Like most inventors, I live in hope of a business angel
or venture capitalist to come along to fund R+D for the ideas below. If
you are reading this, do not hesitate, fill in the Confidentiality
Agreement at the bottom of this page and get in touch today . .
However,
it is more realistic to assume that patent finance may never come along, and most
inventions -some crazy, but also many potentially effective ideas - die a lonely
death. I am beginning to release some ideas to anyone who wishes to use them.
Chiefly, the Outboard Motor Pump, which
is for use in flood clearance, but also the Phoenix Bike Stand (below).
I
use reciprocal links with World Business Review:
I am developing
a double film, flexible sail, using a Class 5 land yacht as a platform. The Mark
I sail (a sailboard sail, on speedwheels base) returned times 7% faster than an
identical conventional sail.
Mark 2 was out at Brean Sands last year. The
design is simple and light, with a minimum of moving parts. It performs brilliantly
in moderate winds, and like a dog in light winds. The failure in light winds is
due to the flexible nature of the Class 5 mast. It needs to be applied to a stiff
mast, but I need a collaborator - rigger and sailmaker - to work with in order
to take it further.
Since the design has effectively been published by
sailing openly on Brean bsands, it cannot be patented. I am therefore able to
share the design with any seriously interested party free of cost - although acknowledgement
would be necessary.
Would anyone be interested in discussing and/or collaborating
in the project?
This is work in progress, and the Beta
version is upon the web. Unfortunately I cannot get at the web to further the
work. We suspect there is a problem at Tiscali, but they are slow in answering
calls for help. Maybe this notice will speed them up.
It will enable users
to log on, enter their symptoms and medical history, to receive an assesment and
self management advice. It will advise when to call the doctor.
The
Phoenix bicycle maintenance stand
This developed
invention turns your Folding workstand (e.g. the black and Decker Workmate) into
a clamp to hold your pushbike steady during maintenance operations.
It
involves cannibalising an old bicycle and adapting the pieces to fit onto the
workstand. Produces a stand that would cost £400 in the shops. Makes bike
maintenance a sheer pleasure.
