| Invent! |
So you want to be and inventor? You can; and you
will if you are aware of whatever is around you and a
day comes you are aware of a specific happening and
ask yourself, why can't it be done differently, more
easily, faster, better? The question is the "seed" of
something you or someone will eventually have a
solution to your question.That someone should be
YOU for obvious reasons being the first to identify
what is it that needs a solution. Success in producing
the solution is INVENTING.
Having an "idea", the seed, requires much thought
and all the activities necessary to "develop" your
invention. Money is so very important in almost every
case, and many inventions remain suspended for lack
of money.
Avoid this being YOU...push hard, don't give up on a
good idea. I did this. Yes, me.
While attending college at the Univ. of Portland, I
also worked the swing shift, 3:00-11:3o pm. at United
Airlines On awful night of rain and fog visibility was
ZERO and unsafe for flying. The airport was closed to
take-offs and landings for 2.5 hours. When the word
came down to our dispatchers that the field was open
flying, I along with the flight crews walked out into a
drizzle of rain and I said to myself, "This is crazy, it
still looks ZERO to me."
Watching the activities before take-offs my took off
in frenzy, expecting planes taking off crashing into
those landing....so many we scheduled. There should
be something I said to myself to indicate to pilots of
these planes that danger is raising it's devastating
head and at the last moment the "something" would
alert them to veer away from the danger which is
another plane trying ti share the same air space. The
"something" was the seed of an invention.
Unfortunately I was a student in the day, and busy
servicing planes in and out of the terminal. I could
read, and did every chance I had about inventions
where....every author warned about people stealing
inventive ideas from people who did not keep their
idea a very close secret.
The next day I had the "idea", solution so simple. As
I stood waiting for my flight to service taxiing in
toward me with my Supervisor alongside, I said,
"What's that?" "What's what?" he responds. I said
"Our plane with lights on its wings and belly." "Oh,
that", he said, "Some guy just invented that the
Pilots Association insisted that flashing lights be
installed on ALL aircraft!" I was sick and
disappointed it happened exactly one year to the day
of the night I had witnessed the birth of my idea.
The second and more stupid I felt when having had
the idea 14 years before it was invented by, "yes",
someone else. I had 14 years to work on it. "Someone
will steal it." is one reason I failed....my college
school mate graduated a year before me as an
engineer. I trusted him and him alone with my idea.
He was to develop it, we were in a partnership.
Unfortunately, I left Portland a month after
I had the idea, observing construction of a growing
downtown Portland bulding already 25 stories tall.
It was comical as I stood across the street from this
ONE CONCRETE truck loading ONE small, to me,
bucket of concrete being pulled up 25 stories, up and
down, up and down. The idea immediately hit me,
"Why can't they PUMP concrete using a hose as done
with OIL?" I asked my engineer friend at his home
that night. After deliberating for 5 minutes he told
me, "OK, the reason they don't do it is because of the
gravel in the mix. It would wear out the hose quickly
and become too expensive." I told him, "Stan, this is
an invention we're talking about. Work on it." Every
night for my final months in Portland I asked for a
progress report..."too busy today" "no time" etc. for
14 years. I was NOT going to let anyone "steal" the
idea, so told no one else, ever.
How dumb was that? Don't you ever stop on your
idea!
Flashing lights all over the city, in the air, on the seas,
in and out of places.....together with concrete PUMP
trucks everywhere there is construction In the
WORLD reminds me opportunities lost. But then, I
tell people, "I should be glad to be alive because with
so much wealth I may have gone into 'wine,women
and song' and expired."
"Someone's going to invent an easier way to get these
basketball nets installed....from the ground." I said to
myself as I was up on the ladder installing a net on a
very sunny hot day on school cocurts in Hawaii where
I was a Physical Education teacher. Immediately after
retiring, I went back to play tennis at the school and
stopped the talk to a group of my ex-students sitting
along the court's fence watching a game in progess.
I asked why were they sitting and watching a no
special attraction they responded that since I retired
only one court had nets installed. The other 3 went
unused. I made sure, klling myself" that as long as I
was teaching there every court would have nets
installed for the kids....I was a basketball player my
entire life and never enjoyed playing basketball
without a net on goal.. I hated it.
At that moment I thought to myself, I guess that
someone I thought about on the ladder 10 years ago
inventing a way to install nets from the ground level
would have to be me. Well, folks, I did invent my
Redi-Net and had it patented in the U.S, and all the
larger countries of the world where basketbal was
surely played.
Lost one, was on TV before I could be the inventor. It
was the digital measuring device.
I have 4 inventions pending.....two I use and two in
development stage. Hey, think Inventing is fun..and
can get you into high finance if you put in the time
and energy to see in MADE. Then you will have it
made without doing amy more for the rewards.
Money.
Please contact me about anything relative
to inventions. Ask any question and for help
and information to get you started. It is not
difficult.
