Slingshot

Everyone has heard of the Segway. No one has heard of Dean Kaman, the inventor of the Segway. But this documentary about him is astounding. This guy is a prolific inventor and problem solver. He is an inspiration for thinking about problems differently, for solving the root of the problem instead of developing solutions for symptoms. He is an odd guy, but look at his list: portable dialysis, insulin pump, segway, stair climbing wheelchair, FIRST robotics, water purification, Coke dispenser. The doc also does a pretty good job of showing the difficulties and complexities of product development. Well worth it.
4 stars (out of 5)
