Canadian inventor has built a 13-foot dinosaur, human-sized TIE Fighter and working flying broom

A Canadian tinkerer who calls himself a'mad inventor' ditched his corporate job to follow his dream of'putting a little more joy into the world' with eye-catching vehicles and contraptions. Former advertising executive Allan Carver is still generating promotions for local businesses but they involve crazy creations -- like a 13-foot remote-control metal dinosaur, an electric witches' broom made from an old scooter, and a real-life Angry Birds video game -- rather than radio or TV spots. 'I want people to go'Wow!' and walk away with a smile,' Carver told DailyMail.com of his inventions. 'I want them to feel better about themselves, about others, and about humanity in general.' One of the most attention-garnering inventions to come from Carver's Mad Secret Labs is a rideable TIE fighter, the starship flown by Darth Vader and imperial troops in the Star Wars movies.
