The Frustration of Digging Old Mines

When I was a kid (seriously, a little boy) I once watched stars over the night sky. I tried to imagine the actual distance between them and the Earth. I knew that it can take hundreds of years for light, shining from the stars, to come here. The stars have to be super far away if something so fast like light spends so much time by traveling between these celestial objects. Then, suddenly, I realized that if the light carries the information from the stars (since without the coming light I couldn’t see the stars) I was looking at the stars in the past, I couldn’t see them how they are right now! I was really excited when I figured this out. I cannot remember, did I speak about my idea for someone or did they understand what I was talking about, but I was really disappointed after I realized that my idea were already a common knowledge for scientists. But I was only a kid so it was a good start!

On later age I knew that the Nature always tries to find a balance between things (at least in chemical level). That’s why the concentration differences tend to dilute away if two liquids were mixed together for example. That’s why I thought that it could be possible to generate flows of liquids by luring the osmosis to work for it. I made a small apparatus for testing my idea and voila, a surface level in one of the chambers in my invention seemed to fight against the gravity, because it was rising upwards! I was again super excited, but after a little internet research I found many pages about the already known osmotic power plants. Damn.

Here is an image from my small osmotic "power plant". It worked nicely as the water seemed to fight against the gravity  when it circulated automatically up and down in the device. Sadly, this invention was also an old idea and already known.

Maybe a year ago I thought that “hey, if people are suffering because of insomnia and the blue light coming from the computer screens and displays of phones, why it is not removed by some sort of software?” Well, currently I’m using this program in my laptop, an already known invention.

Luckily, I have a couple of ideas that seems to be totally new, even though I have made a couple of good internet researches. Currently, I’m intensively looking solutions how I could benefit from them. By better income I could save more time and money resources for doing more inventions and grow the snow ball. Since I’m still pretty young I want to invent many new things and use the plasticity of my brains, not throw my creativity in the garbage can. I really hope that I could someday find the time and money for living like a scientific/engineering artist.
