Invest in Design

We develop ideas into design concepts then refine those concepts into products for manufacturing. Some of our ideas are in the development stage and need partners and investors to make them work. If you are interested in credible ideas for marketable products, check out our list of projects to see if there are any that you could use. We usually focus on outdoor and wildlife products, but we also have several other ideas that are ready for development.

Manufacturing

We try to focus on developing products that:

• are simple and inexpensive to manufacture

• can be mass produced by one machine process

• can be marketed and sold in single units or wholesale

• are easy to use, maintain, stack, ship, store or recycle

• are made for everyone or a large user market

• are beneficial to wildlife for health, safety and human interaction

• are beneficial to scientists and observers for research and documentation

• go with existing or common products that are frequently used

If you need help developing a product that meets some of the above criteria,

please let us know, we would be happy to join you!

Cone Design

The cone concept stacks and functions like a regular cone, however, the base has four feet that can be filled with material such as sand to add weight and stability. It also allows high visibility rails to snap into the top and info-graphic displays to snap into the base. The modular cone can be used to quickly set up a rail around habitats that need temporary protection.

With use on protected sand dunes, vulnerable nesting sites and other habitats, the modular cone has many applications and can be assembled in a variety of ways, including stand-alone, square and in straight or curved lines.

Invest In This Design

The modular cone is still being developed, and we are looking for investors and partners who are interested in helping us make and sell this product. Contact us for more information.

Aluminum Osprey Roost

The aluminum osprey roost provides a permanent platform for osprey and other large birds to build a nest in coastal environments where the elements are more harsh and suitable trees are scarce. The design features four pieces of sheet aluminum that help hold sticks and other nesting material together so that birds can build a durable home. The platform has two pieces of treated lumber between the aluminum walls that become the base of the nest and a steel pole that can be set to match the height of the nearby vegetation. When placed next to trees on the edge of the property or along the shore, the aluminum osprey roost becomes a safe and wonderful habitat for birds to live.

The platform has an aluminum frame, galvanized steel pole, and ground screw for stability. The image also includes informational text about the osprey nest platform's features and benefits.

Hook Removal Device

The magnetic hook removal device can be made as a DIY project with only a few materials; plastic board, foam floats, cable ties, magnets and rope. If you would like to help with the research necessary to prove this concept and make it into a marketable product, we would love to hear from you.

There are several potential concepts that could work, and at this time there is no indication that one will be more successful than the others. It’s a DIY concept designed specifically to help Tarpon, however it could be made into a profitable product, and hopefully one day it will be the center of attention at the marinas where Tarpon gather. If you would like more information about the magnetic hook removal device concept, please send us an e-mail.
