Idea for Manufactured Skipping Stones...that might just rock!

How about manufactured "skipping stones"? This could develop into a new sport or competition. The rocks could be specially designed artificial stones, instead of the usual way of collecting stones on a shore. All the stones in the package would be the same, within close tolerances. Computer analysis could give the best rock configuration for skipping. Plastic molding techniques could give the consistency and cheapness of cost. Perhaps these stones could be biodegradable or retrievable. Maybe it could be the next popular item similar to the Yo-Yo, Pet Rock, Hula Hoop, Frisbee, Fishing Casting Contests, etc. All these are probably patented and trademarked. Maybe this is the next new one!

Possible Start Building Blocks –

• Existing concepts for plastic molding, hockey pucks, sport flying discs, medical tablet manufacturing, packing peanuts, etc.


• USPTO Class/Subclasses for "How-To" ideas - 473/588, 446/153


• Search string to copy/paste into your favorite search engine - "skipping stones" and theory
