    Idea for an invention, no money. Where do I start?

    Hi Moneyman, thanks for your reply. I've already signed up to the Trevor Bayliss website, i've found some very useful info and links on there. The search service they offer looks useful, but again, it comes down to money, which I don't have. I've got NDA templates, it's what they actually cover...

    Idea for an invention, no money. Where do I start?

    Thanks for your reply, paulff. Yes I am able to do these thing regardless of my injury. Thanks for mentioning the government loans, I hadn't though of that. Cheers, Alex.

    Idea for an invention, no money. Where do I start?

    Hi everyone. I have an idea for an invention...but I have no money. Where do I start? I'm almost certain that nothing similar exists. I've searched the UK patent office website and can't find anything. I'm also concerned about the idea being copied. I gather there is something called a...

    'Green' portable generators.

    Hi ContractSafe. Thanks for your post, very informative. Ha, I love 'BCB's' for burnt crispy bits. So are you saying that i'd be able to power the 5 or so items I mentioned in my opening post using a generator that runs on either recycled vegetable oil or the black diesel you mentioned? And are...

    Exploring an invention/idea?

    Hi everyone. I've got an idea for a product that could possibly be used in the medical sector. It's very simple and would require no software or electronics. I'm completely new to this kind of thing and have no experience in engineering, all I have is the idea. I was wondering if anyone had...

    'Green' portable generators.

    Hi Mimilovell. No, I didn't find anything. I looked into using recycled cooking oil as a biofuel, but it would probably create too much of a smell for what I want to use it for... I also looked into solar energy, but was advised by a few companies that it wouldn't generate enough power for...

    'Green' portable generators.

    Thanks for the link, Sirearl. This is exactly the type of thing i'm looking for, unfortunately this one would just be too big. As I want to trade on council-owned land space is an important factor. Given that the council I want to rent space from is very pro 'green', this is the angle I...

    'Green' portable generators.

    I contacted the people that run the bus service that I mentioned in my reply to Vvaannmmaann above, and they've told me that they also run a generator but have been advised not to use biodiesel in it as it's a different kind of engine to that of a car, or a bus. I hadn't thought of the smell it...

    'Green' portable generators.

    No it wouldn't, but (I think) I can see where you're going, I hadn't thought of that. There actually used to be a bus in my town that ran on biodiesel refined from waste cooking oil. This is definitely something i'll look into. Do you know anymore about it?, like could a generator run on it...

    'Green' portable generators.

    Hi, PSL. Thanks for your reply. Yes, from my basic research i've also found that there are very few units on the market. When you say a bio fuel unit wouldn't be feasible, is that because it'd be too big? I see from your homepage that this is your 'area', if you like, so I apologise if my...

    'Green' portable generators.

    Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me anything about portable generators that run on a 'green' source of energy?, bio-fuel, solar etc? Basically any kind of portable generator that's greener than the average kind. Are there companies that can supply these? I would need one for a mobile catering...

    Who makes the final decision? (Renting space from Council for mobile catering)

    Hi MBE1. I completely agree with what you say about the unit having to fit into the plan/vision that the council have for the town, this is something i'm working on and I believe it can fit in. As I mentioned before in the thread, the council are very 'green' orientated, so i'm looking into...

    Who makes the final decision? (Renting space from Council for mobile catering)

    Thanks for your reply, 10032012. Yes, i've looked into the street trading license, and that's not a problem. The problem i'm having is according to my local councils website, there is an enormous waiting list to secure a pitch to be able to trade from, at least 2 years. So even if I had a...

    Who makes the final decision? (Renting space from Council for mobile catering)

    Hi Arcon5. Well i'm not sure if that kind of arrangement is the norm, but that was the proposal that the guy representing the train operator (who run the station) offered. The train station in question was definitely a prime spot - nearly 18,000 passengers moving through it daily (6.3m p/a)...
