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.

    Why would the creation of an antenna be more art than science, is that cause they want it to look more fancy?

    Thank you for talking about the scholarship requirements. It would be really cool if they are able to use magnets to separate the elements of water.

    Are aircraft allowed to do a sonic boom during an airshow? I think I’ve seen one before.

    I have 2 questions:
    So #1. tobais was talking about infired light so i’m wondering, is infered a color? 🤔
    And also what does the radio wave do to make the current go through the aluminum balls‽
    This episode was 100% awesome ☺︎☺︎☺︎

    I liked learning that mold grows 20 times faster in space than on earth.
    The infared light was invisable, but when new materials were grown and combined it made the infared light visible.
    Its really cool that you can send signals with radiowaves to turn on a lightbulb, and turn it of by tapping it.
