Inventioneering

November 26, 2025  •  EPISODE 288

What does it really take to bring ideas to life? In this episode, Dr. Roger Billings takes us deeper into the world of inventioneering—the dynamic mix of creativity, engineering, and problem-solving that turns imagination into real-world inventions. He shows how inventioneering isn’t limited to tech or science—it can be applied to any creative or practical project. If you’ve ever had a spark of inspiration, this episode will help you learn how to shape it into something meaningful and impactful.

    Did Benjamin Franklin do his experiment with the Leyden Jar before or after he did his experiment with the kite?

    The battery’s origin is very cool, and how Benjamin Franklin inspired the name “battery” was all very interesting to me. Also, happy Thanksgiving.

    The X59 jet was interesting with the long nose and the lines on the top that make the sound go up and quieter on the ground. To use HD cameras was a good idea. Dr. Billings Navy science cruise sounded like a fun trip.
