Shalom,

I was working on a Solar Clothing line for a couple years now. What’s really needed is a Minimum Viable product and the right partnership with obviously a university/company that cares to invest in the future. I went to Arizona State University and a lot of the engineers and entrepreneur community said it wasn’t practical enough. Well, if you could share my idea with the students working on the competition, tell them the best thing to do is make a minimum viable product that can be used on many fronts, not just fashion for outdoors(businessmen, students, army…)

My base product was a Solar bracelet/lapels/shoulder pad: really just a patch that can be water proof and removable, that can link up to other patches to increase the volt/amp to not only charge a phone but eventually charge a laptop. And Solar Sandals(For when we are walking 40 years in the desert…lol..)

Those pictures look so familiar to me. For those who have never designed a product, the photos capture the early iterations of almost every project. In the early stages no one is quite sure where things go. The first few builds feel awkward, inefficient, and incomplete. You’d see the same thing if you were looking at the first prototypes of a space shuttle, washing machine, or first attempts at writing a novel.
The secret is to keep imposing multiple iterations of improvement. Each wave of evaluation and re – creation of the product acts to continually refine and polish the final result. This concept was better understood by earlier generations which is why words like recreation exist. The whole notion of recreation was that we could build a better version of ourselves by occasionally withdrawing from our day to day activities. Through recreation we improve the greatest project in our portfolio: ourselves.
