In these sections, are thoughts, concerns and philosophies covering
various topics in science, engineering and the inventing process

• Fringe Science and the Lone Inventor       Fringe science is some of my thoughts about good science that is poorly managed and bad science that can often fool someone.  I also discuss some of my personal experiences in dealing with inventors and some descriptions of actual "cutting edge" or   if you prefer "fringe" science projects on which I have worked.

• The Creative Person       My description of the creative person is a revision of an article I published years ago in the magazine "Midnight Engineering."

• Searching for New Ideas      Searching for new ideas is another revised article from "Midnight Engineering" that discusses some of the methods I have used to come up with new product ideas.

• Steps in Product Development      For those inventors who have developed a product or in the process of developing one, I have included some steps a product must go through to be successful.

• Ideas Lost and Found       The section discusses how patent laws can actually prevent an idea from ever becoming known to the world.

• I will be adding some information about inventors and the inventing process. Check What's New to see what has been added since your last visit.
