No problem, I understand. You should look into
www.kickstarter.com
They are an organization that allows one to raise money for creative endeavors, with you controlling the project completely. Members make pledges of funds, if you reach your goal--you get the money, if not you don't.
If you are considering it, you should look into it. However, if your predictions continue to be correct, there probably isn't time anyway.
Best.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14570730 But you have to reveal specifics of your project to the members, correct?
I remember many years ago when I was in my early 20's (or was it late teens?) I invented a square wave amplifier for base reproduction.
It is now used by rock bands and to create subsonic vibrations in stage applications, movie theaters, and now in most home entertainment sound systems. The potential payout was in the millions had I received the patent.
. I sent the idea to one of those 'patent your own idea' commercials on television and they never replied to me.
6 months later the amplifier was on the market.
It worked on the principal of wasted momentum in speaker drivers, since the speaker is going to follow a sine wave pattern anyway even with a square wave input due to the inertia of the large speaker cones used with base reproduction,(it is imposable for a speaker of any mass to actually reproduce a square wave) and requires half the energy to make the same amount of sound. Since then I've kept my ideas to myself or patented them through a patent attorney.
If you have window media player, and you place the 'visualizations' setting on 'scope', you will see that most rock bands now use square waves for subsonic base.
THAT WAS MY GODDAMNED IDEA, AND i DIDN'T GET A FUCKING DIME FOR IT.
