Unemployed Developing More Inventions

With millions of Americans out of work, some of the unemployed are taking matters into their own hands, according to a story on myFoxDC.com.

Experts say the number of new inventions being pushed into the marketplace is rising.

Tough economic times often lead to new inventions as people out of work have more time available and are more willing to take risks.

“I would say that the numbers have probably gone up four-fold in the last, even in the last month. I think that stems from people that are either out of work or have been displaced, companies have closed and they’re trying to set themselves up long term for a better financial position,” said Bruce Nemec of C2R Product Development.

But turning an idea into a marketable product can be costly. It can cost as much as 100 thousand dollars to pay for the patent, design, testing and engineering. That much money might not be available to people out of work.

Still, the inventions keep coming said Nemec who has recently seen designs for a dog pet massager, a remote control with charging station, a flexible USB, and a golf cart mountable GPS.
