- 2. What is inventing? Inventing is a response to necessity, as can be described in the proverb “necessity is the mother of invention”. It is a evolutionary and collaborative process. Good inventions are simple. Good inventions have a widespread and long term impact. Complexity is only stable when built upon modular simplicity Inventors seek new solutions to problems Invention can have many forms Everyone has inventive capacity, find yours

- 14. Environmental Considerations Earth can be considered closed system. Is global climate change a prelude to a more severe set of circumstances? Will the over exploitation of natural resources such as arable land and oceanic fish result in a dire situation concerning food supply and mass extinctions? Does the earth have a certain ‘tolerance threshold’, if so, what are the indicators of the approach of this threshold? Is it possible that humankind can help undo the damage we have done? If so, how? If humans continue as we are will our great grandchildren pay the price, and in what form?
- 15. Sustainability Considerations The earths population is currently about 7 billion. The effect of human caused climatic variations are beginning to manifest, resulting in less arable land due to flooding or desertification. Freshwater is a precious commodity, and drinkable supplies are only 3% of all the water on earth. These resources are being threatened by pollution, excessive demand and climate change. Natural forest resources are not renewable, as are natural marine resources, amongst others. Oil based energy and raw materials are not replenishable, what happens when the price of oil becomes prohibitively expensive?
- 16. Economic Considerations What happens when petrol is R20 a litre? What happens when food is prohibitively expensive as a result? What would be the compounded effect of low food supply (due to global climate change) and continued high demand? Will the effect of rising energy costs effect the economies capacity for production? How soon will the economy suffer significantly in response to the above uncertainties? Can the manifestations of the above concerns be averted or reduced? Do we have options? YES WE DO!
- 17. Action is necessary. Now. Inventors around the world are coming up with new innovations every day, we are part of a new age, ‘The Environmental Technology Age’, or the ‘New Economy’. Our primary focus is creating new technology to deal with the challenges we are being faced with now (or will shortly). We have options, we need to address our future and current issues with new ways of thinking. If we don’t act now, the lives our children and grandchildren will be seriously compromised. So what can you do? It is our responsibility to make necessary financial allowances for the development of advancing technology for the sustainability of the future. Long term foresight is paramount to our prosperity in the near future and distant future.
- 18. Innovation is the key to prosperity Innovation can take many forms, and is not necessarily a ‘new’ invention. Innovations give us new solutions to old problems, and give us new problems that require new solutions. The point is we have options. Innovation may result in re-inventing or rethinking an existing technology. The effects of innovation often result in great financial rewards, beyond that of just the inventor. New innovations can have an effect for many 1000’s of years. Being involved with an innovator on a financial level is normally a high-risk/very high-reward investment, but is not always the case. Innovation is a growth industry, similar to the information age in the 80’s. Let’s make some history, right here in Pietermaritzburg! Innovation

Notas do Editor
- Good morning L&G, I am Chris, and I am here today to present Inventor Interests. I would like to keep it as brief as possible so please jot down your questions and comments.
- What is inventing?Necessity is the mother of invention, and can take many forms. It is a response to a problem. Good inventions are simpleComplexity (e.g car) is made up of many simple parts.Find your capacity to be inventive, So lets look at some keywords
- Inventors are often inventors of many different things, often inventors invent something at the same time, around the world at the same time.We still use all the inventions from this list of inventorsPat draper is a local south african, he helped me obtain some chemicals for my TEC
- Environmental Challenges due to mans influenceEconomic challenges due to environmental influenceSustainability challenges due to both and causing both economic and environmental consequences to worsenDownward spiral
- Environmental consequences will worsen before they improve The threshold is being approached, and has not yet been reached.After the threshold has been reached, the changes will be dramatic and rapidWe might be able to do something, with collaborative partnerships.
- We need to keep in mind the demands of 7 billion people – what do they eat, what do they drink, where do they live and is all of this sustainable?Non renewable resources are limited. We need to make other plans.Depending on oil for energy and raw products indefinitely is unrealistic
- When petrol gets to R20 rand a litre and the compound effect of food shortages due to global climate change will result in very high food prices.Energy costs also effect the whole economic equation, and as the price of energy rises, we can see that the cost of production goes up.
- We are entering a new age, called the Environmental technology age which will be a new economy, not dependent on fossil fuels.Inventors around the world are looking for new solutions to these problemsWe need to act fast and firmly to ensure future sustainability for our children and grandchildren. We need to give them new options.We need to make personal financial allowances to support local industry and inventors working on BRAND new technology .We need to have a collective paradigm shift in order to gain necessary foresight for our near and distant future.
- Innovation gives us new options to deal with new problems and old problems alikeInnovation does not necessarily mean new inventions, and can also mean new ways of thinkingThe Innovation Industry is currently a growth industry, as can be seen by such new programs to support innovators world wide – TRIZ, INPEX, INEM etcWe need more local supporters. Investment should be considered high risk/very high reward,Be part of history, today is the first day of the rest of your life.
- Make New Emerging TechnologyVery Ambitious plansParent company – Openseeds, Waste Technology, CED Mining Corporation, African Enterprise
- Blue hyperlinks will be coverred very brieflyOrder of PriorityPassive Car Cool patterns for sale at R30000 not including patent rights
- Converts Plastic and Biomass into hydrocarbon fuels, to be used for raw materials or fuel.Picture of depolymerisation ReactorRecyclingSmall scale, per household, per complex, per neighbourhood. Not large scale.Using local resources.
- Ambitious attempt to restore ozone layerWould be partaken by world authorities including the UNNo room for error as this might cause un foreseen circumstances, therefore high capital investment required for the contracting of super computers and experts in the fields.Simple chemistry involves the reaction of alkaline dust with halide ions to cause salts and precipitate as salt water snow and rain. Excess oxygen replenishes ozone. May have global cooling effect.
- This is my main project at the moment and am looking forward to getting further work done on production models.Uses thermally motivated electrochemistry to cause current in a closed endothermic/exothermic cyclic reaction.Small capital investment required. Can be manufactured in PMB for nation wide deployment
- Uses battery acid like properties of AMD to get electric energy, and in the process, causes electricity, useful bi products such as metal and hydrogen, but the main objective is that it creates clean waterWas a feature article in international mining industry weekly magazine this year on 21st JanuaryTo my knowledge at least 3 universities around the world are doing research yet only one has asked for permission
- Has been recognised internationally as an interesting new option for earthquake proof architecture. TRIZ in Korea might be building a 1/10th scale replica, about 3 meters high to demonstrate proof of concept.A friend of mine and I are trying to build a 1/20th scale model, however need some help from an interested third party.
- My first real invention. First conceived as a competition entry in readers digest in 1988.Great velocity of cycling cases causes very high RPM, up to 60000rpm in a 1 litre model. Very efficient for two reasons:High pressure operationLow loss of energy from the system due to sound and heat.Engine only, has back burner depending on type of fuel, solid, liquid or gas.
- It is important to support local innovators, the rewards can be very great.It is difficult for me to access all the necessary resources without collaborative partnerships Many challenges are faced on a daily basis, the main one is taking an idea into reality.We must try to remember the brain drain in South Africa will not help, We need to make the most of our human capital, including inventors, as not doing so may lead to skill shortages.
- High Risk/ Very high RewardsMaybe Billions in some casesROI is realised at different intervals depending on the innovationNot all capital investments need to be large, increments can be applied on a productivity basisHow much would an investment in Microsoft be worth today if one invested in 1980?The information age has plateaued and the environmental technology age is in its infancy
- Please look on your seat, there are is an Expression of interest form, should you require further information on anything you saw in this presentationPMB has all the infrastructure, skills and raw materials to build some of the technologies on a commercial scale. We need to look at reducing unemployment and crime. Here is a opportunity to make a real difference. Investing early means you get the biggest piece of the pie.Now is a good time to ponder things, and get back to me once you have a conclusion.
- Once off art work, printed on vinyl in an glass and aluminium frame. Help me develop some of my work and raise awareness for green technologies.
