Popular Science Invention Awards
Do you have an invention you KNOW will someday change the world? Have you been toiling for years in your basement, building prototype after prototype to PROVE that your idea works? If so, tell us about it! Enter the second annual PopSci Invention Awards.
We’re looking for game-changing products that come from the passionate drive of independent inventors, not those born in the R&D labs of universities and corporations. PopSci editors will pick 10 inventions that best represent the spirit of homegrown ingenuity and solve real-world problems in a practical and innovative way. And we’ll show them to our seven million readers in our June 2008 issue.
This year we‚re adding a special award for inventions created by high-school students. The same criteria apply, and the winner will also be featured in the June 2008 issue, plus he or she will receive a $5,000 college scholarship and a chance to have the invention featured on PopSci’s 2008 national college tour. All inventors who will graduate from high school no earlier than March 2008 are eligible.

What if I told you that I have an invention in applied Hydrology to change the world US 6,766,817, but USPTO is violating it because I employed deep conceptions of my PhD in Soil Physics and Hydrogeology, but Patent Examiners are violating my patents ignoring it with lay people patents (7,285,255) having a mistake in the first figure that even high schools kids can very the mistake (http://revver.com/watch/160663). Water only drops if the Unsaturated Hydraulic Siphon (wick) cross the water table reference.
