Uncovering the stories behind 15 of the most innovative British inventions from this century's first decade, The British Library explores how to turn that spark of inspiration into a commercial success.
On display are ingenious inventions such as a self-heating milk bottle, a portable water filter that ensures victims of natural disasters quick access to clean water and the controversial Mosquito Security System.
Yep, that nasty age discriminating one that emits an unbearable sound which can only be heard by young people.
Until 28.11.10.
