I was reading a sci-fi series about a post apocalyptic world based on nanotechnology used as WMD by Hugh Howey ( free if you are enrolled in Kindle's unlimited plan). Very interesting series but I guess I was unaware of the applications for the use of nanotechnology today so I decided to Google...

It looks like it could be patented and has the potential to be a huge commercial success after doing some crude marketing research, but I have no money to go through with the patenting process. I'm afraid to discuss this idea with lawyers or just about anyone since I think they may steal it from...

I just saw a brief segment on the news about Dean Kamen's latest invention called the Luke Arm, named after Luke Skywalker. I gotta run out now but somebody please find out more!!

Ok, I was thinking it would be cool if you could create an anti-balloon. By which I mean the equivalent of a balloon, but containing a vacuum and thereby being bouyant in the atmosphere. I wonder if this is possible with today's high tech materials. My first thoughts were something along the...

What do you think is the most needed invention of the present age - something that is realistic but hasn't been designed yet, and it has to have a huge impact on the way people live. I think something in the area of alternative energy like fusion would be the most important. That and trying to...

I have a new idea for an invention. It is a cyclical gravity greenhouse liquid capillary action energy generator. The idea is the device uses the same ammount of liquid over and over again due to evaporaton, condensation and capillary acton to generate electricity. It works like an oil wick...

Does anyone else read "American Heritage of Invention & Technology" magazine?? American Heritage publishes a fascinating quarterly magazine that I stumbled onto in my junior year in college (I think that being a student member of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) somehow entitled me...
