Have you ever come up with an idea and
thought..."Wow" I should invent this, and make a lot of money?
My father has told me many times
that he had thought of roller blades long before they hit the big time - he
always beats himself up over the fact that he missed this golden
opportunity. I have always kept the
secret from him that I had seen the same skates in a museum many years ago and
were famous long before my father was even born.
This is National Inventor's Month. It was changed to May from the original month
of August to better align with the academic calendar. To get in all the ideas before the end of the
school year in other words. Recently I
was reading about a young inventor on yahoo.
The story is enclosed below:
A teenager from Saratoga,
California took home one of the top prizes at the Intel International Science
and Engineering Fair late last week after showing off her invention, which can
fully charge a cell phone in 30 seconds or less. Eesha Khare was given the
Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award and a $50,000 prize for being runner-up
in the competition, which was won by a 19-year-old who unveiled a new spin on
self-driving car technology. Khare’s battery technology requires a new
component to be installed inside the phone battery itself, and Intel notes that
it also has potential applications for car batteries.
I have always heard that
Invention is the Mother of Necessity.
This month is your chance. If you
have any ideas that would make a part of your life a little easier or better, get
started on it. Here is a site where you
can check into ways on how to start your invention: http://signup.inventionhome.com/invention-full.asp?source=g-ih&campaign=s-invention-d&group=invention&term=inventions&ad=24184736402&placement=&network=g&match=e&pi_ad_id=24184736402&gclid=CJH-isLIrbcCFYJi7AodqhoArg
