Ideas are those interesting things which pop into our head, sometimes when we don’t expect them. Occasionally, they have a major effect on our life and on the lives of others.
Imagine for a moment, how magic and wonderful it was to hear sounds from a radio set when there was no electricity.

Here is a strip of metal [steel]. It has been formed into a coil, placed on a series of steps and gravity took over as step by step it slinked down. It was marketed as a children’s toy or novelty and called a slinky.

Trevor Graham Baylis CBE (born 13 May 1937) is an English inventor. He is best known for inventing the wind-up radio. Rather than using batteries or external electrical sources, the radio is powered by the user winding a crank for several seconds. This stores energy in a spring which then drives an electrical generator to operate the radio receiver. He invented it in response to the need to communicate information about AIDS to the people of Africa.
