I made 5,127 prototypes of my vaccum before I got it right. There were 5,126 failures. But I learned from each one. That’s how I came up with a solution. So I don’t mind failure.
In just six weeks from the time the design was started, we had the motor on the block testing its power.
I spend my money on my props and my creations. I'm an inventor.
I haven't been a prototype mother.
Da Vinci always seemed like the prototype Tony Stark to me.
A new idea is rarely born like Venus attended by graces. More commonly it's modeled of baling wire and acne. More commonly it wheezes and tips over.
I came up with the Enveloper when I was 20 and it took my dad and me several months to develop the initial concept into a working model.
At the start of the process the idea is just a thought - very fragile and exclusive. When the first physical manifestation is created everything changes. It is no longer exclusive, now it involves a lot of people.
He who makes the quickest, coolest prototypes reigns!
SORCERY, n. The ancient prototype and forerunner of political influence. It was, however, deemed less respectable and sometimes was punished by torture and death.
It never ceases to amaze me what it takes to develop and bring to mass production a product.
I spent much of my life dying for somebody to help me even file for a patent or make a prototype. I understand that.
Prototype, then polish. Get it working before you optimize it
I had to learn everything about manufacturing, patents and how to run a business, and eventually I came up with an prototype that worked.
I went drinking with Gray Powell and all I got was a lousy iPhone prototype.
I'm an inventor.
Myths are the prototype for all stories. When we write a story on our own it can't help but link up with all sorts of myths. Myths are like a reservoir containing every story there is.
It isn't obvious and it took us a while to demonstrate that we could actually design a machine that bends.
This machine was a failure to the extent that it could not fly. In other respects it was a very important and necessary stepping stone.
I wanted to see if you could put a prototype radio station on the Internet so you wouldn't have to invest $50 million or $100 million or $150 million to buy a transmitter and a frequency.
As a student, I had a hobby of inventing new ideas for products. For me, thinking of new businesses is like inventing new products.
One of the rookie mistakes first-time entrepreneurs often make is to be too guarded about their idea - in fact, many will actually spend their first $25,000 on patent lawyers without ever fully vetting their product.
Design is an iterative process. One idea often builds on another.
Well, for over a year now at my desk, a prototype program of Luigi and Mario has been running on my monitor. We've been thinking about the game, and it may be something that could work on a completely new game system.
I like to come up first of all with a free idea, thinking about and obviously understanding what is necessary for it to become a car.
