salt petre and sulphur may not have been the easiest and if you did manage to make BP, what would you do with it? What metallurgy would you employ to make a barrel? What is the design of your toothbrush and how do you make them?

How handy would a coiled spring be for inventers of the day? I think the coiled spring was invented from memory in the 1700's, but in 1145 steel wasn't invented yet for another 700 years, so how would you get something as simple as wire to make a spring?

That's the quandary and why it gets the old grey matter thinking.......its a lot hard to answer than what a lot of people think.

It was a hard night, lots of tossing and turning ...... You wake up and its the year 1145 A.D, what would you invent for the folks?

In Australia we use augers with extensions on them to get down D-E-E-P
