Boom or Bust

The bike built for two is cute but not huge marketability. Nice little story though.

I love Therapy Buddy doll. He looks so cuddly and soothing. (reminds me of Barbapapa?) I would hold him after a hard day at the office! I want one!

I really love the solar powered cooler. How ingenious. This thing would be a great tool for all outdoor activity. How fun would this thing be! And it is also safe for the environment. Bitchin' I say!

Hello my name is Matt Garis. I also auditioned for the show. I did make it to the next round but seemed to be edited out of the auditions I am from Enid Ok and auditioned in Denver Co. I dont really understand why there was not at least a clip of my product but never the less I was there and am going to the next round. would like to be on invention list but I was waiting to be aired first. What does everyone else think. Thank You, Matt Garis Trailer Tower LLC.

I seen you myself and I know how impressive your Trailer Tower is the different uses you have for it like the swing set,lifeguard stand, race day tower. I think those judges saw an innovative product but the show needed those crazy charecters. Good luck to you Matt, AWSOME product.

www.CharacterBuildingBuddy.com She is great.. Wish she made it all the way to the last round... Really loved those bears.. Some say it was an infringement off the Bild A Bear Workshop because of the heart piece.. I say they are nothing alike.. Go Joan! It seems she has made it further than others as she already sells them online, and at Legoland, as well as a few other locations..

I think the couple with the germ filtering toilet seat invention could be amongst the million dollar players. The idea is totally original. Not like some other inventions that try to re-invent the wheel. The car seat is another idea that should end up finishing. Both the toilet seat and the car seat are life saving ideas worthy of being sold to millions.

Good move letting this couple move to a win

I read info at ABC's website that now there is going to be only 4 who make it to the end. My bets are in for Shovel Master, Germ filtering toilet seat couple (Flushpure or Pureflush), Safety Car seat man, Kid with the double bike.
Any takers.

I want to find out more about the Germ filtering toilet seat. How can I get info about it? Any assistance would be appreciated.

It's an AmericanInventorSpot exclusive - for whatever that's worth. So get your questions ready.

i'm looking forward to seeing more of flushpure. i saw him in the NYC auditions at the Armory. We were together in the first sidegrouping they did. The sideways bike guy was there too. Rolling in his toilet he got a lot of attention. I recall them saying they missed the LA auditions and flew to NYC so they wouldn't miss out. Good call - seeing as they've made it to the final rounds. At the time, I recall the attractive woman being just an "assistant" friend. As it turns out, it looks like they have the same last name. I guess they're married. Or family? Are congrats in order?

I'm guessing mr. anonymous in the previous comment may or may not be mr.flushpure himself. good luck if it's you. There were a lot of toilet/bathroom products, but yours indeed seems novel.

here's to the final rounds. and something worthy winning.

Please spread the word that Doug Hall will be here on sunday night, April 23rd, at 9:30PM EST, blogging and taking comments, live.

keep on inventing.

Hope they do well.The idea is what the public needs.

I loved the restroom door clip and would buy it. It small and portable, something I would keep in my purse. Think of all the times you go to a restroom in a public place, whether at the movies,airport or the Hollywood Bowl, there always seems to be a bathroom stall without a lock. Great idea!! Deserves to do well.

go to: home.blarg.net/~steveha/funky_bike.jpg copy and paste this url and you'll see the same bike that is supposed to be original. What's up with this?

The bike is called the Bilenky Viewpoint. www.bilenky.com/viewpoint.html

winner tonight had only one thing over the www.bilenky.com/viewpnt.html
Because the front was detachable that portion might be protected if he gets a proper patent. Other wise sell as many as you can now before the lawsuits come in from The Bilenky Viewpoint owners.

The best is yet to come. Doug's group seems the most interesting. Door clip, germ filtering toilet seat, safety car seat. The toilet seat is the most revolutionary and novel. The door clip is practical. The car seat could be popular if it works. My bet is with the inventor that develops their product most.
The british guy has a word game that's been done, the bald woman with a sweat sheild that's a small market and the toner belt that's also been done. This is a tough one but I think the word game looks the best from the photo's I've seen.

I just was watching an episode of MythBusters on DVD (1st season). These Mythbuster guys are a hard group to get by and the episode tried to bust the myth of the toilet flush contaminating toothbrushes, etc. They couldn't bust the myth. Conclusion is that there is a "spray" that leaves the toilet bowl spreading fecal matter and germs everywhere. The contamination even settles on things outside the bathroom.
Now I'm sold on this invention selling big time. I'm first in line.

>>Conclusion is that there is a "spray" that leaves the toilet bowl spreading fecal matter and germs everywhere.

Yes but they also concluded that it wasn't dangerous to use the items. Just about everyone's toothbrush has fecal matter/bacteria on it, people are just unaware. As they said at the end "There's poo everywhere!"

I side with the caution taken by the person with HIV. I have diabetes and am also in the category of those aware of excess colds, flu and especially food bourne illnesses. Many are not aware that 50% of "stomach flu" is contracted within the home and a direct result of ingestion of a family members contaminated waste materials (such as in the toilet mist/spray/aerosol contamination that is caused by flushing).

Sounds disgusting but it's true. Research it yourself. Being diabetic opened my eyes to alot of potential life threatening "germs" and infections. Make that another fan of the germ filtering toilet guy.

Hello America, this is Erik Thompson inventor of the catch vest if you guys and gals have any guestions for me please feel free ask away, i'll be more than happy to answer them.

The toilet seat (Pureflush) is such a unique product. It's a 21st century invention. I went to the website (www.pureflush.com) and there are published scientific papers about toilet aerosols that blew me away. I like the carseat also but I believe Pureflush will save more lives every year. It's so clear now that I've read the blogs and compared all the other inventions. I hope the pureflush couple get this on the market asap. Should sell millions.
