Wacky Inventor
A quirky inventor with a cult following.
We visit Japan to meet Dr Nakamatsu and some of his inventions, a chair that doubles your brain size and knocks ten years off your life being one of them.
Dr Nakamatsu claims to be the world's most prolific inventor. He is famous in Japan for inventing the floppy disc and more recently a chair that doubles the brain size of those who sit in it. The doctor's brain has been starved of a lot of oxygen over the years, but that's not the only secret of his success. He only has one carefully selected meal each day. For the last 30 years he's taken a record of everything he's eaten, to help determine what foods hinder his head. Six and a half million Japanese are true believers and members of his fan club. We get to meet the man behind the science!
