Make Me a Millionaire Inventor, which premieres August 12 at 10:00 p.m. EDT/PDT, is a six-episode series on a mission to find the best inventions never made and give them new life.
“This show aligns perfectly with what I want to do—be a part of quality television that explores the process of how things happen,” says Zaidan. “The show also really encourages people to tinker, invent, and follow their dreams.”
When he’s not hosting the show, Zaidan will continue to run his science/engineering media production company Free Energy Productions, which focuses on non-traditional educational media. “Our mission is to produce content about science and engineering at the intersection of artistic excellence and commercial viability,” says Zaidan.
Zaidan’s work includes a partnership with MIT’s office of Educational Innovation and Technology on a web series, Science Out Loud, and has his own YouTube channel, Ingredients. Zaidan has also developed, written, and hosted shows for the Weather Channel, National Geographic, and the Pentagon Channel and has written and voiced several TED-Ed viral videos. His work has been featured in The Boston Globe, NPR’s The Salt, NBC’s Cosmic Log, Science, Business Insider, and Gizmodo.

I don't know all that it will take to bring a new product to the market that is a topical cream, that will cure eczema, psoriasis, and many other skin diseases in matter weeks. This is a remedy that has been in my family for many years, and it has helped a lot of people that I have known. I just don't know how to have the cream studied and brought to the market. I know that the FDA would have to evaluate it before the consumer would be allowed to use it, but it is a defiant cure for skin disorders. My father has kept this tradition alive in our family and has down to me, and I will pass it down to the next generation, because it really works. So if you can help in any way, please let me know.

Hello, My name is Lynn Joseph aka grandma. We have an invention that will revolutionize play time, for all ages, abilities, and disabilities. Summer and winter fun. We live in Northern Indiana and our winters can become very cold, and our summers very hot. Either way outdoor play can be limited. We have a tradition in our family of building a snowman after our first winter snow. As I mentioned before the weather can lessen our time outdoors, and grandma ain't getting no younger! She can't bend, pull and tug like she use to, so the snowmen are a lot smaller and the sand castles look more like ant hills. Our invention will put an end to these problems. Your consideration is appreciated. XXOO GRANDMA

I have two inventions. I am an idea-ist looking for an engineer to carry out my ideas.
Any idea-ist needs an engineer. Arecthere any engineers without ideas that would like to join forces?

Well, for one, George is a badass... Let's just face it. MIT Grad, producer, writer, scientist, and I love this where he says "'This show aligns perfectly with what I want to do—be a part of quality television that explores the process of how things happen,' says Zaidan. 'The show also really encourages people to tinker, invent, and follow their dreams.'"
Following one's dreams is crucial to winning in life. And to inspire others to do this while you yourself accomplish this life protocol... well that's outstanding :)

I have a patent pending invention that I would love to share with you, I will need a partner in Engineering and develop my product, and with the present technology and your help I know it can be develop, I am in a situation like Alba Edison in need of a JP Morgan when he created it the electricity. It is a very useful tool for the restaurant industry that will bring most benefit for every one including mother"s Earth. Hope to hear from you, my phone # 718-840-9356

Tyree,
I may be able to assist.
If you make 'cure' claims the FDA may classify your cream as a drug which will require a prescription. I can assist with shelf life testing, OTC label compliance, and product placement.
If you have before/after pics kindly email to me at mikemenkes@yahoo.com
Respectfully, Mike

Hi, I have an idea for your next season. I would like to look at my idea which I will have a provisional patent in the next month. I have been a Registered Nurse working in the emergency and trauma centers around Los Angeles. I have 20 years experience and I came out with a perfect diagnostic tool that will change the way the standard of care is done for an emergent patient. This tool can be used in both pediatrics and adults who come in an unresponsive state to either a trauma room or emergency room. It can also be used in urgent care or skilled nursing facilities. There are currently 16 million critical patients that are cared for in our 5000 JACHO certified emergency and trauma centers in the United States. One fourth come in an either lethargic or questionable lethargic state. One test the doctor will order along with blood test is a urine toxicology screen. Most of the patients are unresponsive or semi-unresponsive and require catheterization from a skilled professional. First we have to obtain the urinalysis then we send it to the lab for testing which can take 30-45 minutes. That's 30-45 minutes that we are losing in properly caring for the patient. We are talking about human life. With my invention it will not only be used in the emergency rooms but it will change the standards of care. Only because this test is a necessity for the proper caring of a patient. Now we can have this (Quik cath Screen) at the bedside and it can be done in minutes. I would love for you to take a look at this idea through my website that has made my 3-D pictures and video. Please log on to Inventionhome.com my log ID is JSuare24176 my password is jjangalx68. I believe this idea will be used in every trauma and emergency room also urgent care center around the United States. Please look at my video!
I would like to say there are intermittent catheter out there in the market through bard urological but there is no item that has an embedded toxicology screen in it. Please review my attorney response through United States Patent Office.

I watched the show where a girl had "invented" a marinara tower. The show did a good job of showing who had the girl had worked and spent her family into the next century by scraping together every dime they could drum up. The production company went overboard to help her promote her idea. But what I wished the show would have done is offer some constructive criticisms. Being a food-processing item, the inventor should have addressed Board of Health requirements, i.e. covering and/or sneeze guards. Also, how does she purpose to wash the "tower" every day? It's going to take a really big sink or steam-clean area.

If you are not willing to help me I just want you to know that I will not give up on this, because I know that I have a good idea. I am a student I am studying Business Marketing, and I also plan to become a patten attorney so that I can someday be able to patten my idea myself. I just hope that you will keep my idea confidential. It is so hard to have a good idea, and not have the means to promote it. I lost so much money dealing with patten companies that are not there to help you, they just want your money, so I can't go that route anymore. There is another way and I will find it. Thank you anyway for showing me some interest, it was very encouraging to get a response from you.

Hello it is me again, I can't give up on this. You seemed so very interested in my idea at first. I don't blame you, it was my fault I had a problem trying to seen you a video and the time ran out. I understand that you are busy preparing for your second season, so since I was late I just have to ask if you would consider me for your third season. I am sure that your show will still be apart of the network and I will be watching. Thank you so very much for even giving me a thought.

I am the type of person that will not just give up without giving it one last try. I was fortunate to have gotten a response from you, but then I was brushed off. I actually made it to the video submission round, but I had trouble with the application and the video. You really got me so excited after I was able to show you my invention, so it was a big let down after I was told; "don't call us we'll call you". I can't help but to feel that this was a brush off, so I must ask you again "please give me a chance".

It can retrofit any existing bathroom and only requires a few inches of soace to install. It will pay for itself in savings from water use. I have a video that shows you how it works.

I would love to be considered for your second season, I saw one of your shows where there was a guy that made a new kind of bow it was a unique idea and he got a great deal. I was so inspired when I saw this, because I have a very unique idea that I believe will sale. It is a slingshot rifle that is one of a kind. I have been making slingshots since I was 5 years old and I have protected my skills. This is a fully functional product that you need to see, I have no doubt that there is someone out there that will invest in this idea, so please consider me. I have waited for a long time for a show like your. Also my father is an inventor, he has made two fully functional water distilling devices that can produce the best tasting water you have ever had. He had the water tested and found that it is 200 times better then is required. He is 79 years old and he is afraid that he won't live to see his invention make it to the market. He has tried to get a patten, but he was cheated out of so much money by crooked companies. It is so discouraging when this happens. So please consider us we need your help.

I have an idea that will change the way emergency or trauma care is given throughout the United States. It will change the standards of care for unconscious or semi unconscious patients are cared for. Also it will detect any toxins (drugs) in the system through a closed intermittent catheter. The current standard is the MD orders a urine toxicology screen and the nurse has to to do a catheter to remove the urine to be sent the lab for testing. After 3- 45 minutes the test comes back and treatment of the patient proceeds. My idea is a bedside toxicology screen which will take 5 minutes. There is no item like this in the US patent office. Please let me explain. Thanks.....Jesse

My name is Peter and I have invented Adjustable Tint for applications in automotive, marine, home and buisnesses. I have never had the money to further develop my invention past my current single working model. I have contacted 3M and a few others about assistance with the product, but I never feel trusting enough to explain to someone I don't know about how it works. I really enjoyed your show with the marinara tower and believe you can assist me on the appropriate direction to take.
Thank you,
