from personal experience-DO NOT I repeat DO NOT send your idea to one of those "help you patent" outfits- I did, and didn't have the money to follow through with a patent on my own- now a major company is making a knock off of my invention! if your idea is something totally new, then you need to figure out how to develop it your own- learn how to build it so you can see if it's a really valid idea. if an improvement to something that already exists you may be able to patent "improvement to prior art"- either way a good place to start is:\n\nhttp://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html\n\nlook to see if anything already exists like your idea, and if not then start development!

Noone invented it. It is a natural phenomenon which humans have harnessed, channeled and learned to store.

I want to invent a machine that makes people young forever. \nWith my registered patent, I don't think I would have a hard time to market it.\nThe problem is I can't be young forever to invent that machine.

Build it around a key goal - a company you want to open, question you want to answer, something you want to change in the world. Invent it if you have to, but make sure it is something you can be passionable about. Also make sure it is consistent with current fads in the field, and challenging yet realistic. \n\nThen, explain how your previous studies and work both drove you to this idea and helped you to come closer to realizing it. Finally, say how education at said school will further help realize it.\n\nMake a draft, spell check, show to as many university professors as you can, get feedback, revise, repeat 3 times.

Get a group of people together and brainstorm. Every one puts in their ideas. No idea is too silly or too far out. You might get some good ideas or at least a new way of looking at things.

First, you have to know enough about music so you don't come up something that you think is new but it has been done before; then, experiment with rhythms and sounds and structures, until you find something.\nAnyway, in music it is more discovering the combinatins you can make than inventing it; like maths (i'm not trying to say here that music is like maths to me, I hate maths and love music, but there is a lot of maths in music too).

invent what?  a better way to grow food?  a better way to preserve it?  a perfectly nutritionally balanced meal that can be shipped to other places?  a way to stop power-hungry governments from killing people and driving them off their land?  a way to make self-centered people in well-off places stop and think about the fact that 140,000 people die of hunger every day, while they waste food by the ton?  There are many people and groups, from scientific communities to social and political groups, trying to do exactly these things.  if you want to help, I'd suggest you look at them and see where you can put a hand in.  If you have a cool idea for an invention, talk to them about how to develop it and where it would be best used.

You have to be extremely lucky, or sly. And come up with a brilliant unique idea to market.
