Mechanic's mind gives birth to a great idea INSPIRATION sometimes comes from unlikely places. So it was with Jorge Odon, an Argentine car mechanic and now the inventor of a potentially life-saving device to help to deliver babies when labour complications occur. Mr Odon, 59, came up with his invention after watching a YouTube video on how to retrieve a cork from inside an empty wine bottle. The parlour trick works by inserting a twisted-up plastic bag into the bottle and inflating it until it forms a seal around the cork and can be used to tug it out.
