On this page we offer a number of proposals for improving Britain's competitiveness as an innovative nation.
However, for maximum benefit, they should be implemented at a European level.

Article summary
The use of Western military might to impose Western values in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya have all ended in disaster.
We propose a far more subtle method of bringing about change based on the psychology of human relationships. Essentially, national leaders and their families from countries across the globe will be provided with the opportunity to get to know each other as human beings who also live a life outside politics. This will lower the ‘Don’t trust strangers’ barriers between them and gives cooperation between political leaders a better chance of succeeding.
Three products are described on this page.
1 The Survival (First Aid) Pad
This is a versatile foam sheet splint for first aid treatment of wrist, arm, leg, ankle and neck injuries. It is designed for one handed self splinting, with the solo adventurer in mind.
Other InnovationsThis invention simulates the effect of having a television camera inside a golf ball during its flight through the air from the tee, towards the green.
Essentially, this invention is a cunning optical trick, designed to produce impressive visual effects. Briefly, here's how it works: A set of golf ball detecting, radar units alongside the fairway are linked to a computer, which calculates the successive positions of an ordinary golf ball, with no camera inside it, as it travels through the air. A short computer programme, based on the physics of golf ball flight, then predicts where the golf ball will land. The computer programme also works out which part of the landing zone would be seen if there really had been a camera inside the ball. The programme then looks at an electronically stored picture of the whole of the area around the green and displays on your television screen, just that part of the area which it predicts the imaginary camera would see. The system updates the displayed picture, several times each second.
A new concept in high rise accommodation.

We propose an instrument for property price damping, to prevent house price bubbles.
Increased investment in home energy efficiency will be a side effect.
Article summary
In the UK, Euro zone and other currency areas, a Central Bank sets a single interest rate to control all forms of inflation, including property prices. This crude instrument is only effective if if all parts of the currency zone are at the same stage in their economic cycle.
Buildings are different to other personal assets in that they have a fixed position. We describe a financial instrument that exploits the fixed position of buildings to shift property price control back to local level without undermining Central Bank authority.
Energy saving bonus: Predictable long term house prices would reduce the financial risks of investing in home energy improvements.

The lubricant free designs cover piston, diaphragm and peristaltic type pumps. Three of our designs are described below.
Western blue collar workers are angry. Thanks to globalisation and automation, their job prospects have been getting worse for decades. This has resulted in a dramatic increase in the ‘diseases of despair’ such as alcohol and opiate addiction, suicide and obesity.
This anger could transform into extremism if the COVID pandemic creates an international recession to match that of the 1930s.
