I have an idea for a generator that runs on its own power, how do i get it looked at?

Question

It will run in all conditions, with only 2% pollution. if that. I just don't want the invention stole from me, I have a pretty sound blue print, But need the math done on it. I asked a Invention company to make it, but they said they didn't want to hurt the Oil Companys, What can I do, I know it will change the World.

Answer 1

start by patenting every single part of the design that somebody else hasen't already patented, as well as the design itself-do this for every stage of your design, even your original sketches. That should prevent anyone stealing/modifying your design. Now build a prototype and test to see if it works. this is a critical step, because even things that are very sound on paper may be impractical in reality.

Now make new blueprints changing any part you didn't like about the original design and patent them again. All these patents are to make sure that nobody takes your idea at any stage, tweaks it and gets it into production before you do because their idea is just a little different. make another prototype, and test it. continue with these steps until you are satisfied with your product.

Then you can try to get some people exited about your amazing new product(and since you have already patented it, you can demonstrate how it works too) You may be able to get them to support you, and form a small company making them, and getting steadily larger as more and more people want it until you replace all the big oil companies with your invention.

Answer 2

First of all, there is no such thing as a generator that runs on its own power. That would be a perpetual motion machine. If you DO have one, then you will be a millionaire. One thing though, DON'T go to invention companies! They are out to steal your ideas. I tried it. I don't know where you're at, but in Cleveland there is a group called Inventors Connection of Cleveland. http://members.aol.com/icgc/ If you're not in Cleveland I don't know if they could tell you where to find help where you're at. Read through the web site, there's still a lot of information you could use. If you can't find a group at least talk to a patent attorney and a mechanical electrical engineer.

Answer 3

Do your own math. Build you machine. Just a small prototype. It doesn't have to be expensive or big; it just has to work. Then LET PEOPLE STEAL YOUR IDEA. No oil company can kill an idea once it is in the public memory.

But I suspect your idea won't work. If you were really smart enough to make something like that, you wouldn't be asking such a question here.

Answer 4

You're going to need a patent and a prototype.

No major company is going to spend money on a theory, and they'll need something that actually proves that what you have on a blueprint would actually work and would be practical for the uses you're thinking about.

I believe you can get a patent on the idea and the blueprint, and then once you create a prototype, on that, as well.

Answer 5

I specialize in alternative energy. My car that i built runs on a combination of hydrogen and homemade bio-fuels. I would be glad to take a look at it and "do the math on it" for free. Good luck getting a patent, they're very expensive. I've looked at getting some for some of my inventions.

Answer 6

In different words, a perpetual action gadget. in case you may pull that off, under no circumstances strategies a patent, you would be due a Nobel Prize for demonstrating that the 1st and 2nd regulations of Thermodynamics have been incorrect. yet once you think of this could artwork you may could build and post a working prototype of this to the Patent place of work with a view to be offered a patent. Perpetual action machines are the only varieties of contraptions the place the Patent place of work demands an actual working style. imho: you're making a variety of of undesirable assumptions and any attempt to construct this style of ingredient could be a waste of it slow and money, yet hi, good luck and wait for reading approximately you proving me incorrect in scientific American.

Answer 7

First, get a patent. This will protect your invention. Once you have the patent, you can approach anyone with the idea and if you can sell it, you can go forward. Of course, to sell it you will need to be able to explain how you have overcome the second law of thermodynamics. This might be a problem.

Answer 8

I have no answer but to write every thing down and date it and take date time stamp pictures.
I also have an Idea for a power generator I will start building with in a year.

Answer 9

I agree with the answer that says build the prototype then go for the patent.
I have an idea as well. I also have the platform for my idea.
I suggest building your idea using it for some application you have intended to use it on for testing. Test it as discretely as you can. This is what I intend to do with my idea. I want my idea to be a practical working alternative, actually in several applications.

Like Ulysses in Homers Odyssey, I am intending on outwitting Cyclops. :)

Answer 10

The US patent office has made it a policy that they will no longer even CONSIDER a perpetual motion machine for patent.

No one with any sense will either.

A generator that runs on its own power = perpetual motion.

So either you are describing your idea very poorly.. or it will have a basic flaw that you are ignoring.
