About 17 years ago when my daughter was a baby, I had one of those wind
up inside swings that was great at pacifying a baby, but you had to keep
winding every 5 minutes or so. I sat down a drew up a sketch for an
electromagnet that would pull a spring loaded flag which spring was
attached to the arm of the swing. The electromagnet would be actuated by
a microswitch for about 25% of the swing. Seemed like a doable deal with
a market, just didn't follow thru. One of you guys familiar with patents
and marketing devices feel free to take this and run. I've known for a
long time the real work is putting an idea into the market. Yours,
