SAN DIEGO Have you had a great idea that you thought could make you a million bucks? In this Zevely Zone, a San Diego inventor showed me his COVID-19 Candle Blower Outer . Sheldon Levinson has spent a lifetime inventing stuff in his garage. This is called an automatic gate latch closer, said Sheldon. He has fifty inventions in total. Hey, I m out of control, I know it, said Sheldon from his San Carlos garage.
Which may explain his urinal pee pad invention. When people pee on it, a secret message is revealed. Now you have got room for one more beer, said Sheldon while demonstrating the invention. When COVID-19 hit, Sheldon s imagination lit up like a birthday cake. I ve been a germophobe for all of my life. I always walk around with sanitizer, said Sheldon.

Here’s how Sheldon Levinson’s mind works. When the coronavirus pandemic arrived in San Diego, he thought about birthday candles.
“Using your breath to blow them out that seems like a bad idea in COVID times,” he said.
Levinson is an amateur inventor, a 72-year-old gadget guy who’s been tinkering in the garage off and on for most of his life.
The retired San Carlos RV salesman has come up with devices to capture rainwater from gutter downspouts, pick fruit, close gates, clean bird baths some 40 inventions in all.
