You use two words in the question that sound synonymous with each other. However they aren't. A invention is a physical creation. It has been made. It may not work perfectly, but it does something. An idea is just the mental concept. If you have an idea, develop it on paper in a laboratory notebook which has copy sheets and numbered pages. Date your idea notes as you enter them and redefine them. This will prove your progress and that you were taking steps to bring the idea to development. It also validates any claim you may have against anyone else you may think took your idea, or elements from it. If you're trying to take the idea to the invention level and are physically working on it, record each step in the development of the invention. If you show anyone else the invention, or the idea notes, make them sign a disclaimer that they will not use or divulge to others in any way anything about your idea or invention, and make them sign your notes as well, dating their signatures. Keep all plans and and notes in a very safe place and only deal with people you are convinced are reputable and trustworthy. Don't even let your best friend off of the hook in a matter of this importance.

Well first off, don't tell anyone your idea until you have the money. Secondly, start saving. Do you have any close friends or family you could get a loan from. You've probably thought of that though. Well anyways, good luck!

get a utility patent FIRST
this is far less expensive and will buy you some time to get a manufacterer or backer lined up
