Innovation does not come out your pocket.
Lots of other things come out your pocket, but that might take us off topic to a dark place best not discussed or thought of.

The US NRL built the first functioning purpose built radar set in 1934.
The German Zuse Z3, and American Atanasoff–Berry were built years before Colosuss.

I've seen people who have made $15 night vision devices out of sunglasses, a couple of filters and some IR LEDs. Which makes me wonder how such vehicles would appear though a viewer that filters out visible light leaving just IR or UV light.
