I'm working on a flux capacitor but am having a problem getting the lighting to strike just right.

I'm always making something that I can buy but it's cheaper to make.

If you borrow RSP's golf club stud guard thingy, that could help with the lightning thing.

I have a couple of tools in mind, not going to discuss them on here, I just need to figure out how to bring them to market, I know they would sell like hotcakes. I have no prototypes yet, there just good ideas. It would only take money to bring them to market which I don't have right now, and not sure how much it takes to do such a thing.

Takes about $6K for 1 patent. The tricky part is coming up with all of the spin-offs and variations of your product so that it can't easily be duplicated. History has shown that the original inventor usually gets screwed over and makes someone else rich off of his idea. Thomas Edison said: "Inventing is 2% inspiration and 98% perspiration"

If your idea takes off, big companies will take notice quickly. They will initially offer to simply buy your patent (usually for peanuts) so that they can take off with it. If that doesn’t work, they simply put a team of engineers and lawyers together to change a few nuts and bolts to the point that they can call it something different and legally get the patent. They will then produce as many improved and/or variant designs as they can and patent those to. Your original concept is left in some obscure place in history and they make the coin.

History is littered with cases like this.

I saw a small drain machine with a jetter hose and nozzel on end under the blade running thru the cable at the CLEANER show in Nashville a few yrs back ,but it seemed to dissappear.Did anyone else see it ?It looked great but I bet way too many guys kinked the cable and we all know what happened next?? Just remembering eddie

I'd like to see some really high tech storage and shelving units designed for specific makes of vans. I know they make the steel ones. I'm talking super duty plastic like a pelican case is made from. Stanley makes some good plastic divided box's,I use them for various things and are almost gorilla proof. I've thrown 40 and 50 gal gas water heaters on them without damage. I'm trying to lighten the load as gas prices are a big expense of mine. Repair is a constant juggle of parts and equipment and a super organized van is a van making money....or it should be!
