About this ebook
Most people like to think that they are inventors. Some of them like to dream about creating or inventing the next product that will solve a problem. Quite a number of people study Science because they want to change the world with a new discovery. Nikola Tesla wanted to improve the quality of life for mankind, so he invented.
This book is for the beginner who would like to invent something that will solve a specific problem. The book is also simple for any non scientific person to understand, if this person wants to test the inventing waters. The book also offers references to many websites where a beginner can visit for further information about the process of inventing.

I have taught High School Mathematics and Physics for the past twenty two years. I also taught part time SAT Mathematics for the last four years. In 2012 I became interested in inventing. Two of my designs are currently going through the process. In future I will explain their successes in another book. Because of my background in Physics, I was able to see the technical side of inventing. I currently have designs that can be built into a module that will dramatically increase the range of any Electric Vehicle. From Physics, I know that the principles are sound. These are basic principles that the Industry has overlooked and their research is currently going in another direction. In future I will develop my concept and I plan to have a working prototype to show the Electric Vehicle Industry. Also, I have designs that will be valuable to the Space Industry and the Military Industry. Sometime in future I would like to develop these for the benefit of the two Industries.

Inventing - Glen K. Dash
DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to the following persons:
My nephew Joel and niece Faith who both attend Elementary School.
My nephew Christon and niece Nathalia who both attend Secondary School.
My nephew Allan who is working in the industrial sector.
One evening Joel showed me three small toy animals which he always carries with him in his pocket. He referred to them as my animals.
I immediately realized that something as simple as educational toys, interesting story books, constructive games and progressive inventions can have positive and profound effects on children. This encouraged me to begin my new journey of inventing toys, games, products and technology to be used by children and adult around the world, which will benefit them. This also encouraged me to write self publishing books like this one. In future when my inventions are developed and begin to bear fruits, I will write another book to outline their successes.

PREFACE
I took up the challenge of inventing in 2012, so every time I got an idea I recorded it and if a diagram was required I made a detailed sketch of this diagram. Then I wrote a brief explanation of the idea and what it can do, what are the benefits and what problems it will solve. I was always on the look out for a new idea, a way to make a new product and a way to improve an existing product. I also looked out for something that will create a new market for consumers. I was always observing the products at the stores, the supermarkets, the tool stores and the retail outlets. While I was doing this I was also seeking ideas for businesses that are presently non existent. From then to now I have made sketches for more than two hundred ideas that can be made into products. These ideas can be considered as future inventions because they are about revolutionary new products, improvements to existing products and combinations of existing products into one final product. Every single one of these products will benefit the lives of people globally and I have done extensive research on the internet and in my country and have not seen any of my ideas around, even after five years. This means that all the good ideas have not been used up as yet. Imagine yourself in the early 1900s. The world view of the people back then was that there were no new discoveries to be made, no now ideas to explore and no new inventions to be made. Today the world would still be the same as the early 1900s if everyone embraced that philosophy and did nothing to improve the lives of people.
I have also made a list of more than fifty ideas for new businesses. Anyone can do this. It is simple. One needs to look at what is needed in the market, what can be improved in the market and what can be expanded in the market and then formulate a business plan. I will cover ideas to business in the next book.
Last year, I decided to turn some of my ideas into inventions, so I started to research online for ways to do this. I came across a wealth of information on the internet. There are some bogus websites and some crooked companies, so one has to be careful online. There are people and companies that will steal your ideas, mislead you and even start manufacturing your product without giving you one cent. After one year I have made only two submissions to reputable U.S. companies, because the vast array of information online was too overwhelming for me to digest in a few weeks or a few months. The entire process was new to me, so I had to slowly learn new concepts about the inventing and manufacturing industry. It is a totally new field for the newcomer and for the rookie inventor. It is like three entire reading courses at University: a course in Engineering, one course in Social Sciences and another course in Law. At the end of the online research one will grasp a better
