Obviously being an entrepreneur is rewarding and exciting for many people. Fine for them, but managing people, money, and business strategy never appealed to me. I was always so absorbed in searching for the solution to a knotty problem, or creating something new, that diverting my attention to exploiting previous ideas invariably took a back seat. At age 75 it has come to my attention that I am not immortal. More and more I think of the trail I've traveled that is littered with old but good ideas. Also, there are ideas lying around in my head that no one knows exist. It galls me to think of carrying all this baggage to my grave. After reviewing my inventions, you may say that the world would be better off it my ideas were buried with me, but don't ask me to agree with you.

IMPORTANT: My inventions are free for anyone or any company to exploit in any way they wish as long as my name is displayed as the original inventor in all printed or media material. The ideas may or may not be practical, they have not been checked for prior art, and they have not been assessed for safe use. These things must be the responsibility of those wishing to exploit them.  

It will be to the exploiter's advantage to inform me of their intentions so I can serve as a clearing house for a particular idea. With permission of all parties concerned, I will keep interested people in touch with each other.

If one of my ideas should make someone filthy rich, I would be careful not to embarrass them by refusing any compensation they may feel in their heart to donate.  

I will add to the list as I find time to write about them. For list of inventions click Free Invention List.
