Help designing a thing

There are many companies that can provide you a quote for product development. It will really help if you can provide sketches of what you're looking for, as well as a description. If you can provide a full specification document, that's even better. If you don't have any of those, see if you can find a place that specializes in helping inventors with CAD design and modeling. They'll be more used to quoting and modeling a job with limited information.

Many thanks for a sensible answer to what was a silly question born out of frustration at the plethora of such questions by posters who seem to think we are psychic and will know their application just because they happen to know it.

Yes it is me, and I think I've been a baaad kitty..... again

I have been trolled (IHBT), eh? Sorry, in my line of work, I see a lot of requests like this. Everyone is a potential customer, so it helps to approach everyone that way. 'Inventors' are an interesting group, they usually want to come in and consult with someone on their project. It's amazing the range of development of their ideas. I'm always glad to see when one of them has "made it". I don't think many people have a good estimate for how much work and money it takes to develop an idea into a profitable product. Fewer still seem to understand that there are few turnkey companies, and they'll have to coordinate with a designer, prototyping company, manufacturer, marketer, and perhaps even retail stores.

On another note, is the number of questions from India very high? This morning, most requests seem to be from there... And most fall into the class that has contributed to your frustration.

I like cats, you can fit them into blenders.......

SARDINES??!!?? Del, is that you????

I have your solution, but I won't tell you what it is, how much it costs, or where to buy it. ;-)

I hope you've checked for patents......

Ha, excellent.

Rather than the hand crank I was considering a motor...I have a DC motor from a vibrator pager and a nuclear engine appropriated from an old submarine.

I want to form an idea as to which is more appropriate but it is unclear .

Pleas send full CAD drawings for the Salmon Can immediately.

Del, and Hero, you are funny guys. Very funny and silly guys. I'm a silly guy. That's the ultimate complement, buy the way. SARDINES? You want me to tell you wher to put the sardines?

Yup, you're silly. ;-)

Well I have the designs you want, the other parts are here and the cat will thank you for the sardines. But I'm not going to tell you where to come get them.

Dear guest,

I looked at your message through a cristal ball (i had a long discussion about cristals last days) and i saw what your idea is! it is simply fantastic. It will work and i wish good luck.

I am a student in need a third year design project. Please tell me all details of your thing.
