http://p-r-o-system.blogspot.com/2010/03/nuclear-powered-argument.html
The Innovation Guru solves your R&D problems. Sunday, March 21, 2010. On 4 March 2010 the WA Business News published an opinion piece I wrote about the hidden costs of nuclear energy to the taxpayer, and about whether nuclear energy was a good choice for Western Australia. Dr Dennis Jensen, MP, was outraged and reminded me that many old nuclear sites have been rehabilitated over the years. Well, duh! WA is a state of around 2 million people with a land area of about 2.5 million square kilometers....WA do...

The Innovation Guru solves your R&D problems. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Why Inventors Go Broke and Investors Get Rich. I’ve often said that 997 out of every 1000 inventions never make any money. How do I arrive at that precise figure? They have this Simple Arithmetic. On their side that I’m about to show you, which inventors can also take advantage of. The probability of the first business failing is 70%. The probability of the first AND second ones failing together are 0.7*0.7 = 0.49 or...Logic, then a...

The Innovation Guru solves your R&D problems. Monday, March 22, 2010. To Patent or Not to Patent? Inventors and innovative business owners ask me this all the time. My response is this:. Are you even ready to ask this question? Your IP strategy is in turn just one little component of your complete Business Plan. The Business Plan must summarize and outline how exactly the idea or invention is going to bring money in the door. How much money? From where and from whom? Yes, I know of instances, and some ve...

Fixing Broken Innovation: December 2009
http://p-r-o-system.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The Innovation Guru solves your R&D problems. Friday, December 18, 2009. Can't we just switch to solar power now? A friend recently asked my opinion of an idea he had for obtaining some otherwise unusable land at little or no cost. Then I'll cover the entire property with solar panels. What do you think? Pretty smart, eh? Nuclear, of course. What makes it so expensive? Energy from the sun is free, isn't it? No coal or gas to buy? On the other hand is determined by the market. Therefore for at least 16 ho...

The Innovation Guru solves your R&D problems. Sunday, November 22, 2009. The Value of Third Party Reviews. When I learned the art of R&D from experienced masters, they spoke little on the subject of Third Party Reviews (TPRs). They said little, but they always insisted on having them! Actions speak louder than words. TPRs can encompass an engineering design, analysis, recommendation, or a finding. They can also be useful for checking the validity of a test design, procedure, or data analysis especial...

The Innovation Guru solves your R&D problems. Monday, July 1, 2013. License to Print Money. There are unprecedented levels of renewable energy feeding into the electricity grids today from wind, solar PV, ocean wave/tidal, and others. But it's not all good news. To avoid an unnecessary shut down - start up cycle. In fact, they would happily pay people to use more electricity so they won't have to shut down, which would cost them even more. Basically, in that situation the instantaneous spot price of ...

Fixing Broken Innovation: Why We Need Driverless Cars Now

The Innovation Guru solves your R&D problems. Saturday, July 6, 2013. Why We Need Driverless Cars Now. There's a short answer and a long explanation. The short answer is this:. Humans are REALLY BAD at driving cars! They should stop and let machines do it. Human drivers are also responsible for the congestion on our urban streets and freeways. How? But isn't that just life? Isn't traffic congestion and people getting murdered in car wrecks just a part of being urban in the Age of the Automobile? Not nece...
