Do you have a new invention that belongs in Popular Science magazine's
Invention Awards? Please send ideas directly to me, Corey Binns, by
Monday March 9. Thanks!! Details and requirements are below.

Time to roll up the garage door, pull off the tarps, and stand back
By PopSci Staff Posted 01.13.2009

Do you have an invention you KNOW will someday change the world? Have
you been toiling for years in your basement, building prototype after
prototype to PROVE that your idea works? If so, tell us about it!
Enter the third annual PopSci Invention Awards. We’re looking for
game-changing products that come from the passionate drive of
independent inventors, not those born in the R&D labs of universities
and corporations.

PopSci editors will pick 10 inventions that best represent the spirit
of homegrown ingenuity and solve real-world problems in a practical
and innovative way. And we’ll show them to our seven million readers
in our June 2009 issue. Here are a few guidelines:

   * Inventions must be physical objects—no processes or concepts.
   * There must be a working prototype or something else that
demonstrates that the invention actually works.
   * Inventions must be the work of independent inventors or small
teams; outside funding is fine, but inventions created wholly out of
universities or other R&D labs will not be considered.
   * Inventions that are intended to become commercial products in
the future are acceptable, but they must not already be available for
sale.
   * Inventions must be something new, not just an incremental
improvement on an existing item.
   * PopSci will not publish an entry online or in print without
notifying the inventor first, but we will seek third-party
verification of the technology and significance of the invention. All
intellectual-property protection is the responsibility of the entrant.
