Has anyone here Invented anything?
 

Are there any inventors here?

Any advice you would give yourself, if you could start over?

What are some good sites for newbie inventors?

I have several patents, so I guess that would call me an inventor.

Well, I was an investor in an invention that should have prevented me from ever working again.

My advice: Realize when it is time to pass tasks along to the professionals. You can't do it all yourself.

Not necessarily. Depends on the patent.

This post answers your second :2 cents:

Don't use any Invention company no matter how good they sound. "Everyone of them are scam companies.."

Use a Patent Attorney or an Agent and be sure you do your homework before you spend any money at all.

I've got a Perpetuum Mobile prototype in the attic, just waiting for the energy crisis to escalate... then I'm gonna rake in the dough!


On a serious note & back on topic: my tip has already been posted I think, but; be semi-paranoid about Your stuff - hush *extremely* until You have a proper patent.

I invented the peanut butter and ketchup sandwich. It's gonna be HUGE!!!

I've made a peanut butter and mustard sandwich before, I know it sound weird, but my Dad said he made them as a kid and it wasn't that bad

Well, scratch that one off my list then.

My great grandfather invented the "demountable" tire rim for the automobile. Obviously this was in the 1800's.

AlienQ invented most of the adult internet as we know it...

yea never tell anyone your ideas..

The guy who invented the "Super Soaker" squirt gun was an appliance repair man. He got his idea when working on a refrigerator compressor.

He went around for years trying to get his product going. Then he became FILTHY rich!

Remember those little swivel connectors for your corded phones?

A patent attorney invented that little swivel device to prevent your phone cord from getting tangled.

One day he was on his phone at his desk and he was reaching for something and his phone cord knocked over his coffee and it went all over his desk.

He got so pissed that he started trying to figure out how to avoid that. He ended up making MILLIONS from that little idea.

I invented the dutch oven. I swear I did it first.

Hot Carl

Imagine, you are just one idea away from being stinking rich and very powerful.

I invented the official automated Nose Picker!

My mistake I mean I married one:(:disgust

haha .. :1orglaugh

Try reducing the size of your political sig, it's as annoying as Ralph.

internet, invented i did.

Almond Stroger invented the Stroger Switch which enabled people to dial telephone numbers directly without having to go thru the operator.

He did it because he was a mortician and was convinced that the operator was sending his potential business to his competition.

I saw a girl driving a Corvair when I was in San Francisco a couple weeks ago. The body looked great.


















the car wasn't bad either

I invented the question mark

I had a 1965 Corvair 500 coupe 20 or so years ago .. leaked oil like crazy but was a fricken blast .

I invented the peanut butter and horseradish sandwich when I was 12, and wanted something familiar, but spicy.

Don't do that.

great tip!

yeah, you posted it last night when we cybered

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876. The first words he spoke on his telephone were, "Watson, come here. I need you." Watson was his assistant's name.

That happened in 1875-76. However Antonio Meucci had a working telephone since 1848 in Havana and a perfected model by 1871. On that year Meucci filed for and obtained a patent(caveat #3335) for the telephone. To say that Bell invented the telephone is erroneous. Meucci invented it. The unfortunate thing about Meucci is that he did not renew the caveat 3335 for lack of money. Had he renwed it, Bell would not have been granted a patent. Bell knowing the facts applied and was granted a patent. Bell is not the inventor. He simply commercialized what had been invented by Meucci and made a fortune whereas Meucci died poor and destitute..

AlienQ invented inventing :2 cents:

Is that AlienQ?

Its because of my (lack of) english i guess that i dont understand what you mean? Any pics?

Great advice.

I don't recall anyone saying Bell invented the telephone in this thread, besides you.
