What is the best way to invent something? Like and industrial piece of machinery.?

Answer:

think of something that would make a job easier, safer, or more cost efficiant
Have imagination, patience and lots of money.
Most inventions are done by someone familiar with the industrial process itself. So I'd say the first thing you have to do is to have access to the process you want to improve. I get to invent things all the time. I work for a company that builds equipment for industrial and food processing companies. When a plant has a problem or a new process they call us we look at the process and design the equipment they need. Most of the time they have an idea of what they want or at least what they want to accomplish. Its not as much fun as you might think. Its a job. There are time constraints, cost constraints, process constraints all of which when balance don't leave you a lot of room to be that creative. At that point it then becomes a bunch of detail work, sizing the various components, drives, shafting, bearings, seals, etc. and developing shop drawings so the machine can be built. Its a good job but its a job. I would look for a metal fabrication company or a machine shop and work for them. I'd get the experience by working for someone else. Let them pay for your mistakes. You can't afford it.
First get access to a workshop. And if you yourself are not an engineer or technical specialist, hire or recruit one (or more) to help you realise your idea.
