Everything you see around you was once nothing more than an idea in someone else's head. So, if you think you've got a genius idea, be prepared to start inventing things and get to market them. It's not as hard as you think!

You can't just say you have invented something useful if you don't have a prototype (雏形). At this beginning stage, don't spend too much money. In fact, if it's possible to make a working prototype from cardboard or paper, that's totally fine. If you do require a more professional prototype, use a 3-D printing company, or find a factory that you can afford.

You could license somebody else to produce, use or sell your invention. It could be the easiest way to make money from it. If you're someone who is great at sales, who can manage people well and who enjoys taking risks, starting your own business may be a better choice.

A. There are two ways to get your product to market.

B. Inventing a product means one thing: solving a problem.

C. Once you've come up with an idea, it's time to do some research.

D. Now you need to get a prototype made so that you can test it.

The word photography was first used in 1839. However, at that time the subject had to keep still (静止的) while it was taken a photo of. Few people had ever tried to take photos of moving subjects. The first man to do so was Eadweard Muybridge, a world-famous photographer. He created the first moving picture.

When a horse is running, do all four hooves(蹄)ever leave the ground at the same time? That was the bet that a gentleman called Leland Stanford had with some of his friends. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, but Stanford didn't think so.

Because a horse's legs are moving so fast, it's impossible to tell just by looking. Stanford needed away to record the movement of a running horse. In1872, Leland Stanford offered Eadweard Muybridge $ 25, 000 to find the answer. Muybridge had no idea if he could successfully set up and perform an experiment to settle the bet, but he thought he should give it a try.

In 1878, after years of experiments, Muybridge got what he wanted. He had a sequence (连续)of 12images(图像), and one of them clearly showed all four of the horse's hooves were off the ground at the same time. In the end Muybridge collected his well-earned $ 25, 000 from Stanford.

Though Thomas Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first movie in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison's invention.
