The inventor of the Saxophone, Adolphe Sax, was unusually accident-prone. He fell from great heights many times; suffered severe burns; ate a pin; accidentally drank acid; took a nap in a room full of varnished furniture and inhaled toxic fumes; was in a gunpowder explosion; and nearly drowned several times. His neighbors nicknamed him
"little Sax the ghost," and his mother worried that he would not survive into adulthood.

Good Morning #Canada
A Canadian inventor gave Mothers across North America a device that was beneficial and a little scary. We are, of course, talking about the Jolly Jumper, once referred to as "the Canadian Nanny" on a 1957 CBC broadcast. Susan Olivia Poole (1889–1975) was an Indigenous Canadian inventor who created the Jolly Jumper in 1910, but it was not until 1948 that they were produced for the retail market, and patented in 1957. They continue to be manufactured in Ontario by the company that purchased the rights in 1960.

6,000 Patents Hidden By The Government | U.S. Invention Secrecy Act

Short video: https://octade.net/urls/6000_patents.html

In 1998, Stanley Meyer claimed to invent a car that ran on water. Days later, he was dead—and his invention disappeared. But Meyer wasn't the only one. There’s a federal law, still active today, that allows the U.S. government to classify and bury private inventions deemed a “threat.” It's called the Invention Secrecy Act—and it's already been used over 6,000 times.

From Nikola Tesla’s wireless energy to Townsend Brown’s anti-gravity tech to Joseph Papp’s engine that ran on noble gases, history is littered with breakthrough inventors who vanished into obscurity... and whose technologies never made it to the public.

This episode uncovers the case studies, the hidden power of secrecy orders, and the chilling question: What else have they buried?

August is National Inventor’s Month and we’re celebrating The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. This Netflix film is based on the true story of William Kamkwamba, whose creativity, persistence and courage as a schoolboy provided a solution to devastating drought for his family and eventually many others in his country of Malawi and beyond.

We offer a Discussion Guide and a Curriculum Guide with classroom-ready lessons for this film, to make it easy to work with in different settings. Students can learn more about wind power and the physics of generating electricity, as well as lessons in English Language Arts, Social Studies, Film Studies and more. These are powerful resource to inspire young inventors in your classroom!

🚀🤦‍♂️ Ah, the riveting saga of "Prolly Trees," where every basement philosopher thinks they're Newton, reinventing the wheel of discovery... again! 😂 But don't worry, it's all just a social experiment to prove that #inventors are just the universe's copy-paste function. 🤓🔄

In a recent project he estimates the #costs associated with #firms reallocating #inventors to #NewTechnologies and finds significant allocation frictions which increase the cost of aggregate innovation by 100s of Billions of dollars:
