Are the next line of products to be launched Revolutionary-Innovative Products or Evolutionary-Innovative Products?



Riser Products has invented numerous products, as we prepare to launch the next line of products we must decided how we will describe innovative products: revolutionary or evolutionary.

Both words sound the same; is the difference between Revolutionary-Innovative Products and Evolutionary-Innovative Products?

First let's define revolutionary and evolutionary and second we will see how another blogger describes and compare the two terms with regards to innovative products.

Wikipedia’s generally definition of revolutionary is something that has a major, sudden impact on society or on some aspect of human endeavor.  The Free Dictionary (online) offers a simple and concise definition of evolutionary; a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.


Revolutionary Innovation seeks to adapt the world to new ideas.

Revolutionary innovation is the type we see and hear about most in United States.  On the one hand, it can quickly make available wondrous new products and services.  On the other, it is disruptive and expensive, and it produces unpredictable outcomes.  Revolutionary Innovation requires large pools of highly risk-tolerant investors who are prepared to make large capital investments to try something completely new, and those investors require, in turn, very large returns for the few major successes that they come across.

Evolutionary Innovation seeks to adapt new ideas to the existing world.

Evolutionary innovation dominates in countries like Japan, but it is also broadly followed in most very large corporations, regardless of their national heritage.  Evolutionary innovation tends to be incremental in nature and less expensive to develop than revolutionary innovation.  Evolutionary innovation focuses on preserving or gradually changing existing fundamentals, including people, product, and business relationships.  Because the changes tend to be smaller, investment in evolutionary innovation tends to be smaller, and because the destruction wrought by evolutionary innovation tends to be less dramatic and spread over a longer time frame, the costs, both in terms of dollars and in terms social and business disruption, tend to be smaller as well.

It is unanimous, based on the Wikipedia’s definition of revolutionary Riser Products next line of products are not revolutionary because they are not something that has a major, sudden impact on society (so they must be evolutionary); based on the Free Dictionary (online) Riser Products next line of products are evolutionary because they will be a gradual process in which the products will enhance existing technologies into something better.

It is solidified: Riser Products’ next lines of products are Evolutionary Products.

The Naked Truth about Electric Cars

Warning: What you are about to read might disturb you; if you are an electric vehicle supporter or you are shopping for an electric car.

1. Electric Vehicles are actually "battery vehicles" because they operate on stored energy from batteries; they are not true "electric vehicles".

 2. Electric Vehicles (so called), are equally expensive to maintain; when you consider the cost of replacing batteries every 3 to 5 years.

3. Rechargeable Electric Vehicles (so called) are not as environmentally friendly as you think; when you consider the resources required to recharge batteries (on a daily basis) and the required infrastructure to support the rechargeable-toxic-lead acid batteries.

You can find more facts at the links below:



Electric cars are a viable form of transportation. You have to be ready to pay more (much more) than a regular car, but you get the peace of mind knowing that you are doing the right thing. You're helping the planet and you're not sending money to Saudi Arabia. You still have to perform regular maintenance, but it should cost less than what a petrol powered car costs to maintain. Electric cars are the future, but the battery technology has a lot of room for improvement. They outperform gas engines, and they do so silently. If you can afford it then consider being a trend setter!



Here’s another catch: Electric cars aren’t necessarily green at all. Electric vehicles require large amounts of electricity – so much that Toronto Hydro chief Anthony Haines says he doesn’t know how he’d get it. “If you connect about 10 per cent of the homes on any given street with an electric car, the electricity system fails,” he said recently.

And if the extra electricity isn’t generated by renewable energy, then overall carbon dioxide emissions will go up, not down, Prof. Smil says. “The only way electric cars could reduce global carbon emissions would be if all the additional electricity needed to power them came from carbon-free energies.” He also makes the essential point that the world’s energy infrastructure is based on fossil fuels. Changing that will take decades.


Third myth: electrical cars are sustainable.

I'm sorry that I have to let my dear readers know that electricity doesn't grow on trees. Today, electricity is generated mostly from non-renewable sources: Carbon, oil, gas, uranium. The only really significant renewable contribution comes from hydroelectricity, but this form of generation also has severe ecological impact and is strictly limited. Tidal, wind and sun power are rather plentiful, but expensive to harvest, and in many cases the installations required to harvest this power require a lot of energy (usually fossil!) to be made in the first place!  It doesn't look like humanity could satisfy its present energy needs from renewable sources alone, even if cost was basically no issue! So, electric cars will mostly be using electricity generated from non-renewable sources. Their advantage might rest in better overall efficiency. It's possible that burning a fossil fuel in a modern, highly efficient combined cycle plant, making electricity, charging batteries, and then using the electricity in efficient motors, will end up being just slightly more efficient than burning the fossil fuel directly in a conventional car engine. In any case, the gain isn't much: Maybe 35% overall efficiency instead of 32%.

No worries, Riser Products, will soon launch an evolutionary product that will conquer all of these disturbing facts about the deficiencies of current Electric Vehicles.  It is time for humanity to evolve.


Currently, Riser Products, is featuring innovative products that combine the technology of alternative energy and the technology of renewable energy to produce an innovative product that is guaranteed to reduce utility bills; if used regularly; in the place of grid generated electricity. These innovative products are designed as off-grid solar applications, but are compatible with other renewable energy generators (i.e. wind turbines); which can benefit nearly everyone in the world, regardless of location because sun is the earth’s source of radiant energy and the wind is the earth’s source of natural movement of air.
