I did not know about this Science Forum until it came up in Google just now. I am an inventor and always have 2 or 3 things going on. Much of what I do is partner with guys that can't get a product to market. I found the answers to inventing and selling several years back after spending over $300,000.00 trying to get to market. I am still recovering that sum after finding out how to get to market. Right now I am leading a group of 6 guys to what I think will be a very big hit $$$$$$. It is a Shipboard Defense System which will end the pirates around the world from ever getting up the side of a freighter to hi-jack it. At last count over 200 Cargo Ships & Tankers are being held by pirates and the asking ransom is from $2,000,000.00 to the last paid of almost $5,000,000.00. They don't want the ship or the cargo, JUST THE MONEY !
I have other ideas that I always need partners to work with. I don't know it all and do know, "Part of something is better than ALL of nothing".
I also do some low-tec things also. I am working on one item that I found a need for that would sell for under $19.95 in all home centers and to many lighting manufacturing companies. I need a partner: This is a battery operated low voltage device. I need someone with knowledge in that field. This one would earn a steady income for the 20 year patent life of the product. abeever
