Next Episode of All-American Makers is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
America's do-it-yourselfers, innovators and entrepreneurs are getting the opportunity of a lifetime - to turn their big ideas into big money.. Every week four top makers from around the nation pitch their products to a panel of three experts featuring Printrbot founder and owner Brook Drumm, mechanical designer and robotics expert Brian Roe, and venture capitalist Marc Portney. Each maker's homegrown product is put through a series of rigorous tests by Drumm and Roe to find out how it works and if it lives up to its claim. Should the product make the grade it's then subjected to the scrutiny of real consumer focus groups. Based on the feedback of Drumm and Roe plus the focus groups, Portney decides if he wants to invest his own money in the maker's business and help bring the product to store shelves. From dog toys, thermal radar and grill gadgets to personal robots, hybrid recreational vehicles and stain repellent, the products featured on All-American Makers span the everyday to the amazing.
Brook, Brian, and investor Marc Portney test out motorized roller skates users can strap to their shoes, a water filter that works like a French press, a 360-degree infrared surveillance device, and a gun that lets people shoot flies with table salt.
Marc, Book & Brian scrutinize four big claims: a bike that can ride on water; social robots with personalities; a device that improves the reaction time of boxers; & a product claiming to give its user a healthy amount of sun without getting burned.
Experts Brook and Brian help Marc decide if he should invest in a brain-controlled toy helicopter; a non-toxic, liquid stain repellant; a fetch toy that dogs can control by themselves; or an airbag vest for motorcyclists.
Brook & Brian help Mark vet four innovative products: a remote controlled lawn mower; a revolutionary digital guitar; an indestructible flashlight that powers your electronics; & a bike helmet that records brainwaves and stress levels when you ride.
Brook and Brian help Marc vet the claims of four new products: a shirt that claims to change colors as muscles heat up; a non-glue that dries at your command; a robot that clears disaster areas; and a product that hopes to revolutionize prosthetics.
Brook and Brian help Marc vet four new products: a vehicle that allows cyclists to reach highway speeds; a robot programmed to its owner; an electric fan that promises a red-hot grill in minutes; and the first-ever indestructible shoelace.
