About This Book

A practical, illustrated manual for young inventors that explains how to conceive, develop, and monetize mechanical, electrical, chemical, and electro-chemical inventions. It guides readers through idea generation, drawing and modeling techniques, experiment design, patent procedure, and building working prototypes, then addresses manufacturing, funding, forming companies, and marketing and selling inventions. Additional chapters suggest project ideas, survey notable inventions and their commercial outcomes, and summarize legal protections, fees, and terminology. Practical checklists, diagrams, and appendices support hands-on work and provide reference material for turning simple concepts into working, marketable devices.
