Why do you want to know? Do you want to look around in my basement?

if you have some inventions that fit my purpose , then yes, i would like to look in your basement . but a site like that would help me build my ideas , and also put that invention to work which would help the inventor get something for it instead of gathering dust in the basement!

A site "...that houses inventions that need an application like silly putty, or ferro fluid"

How about The Museum of Unworkable Devices?

How many henways do you have in your basement, redfred?

Not that I am aware of. Generally it is a matter of reading the various scientific and engineering news sites for breaking technological developments and coming up with ideas yourself, or reading the product development and emerging technology websites (such as Gizmag) for new products and concepts.

You could also check the patent websites and search engines (try an internet search for patent), but just be aware that just because a patented idea exists does not mean it works or is practical in any way (ICBM city protection using giant soap bubble dome covered in grit anyone).

I thank you, for addressing the topic with a serious note , this is a real building in los angeles ca. it has in it some of the weirdest gadgets and materials assembled under one roof , there is nothing secret about it , in fact it was on a television program that devoted and entire hour to nothing else but the items in this building . and at the end of the program it had and address and email of how to get in contact with the company which houses these items! the actual last statement of the program was "So if you have a crazy idea or would like to brows through the many items that they have, please email or call them, who knows they might have something to help your idea or your idea could help them"

English seems to be your second language but that is fine here in CR4. It's just that I don't understand what you are after. Is it that you want to look in other inventors cellars and then promote the dust collectors?

Or is that that you have some new gadget that you would like to promote? Here is what can happen if you are new to inventing and marketing:

You will have to see a patent attorney. He will tell you to patent anything, just to keep his job. =$

Then contact inventors help groups who will get your product to the market, just to keep their jobs. =$

Go to business workshops and seminars. They will send you an invitation to a $600 day out, not including drinks, just to keep their jobs.=$

Then go to government grant sites they will tell you that you might be the next to get a grant, just to keep their jobs.=$

If you still have your partner, kids, house, car after that and have some dollars to spare on an idea you must be like many others out there. Slaves to ideas, like my self.

My friend, where ever you are, this is a steep learning curve and think twice before you commit to any thing, even to start such an adventure at all. Keep your day job if you are only testing the waters.

Search CR4 for inventions threads. Worth a country mile! =Free

Good luck, Ky.

actually i do have a couple off patents already , or should i say patent pending , i have been through the patent gauntlet and have a learned that its not worth the paper or the trouble unless its earth shaking . however , a pending patent is harder to infringe upon,you can adjust it as you go, or sell the idea to a company that monkeys work at. its the product giving the inventor a better idea or the inventor giving the product a different application , like playing pool , on the break ,the Que ball is the idea and the rack is all of the ideas that are created from the one beginning action. i think that this type of imagery is easier for those you that hide behind your imaginary avatars that need toilet paper with instructions!

LynDoor Industries™ Medicated Paper (patent pending). We're making TONS of money off of this. As you say, there are many customer candidates, but none has been sold to a CR4 member to date. You have grossly underestimated the forum.

And, my avatar is quite real, thank you.

well its better feed back than the rest of the (elite minds) which commented on this subject. some are more interested in the spelling check and toilet paper! i was hoping for more but , i got what i expected; at least you put some effort sending the diagram and from the looks of it ( because i can only make out some of the components) judging from the rare earth magnets configuration, it looks like a type of bandini / motor/ generator. using alternating fields. However this is off the house of inventions topic , i am looking for a specific item and while i was working i did get feed back from general motors. i am currently waiting for the name of the substance which they know about , they were very helpfull, since they already know that i am not a crack pot, with a pipe dream and have plenty of back up and references , they were more than happy to help me. i am a manufacturer of automotive parts and machines i came on this sight for research and connections however the level of communication is a bit dissappointing

You really need to explain your question in more detail if you want more detailed answers, otherwise we are left with guessing exactly what you are after or making potentially erroneous assumptions.

I am still not sure if you are (still) after contact information on the actual building you mention in Los Angeles (CA), or if you are after more general information on current research and developments (which I have already answered to some extent in Post #4)?

You should have just said that you are looking for a museum and that you would like to be the curator.

does anyone know the site ,company or organization that houses inventions that need an application like silly putty, or ferro fluid

I mean, what do you expect after such an introduction? All over the place, like a crazy persons poo and then turn obnoxious at the drop of a hat.

Have a couple on me.
