Patents, Prototypes, Manufacturing, and Marketing New Inventions
Invention ideas for students and ways to come up with new product ideas. Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door... Ralph Waldo Emerson How to get new ideas They say that the mother of invention is necessity.
I've found that to be true over my 40 years or so of being an inventor.
Another way of putting it is; find a need and fill it. So the best time
to think of an invention might be that moment when you are thinking to
yourself “I wish there was an easier way to do this”. At that moment
stop and think of all the possible ways the task could be made easier or
eliminated. Get creative - Use your imagination! One thing I like to do when I discover a task that
I find tiresome or boring or difficult, is to imagine the wackiest crazy
ways of solving the problem. This often leads to interesting ways of
doing things. It never hurts to use your imagination. Imagination is
like a muscle, the more you use it the easier it gets. Imagination is
tied to creativity. If you can't imagine something then I can guarantee
you that you won't create it. First you have to imagine it, and then
you can bring it to reality. I've compiled a list of interesting invention
ideas…maybe something on the list will spark you imagination and lead to
that one-in-a-million idea that becomes a real invention. List of new invention ideas New kind of toothbrush Example of wild
idea: Develop an ultrasonic transducer to clean your teeth like those
ultrasonic cleaners used by jewelers. Pop it in your mouth with some
water and hold for 30 seconds…. Stay-Open-Freezer Bags Put wires in the
plastc bag about where the zip lock thingy is so you could bend the
wires to hold the bag open while filling with soup or whatever. Audio Sneakers Build audio circuitry into
kids shoes so when you take a step the shoe makes a sound such as Clip-Klop,
or squish squish, and make a few selectable sounds. Diaper Alert: Make diapers change color when
they get wet, so you don't have to poke your finger in to see if it is
wet and needs changing. Iphone amplifier: Create a case for the
iphone that has an amplifier so you can easily hear your Iphone without
having to hold it up to your ear. Selective Vegetable Harvester: There are no
vegetable harvesting machines that harvest only the ripe vegetables.
Tomato harvesters rip up the whole plant. Machines are needed for just
about any fruit too. Harvesting machines are needed for apples,
oranges, pears, peaches, broccoli, eggplant, cauliflower, etc. The only
selective vegetable harvester that's close to being marketable is my
selective asparagus harvester but it isn't on the market yet.

would make it easy to find the end of the tape and to cut it off where
you want it. Teflon tape used in plumbing is a real pain to use. What do I do after my great idea? Once you've had that brilliant idea, then what to
do? Well there are several things that need to be done
but in what order is difficult to determine ahead of time. In some
cases your first step would be to build a prototype. This would tell
you if it could be made economically and how well it works. For other
inventions you might want to check first to see if it is already
patented. I recommend using Google's patent search service. With some ideas you would want to find out first if
there was even a market… if no one wants it then why bother? If it's a really good idea, and people want it, and
you can't find anything like it by doing a patent search on Google, then
the next step would be to have a professional patent search done by a
reputable patent attorney. It will cost you about $500, but it's worth
every penny.
