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.

    I didn’t know it was law for aircraft not to make a sonic boom. I’d guess it’s really reasonable, considering the effects.

    I feel like there should be some kind of failsafe on the X-59 and future supersonic aircraft, due to it relying on cameras.

    An airplane’s speed is dependent on air pressure, as air density changes with altitude and affects the force of lift an aircraft needs to fly.
