Two years ago, when Andrew Gordon introduced his little invention "table shake wagons" to guests on the Dragon Nest program at the BBC commercial desk, business experts responded with a burst of laughter in response to the invention.

But the table rocker has been on sale on the Internet and even received large orders from overseas.

This little plastic device, once regarded by some experts as "the most ridiculous invention in history", won him the first pot of gold in life.

Gordon, the inventor of the table rocker, is 31 years old and lives in the city of Surrey in the city of Canton.

He first unveiled this invention to the BBC commercial stage "Dragon Nest" two years ago.

The table rocker is a small device made of 8 pieces of plastic, which can be adjusted according to the shaking degree of the table and has a fixed function on the table foot.

Although it is called "table rocker", the small device can also be used for fixing furniture or appliances such as washing machines, bookcases, flower shelves, etc.

When Gordon introduced the program guests, he was greeted with a laugh of ridicule. His invention was even ridiculed by some experts as "the most ridiculous invention in history."

But the table rocker has earned him 5 million pounds.

Gordon has a large customer base and has even expanded to overseas. Large scale home products retailers such as Tesco, IKEA and B&Q have placed orders with Gordon.

The royal family was also interested in this gadget.

This month, the British examinations association also ordered 200 thousand table wagging devices.

Two months ago, Rachel Ern, one of the guests of "Dragon Nest" program, said that the table rocker was the most fantastic idea she had ever heard.

But no advertising table anti shake device was used. In just one month, it got over one million hits on the Internet.

The "Dragon Nest" is a creative business program at BBC commercial center. It encourages people who try to start their own businesses to show their unique ideas and comments by a panel of successful business people.

If the idea is highly praised by experts, it is possible to win the funds provided by the program and put creativity into production.

BBC a spokesman responded on the 20 day: "the judges are making decisions based on their own judgement.

Although they did not choose to support Gordon's creativity at that time, Gordon's persistent spirit was praiseworthy.

We hope that Gordon's case can inspire more people to come up with new and better ideas.
