Ideas

[Oldman]

I have a strange way of looking at things. Over the year's I've come up with many ideas that various companies incorporated into there products.  The last one was a system to bust the patient of the Host Liberator. It was patented by Interface, a billion dollar year company.

Well I got another idea that will turn the vacuuming industry on its ear. I've figured out how to create vacuum cleaner that will bust both Interface and Host's patents.

Once I tie it to a twin cylinder machine it will out preform the best that is currently on the market by a factor of at least 3X if not more.

This one I'm going to patent for myself. When I do I know a host of companies that will come knocking at my door.

Currently with the closing of all of the Re:Source stores Interface no longer makes their unit. That leave only the Host Liberator and Host FreeStyle units.

These things are expensive. The Liberator goes for $4,000.00 a copy and only has a 15" working area. The FreeStyle is $3,200.00 and has only 12" working area. Mine will have a 20" area. Its performance increase will come more from the brush design than the extra 5" in width. [8D]

Plus it has design features I cannot get into at this time that will save the operator monies and it will pass the most stringent EPA requirements a hundred fold. It will be the most "Green" vacuum machine in the world.... [:D]

I know of one huge major player in my industry that has 3 working prototypes of various designs and they cannot get them past the Host's patents. They are so frustrated that they are considering challenging the Host patents. Personally I think that is kind of foolish.  There are many companies in that same boat with them. [:p] I should have a working model within the next 2 to 3 months... [^]

What is even funnier than trying to challenge a patent is that all of these companies with their R&D Departments and deep pockets will crap in their pants once it is known that my first prototype for the most part was made with over the counter parts. I will have to hand craft some of it. [;)]

I may not get rich off of it, but it sure will add a bunch of potato chips to my retirement.  Speaking of retirement I have an idea I've played around with for the past 27 years--on and off. When I retire I'm going to put that one together. When I first came up with this idea only part of the technology that was needed was available at that time. Today this is not an issue.

How about a way to tenderize, let's say a chuck steak uniformity without chemicals and the texture is not altered to touch... How about a chuck steak that has all of the  characteristic of a first class Rib Eye???? Or the Eye of a Round Steak that of a Filet Mignon~~! [:0]

Yepper I'm sure going to enjoy my retirement...

OLds-I was listening to the local news here in Victoria BC and there is some guy who owns a carpet cleaning business from here who has been down in New Orleans since Katrina with a machine he invented. It takes most of the mud and grit out of quality carpets prior to cleaning.(?) Apparently he was at a trade show in Las Vegas shortly before katrina hit where a carpet guy from Louisiana saw his demo. This guy phoned him and asked him to come down and help out and he's been there ever since. Does this make him a carpetbagger? [:D] Sorry, that has to be an old joke for guys in your business...

Old,
 I always like hearing about what you have been and are involved in. You have a lot of experience and knowledge. I don't like saying good luck but God be with you.

Thanks for the idea that it was in  the vacuuming industry on its ear.

I think the word retirement will apply pretty loosely to you Raye!  ;) :D

Go for it Raye! Take no prisoners, and if you can make an eye of round into a filet...the world will be your oyster! (sheesh...too many mixed metaphors)
