Have you ever invented anything?

    And actually patented it? Was it successful?

    I've thought of a few original things, but none seemed worth the cost of patenting it.

    Nope, I've never invented anything. The only thing I know how to invent is creating new sites.

    I invented a Knex machine that throws the Knex back in the box when you put it in the hopper. The problem was I used all of the knex i had making the machine.

    Very true! And I think all we can do is protect it with a copyright.

    Never invented anything yet and I doubt I will because I guess I am not creative enough.

    I never really invented anything productive, but I usually copy another great idea and make it better :).

    I invented couple of addons for plastic injection molding machines but never made any patents for this or something. I always sold those innovations and improvements to companies that are making plastics. It is interesting I almost always made new things when I was high :D Now that I don't smoke it anymore for couple of years I have difficulty to come up with some technical improvements or innovations ;)

    I did for a company I worked for a while ago... They therefore owned all rights. Funny thing was I got to name it, and called it the DR-91. Sounded enough like a mundane id number for a boring machine, but it actually stood for Dennis Rodman, who happened to be #91 on the Bulls at the time. LOL

    This;

    http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=erkZffCEk98

    Don't have the money to pursue it at the moment though, need to fund a freelancer to do the CAD work then get quotes for manufacturing and transportation from China.

    Part of the reason I'm trying to learn how to make money with the web, actually, but after 100$ adwords charges and only 40$ back on clickbank I'm really starting to think I'm not doing it right.

    Eh.

    I once invented a portable food carrier. It fell apart and ruined a good day's vacation.

    No patent. Just special tools to use around the house. Things I invent would probably be of no use to anyone else :(

    I had thought of this sweat gutter thing to be worn under your helmet when biking.


    ...I wasn't the first though and soon found it on the market. :rolleyes:
