Duh, he was trapped on a desert island with Ginger and Mary Ann. He just came up with all those inventions to make everyone _think_ he was trying to get them rescued. He was also trying to get rid of Gilligan, by leaving hazardous materials and inventions around and specifically pointing them out to the incorrigibly curious first mate. He probably figured the Howells wouldn't last long on the island being used to a pampered life. And the skipper would eventually be done in by his own clogged arteries.
