Fetch Boy the Ball Launcher:

The fourth generation of sling shots.  This force balanced "A" frame design is very effective at launching medium size objects.  Marketed as a tennis ball launcher for dog training and recreation.  More...

The new design shown below is re-design of the existing wooden frame into a collapsible rigid wire frame.
The frame, in its a rest position, will assume a narrow linear shape as shown in the third image below.  This allows for more compact packaging.
Attributes of this design include:

• More attractive design
• Easier manufacturing
• Cheaper shipping
• Smaller retail shelf footprint
• Patent D392013

The Starling or Small Bird Proof Chicken Feeder:

This design allows the gradual dispensing of pelletized food for free range chickens from a once daily filling while preventing smaller birds from consuming the same.

Chickens will insert their heads into the feeder without any additional effort than it would take for them to feed from the ground.  Smaller birds will find it difficult to either enter the feeder or to perch on the side to try and feed.

Attributes of this design include:

• Low cost, single piece injection mold plastic
• High feed efficiency
• Low maintenance
• Less feeding periods (once daily)
• Less interaction with native or migrational bird species reducing potential disease transmission

Functional Prototype

This adjustable training wheel apparatus introduces the child to the concept of balancing incrementally while ride his or her bike with Trainer Wheels.  More...
