I built a niche little bit of tech (not really invention as much as applying a old idea to a backward field) when I was 19, I could've kept going but I ran out of money on the 2nd iteration because RF is an expensive hobby.


RF is a very, very, expensive hobby. What was the idea you had for the field?


Using RF rather than capacitive methods to detect hits between sabre fencers.

I built the first one basically out of scraps and rtl SDRs, second one out of slightly better Chinese crap then ran out of money.

Would be a compliance nightmare to sell either iterations. If I could do it with TDR instead I don't know
