ABC's American Inventor

The ABC show “American Inventor” captured the attention of millions of viewers as the last four American Inventor finalists made their final appeal to judges and television viewers. The two hour May 11, and the May 18, 2006 episodes of American Inventor on ABC recapped the finals that led up to the decision that resulted in the four finalists chosen, and ultimately the esteemed title of ABC’s American Inventor. The four American Inventor finalists, with professional assistance, developed tv commercials to promote their inventions. The last four finalists of the ABC show “American Inventor” were as follows.

Janusz Liberkowski

Janusz Liberkowski is a 52-year-old San Jose California mechanical engineer. Janusz invented a car seat for infants that is exceptionally new and innovative. The car seat developed by this American inventor is a spherical safety seat that works by spinning and moving a baby so the baby is perpendicular to the force of impact generated during a car accident. The movements of the nested spheres protect the neck and back of the baby, and therefore greatly decrease the chance of devastating or fatal injuries.

American inventor Janusz Liberkowski developed this spherical safety seat as a result of the loss of his daughter Anecia. A car accident caused the passing of his infant daughter, and it is Janusz’s desire to produce this American invention to save the lives of other infants. Janusz named his American invention “Anecia” after his infant daughter who tragically passed away seven years almost to the day of his appearance on American Inventor.
