ProtoType This - Fighting Robots
Prototype This is a great new programme on the Discovery Chanel which shows the entire process of developing a product design into a manufactable solution.
They do this by making a model quickly using Rapid Prototyping to discover if the product will work!! Check it out!
Rare self-rolling giant snow balls found in UK
Have a look at these babies!
"Also known as snowrollers, snow bales and snow doughnuts, they form mostly in unusual conditions created by a precise combination of snow, ice, wind, temperature and moisture on the prairies of North America.
But this week's frozen weather has allowed the snow cylinders to make a freak appearance in the UK."

Where can you go to learn how to get your product to market?

There are inventors clubs all over the country: Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham to name a few. But what do you find there?
To my mind there are elite groups of sharks, charatans and parasites that wish to take over your Intelectual Property. These rings are not unlike being passed from one adviser to another at Business Link.
All the time somebody is making a commission!! Ching ching.
My advice:-
1. Reasearch your market carefully.
2. The internet is your best friend. It never tells on you when you ask it questions regarding your product or invention.
3. Write a business plan!! - they dont tell you how to do this at the inventors clubs (",)
4. Make carefull notes and strategy on how to procede.
The business plan is the single most important aspect of any product related endeavour!!
