New Invention Corporation Part 2

You certainly have a very good idea. We have here in my country many "Incubation Centers" promoted and managed under the Central Government's Science & Technology department's guidelines. These incubation centers are run by mainly educational institutions. But these centers also have limitations of resources and have their own preferences.

Innovation & Invention is an evolutionary process and happens every where continuously. Many people get good ideas, work on them, bring about a change and remain happy in their work routine. The race starts only when the thought comes that the new idea can give benefits to others and it can be commercialized.

There is nothing wrong if you want your idea to give you good returns for all your troubles and tensions. But my advice to all inventors is to bear the efforts on own shoulders. The inventor is not in the invention business by an invitation.

This reminds me of a story told to me by my grand father who was an able administrator in a princely state in the British India. "The Maharaja (King) had two sons and decided to marry off his elder son on his 20^th Birthday. The younger son who was young by 10 years also demanded that he also be married off and threw tantrums. The Maharaja could do nothing but arrange marriage for both the sons. A year later the elder son became a proud father of a new born baby. The younger son again threw tantrums demanding that he also be made father of a new baby. The Maharaja had to patiently explain that to become a father the prince has to grow up, mature and then only he can father a child himself.

However, my own experience suggests that the moment your intent is established and people find you committed, help comes from all directions. My fabricator worked for me on "no-profit-no-loss" basis, I paid only for the materials consumed without any conversion cost. My engineering drawings were prepared by a professional engineer charging me just a token fee and working with me on my computer in my house for many days every evening. The automation engineers are providing services free and will only charge me when I book the first commercial order. The industrial unit where my prototype is put to production trials provides all infrastructures free including motive power, manpower, machine shop etc. and food and refreshment for me and my people.

All these people are running their highly successful businesses and are qualified experienced technocrats ready to help. However, they can't conceive and convert my idea into a commercially viable product. What ever problems I encounter only I have to find the solution. I may be getting expert advice and opinion but the decision is always mine. They don't decide, it is my dream and I have to bear the torch.

Very wise words

I thank you for taking the time I apprieciate what your saying . I think in the U.S. there pervades a belief of entitlement and everyone thinks they should be rich without the work and also there is little cooperation .With so many people determined to be rich there is little time for compassion ,giving and honesty.

I have made my living outside inventing with the same hard work and determination that I believe your alluding to .

It is in inventing that a different rule book applies.There is a culture of dishonesty and distrust that pervades our culture . There are ultra rich who hoard there resources and I am puzzled as to why a philanthropic entity has not established a system of developement to address the needs of inventors .I suppose it is reasonable to simply accept the burden of any money making venture as your own but a more balanced playing field would be a more fertile place for ideas to grow .

Would not Intellectual Property safeguards be a prerequisite ?

NASA TECH assistance for inventors is already available and if you do a google search, you will find the institutional associations you are talking about. Wis. and Minn. were the first few hits from my search.

NASA also has a magazine, in print and online, called NASA TECH BRIEFS that can lead any inventor into associations with assistance and protection. NASA even makes their facilities available for use to improve and prove an invention.

Thanks for you post
There many be some help availible I'll review those sites .As was the case with the Rowland institute at MIT sometimes the interest is in pure science ideas not for the general public ideas .I think your oversimplifing the issue sure a google search will reveal at least 100,000 possibilities all you need to do is get lucky and find the right one shouldn't it be a little more safe . But thanks again I will dillegently look into Nasa Tech

Sounds like you might just be on to something here! I am sure there is a lot of help from fellow CR4 bloggers on this subject. I am in the progress of starting a blog with CR4 and would like to mention your idea in it when the blog gets "up and running". Good luck!

Check in with the American Society of Inventors.

They are already doing something like this.

sound good I'll check out ASoI

It looks very promising at American Society of inventors I 'll see what they actually offer but it appears to be a very good resource .They apparently have confidential meeetings in Philidelphia .I had in mind a more hands on support such as a shop but they may infact
offer that as well .Thanks for a solid lead that I'll follow and report back .

I do agree with this idea, i've been disapointed when i turn up some ideas in fasteneing technology some time ago.Just because i dont have fund to develop this project. I need to work for a company and develop it, and i got only monthly salary.

If there are anyone support, life could be better.
