What's a cool thing you ‘invented’ as a kid, only to find it had already been invented?

When I was in 4th grade I came up with a brilliant idea.

One could use electromagnets to lock doors.

With huge amounts of excitement I told my father my about my idea, an electronic locking system with so blatantly obvious applications. Admittingly I was a little crushed when he explained that they've existed for years and are already used in every modern office building.

At least my design looked better.
