I started inventing when I was about four or five. My parents were very much surprised that I could take everyday things and reproduce them in models using a construction kit. So I think I have been intellectual all my life.
Some years ago I was watching a TV programme about a disease in Africa. The only way the people could receive information was through radio. But there was a problem. There was no electricity in Africa, but batteries were so expensive that people couldn’t buy them. And an old-fashioned gramophone (record player), which had a handle on it, helped me invent the Clockwork Radio.
Most of my inventions are for fun, but I also made a range of products that are useful, for example, Orange Aids for disabled people.

Of all great inventions in the world, the jet engine is one thing I used. But it was invented in 1930 by Frank Whittle.
