现今,自动感应冲水马桶在全球的学校、机场、饭店及观光景点比比皆是。但你可知这一现代化便利设施是谁发明的吗?答案可能会令你大吃一惊。原来这是台湾南投人邓鸿吉的杰作;当他发明第一座感应冲水男用小便斗时,只有十九岁而已呢!
邓鸿吉的灵感源自于1983年一个辛苦修车的工作日。当他使用厕所时,不想用油腻腻的黑手按冲水钮,免得把男用小便斗弄脏了。于是他开始思考如何把红外线感应器与水际结合在一起。两个月后,他的发明大功告成了,该发明的专利还卖了150万台币!从此以后,邓鸿吉许多的创意发明让他赢得了"台湾的爱迪生"称号。
当人们发现家电用品坏了,通常就把它放在一边不用了。但邓鸿吉却不会这么做。他从小就喜欢把坏掉的家电用品拆开,藉此了解内部构造。他的好奇心与坚持到底的精神使他创造出许多优质的新发明。对邓鸿吉而言,发明不过是改变现况而已。
邓鸿吉对发明的热衷,使他在每年举办的世界发明比赛中赢得不少奖项。但在这些荣耀奖项的背后,是他日以继夜、勤奋不懈的工作。
举例来说,邓鸿吉的"呼叫器遥控装置",使他在1999年纽伦堡世界发明展中,成为首位荣获天才奖的亚洲人。这项发明可以从很远的地方遥控整座建筑物中的每一样电器呢!邓鸿吉发表得奖感言时,特别感谢了台湾的零售商:当他灵感来了需要零件时,就算是三更半夜,他也会去敲这些零售商的门,而零售商的门总是为他而开着。
除了个人终其一生的发明兴趣外,邓鸿吉也积极投入发明教育。现年40岁的邓鸿吉鼓励人们要努力地异想天开,并让这些想法成真,而不要受限于制式的思考模式。
"只要你能耐得寂寞,而且永不放弃,成为一个发明家一点也不难。"邓鸿吉说:"每一所学校只要能培育出一个杰出的发明家,我们的国家一定会从多彩多姿的发明品中大获益处!"
