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.

    My family celebrates Thanksgiving by calling it the Cooking Olympics where we all bring a dish and compete for bragging rights. We do this to remove ourselves from Thanksgiving’s bloody history.

    The x-59 is amazing!! Scary to think that these planes do not have front windshields . My concern would be any malfunction for the hd screens. Is there a backup in the case of a malfunction?

    I loved this episode! My favorite part was the Technology Spotlight from Dr John about limiting the sound of a sonic boom. The sound of a sonic boom occurs because of the pressure waves it creates. Recently, NASA created a jet called the X57 to test limiting the sonic boom sound. By using a longer nose, the sound of the sonic boom went down. I can’t wait for the next episode!
