I used compressed air to remove concrete headstones from moulds as 99%+ were previously unrepairable. The local authority, I worked for at the time of my idea, were supposed to pay staff ($300) that saved money, earnt them money, or reduced complaints. In return, they owned any idea/invention that staff came up with ( had to sign an agreement before employment. I saved them heaps but the manager refused to pay me the $300 as he thought it was someone else's idea. I had simply reversed a woodworking theme of suction to a table. Idiots; as I had heaps of ideas but didn't share after the successful implementation of the compressed air through a tyre (tire) valve stem without receiving the lousy 300$.
