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.

    What batteries are currently being used for transistor radios? More specifically, what type of batteries do we currently put in modern transistor waves? Are they stronger than the 9 volt ones we used to implement in them? Or, are they updated to be smaller and portable for these radio’s current sizes?

    How are radio waves transmitted through long distances? In other words, how do we transfer radio waves to faraway property? Do we use antennas, like on cars? Or, do we use an internal detector to receive the waves?

    I liked Dr. Joseph part because, I was wondering about the full one credit from watching the Science Lives 100 times in a row. And also, since the days have switched I can never attend the science lives anymore on the exact night, because of my religious practices fall on the same day and hour. I liked Tobias part because, batteries are a big part of todays society, I feel like everything needs batteries.
