Did the professor invent these things on Gilligan's Island?

He could make anything! Well, except a working boat.

 Warner Brothers

Ah yes, the professor: the man who famously could create just about anything out of coconuts, palm fronds, and sea shells — but couldn't seem to fix the hole in the boat.

During the castaways' stay on the island, the professor came up with dozens of inventions to make their lives easier (or to serve as a convenient plot device for that week's adventure.) Can you remember if he actually made these gadgets, gizmos, and appliances?

The Hot air ballon question is incorrect. The ballon did not use hot air it used a lighter than air gas found on the island by Gilligan.

I really don't remember him making a high G centrifuge. Was it when Gilligan was training to use the jet pack?

"Hey little buddy, you got 8 out of 10. Look at you, flying high with that quiz score!"

Not to sound like some pedantic "I know better" type but the quiz title shouldn't be
"Did the professor invent these things on Gilligan's Island?" as that confused things.
He didn't invent any of them. Rather it's a question of did he fashion a island version
of them with the material at hand, which is fun to see, like the car that Gilligan drove
that was a version of Fred Flintstone's Cavemobile.
I think it was called a Cavemobile, at least that's what someone posted on these boards
a long time ago.
