I'll bet you've never heard of Tom Haywood...

Back in the 1930s, he invented a self-kicking machine – consisting of a hand-operated crank connected by a belt and pulleys to a wheel, which had four spokes with a shoe attached to each spoke. For a swift kick in the rear, the operator would bend over and turn the crank.

Haywood's contraption went on to become a tourist attraction in the small North Carolina town of Croatan. The original is now in the North Carolina Museum of History.
