Hybrid Boat

I have a design for a hybrid boat that I have researched and I have not found anything like it that has been patented. I am looking for an adventurous boat builder to help me with the prototype. In return, I would be willing to share the patent and thus the profits if sold. If you are interested and willing to sign a nondisclosure agreement, please contact me at peetgr@aol.com.

I'm not interested in building a boat for you. However I am interested in your proposed process as part of my hobby.

I like what GM is doing with their concept car the Chevy "VOLT".

My dream hovercraft will take some kind of fuel to be converted to electrical power to drive motors. Atlas hovercraft is doing this now.

The US military has put some money into this process as well.

Chevy Volt

In addition to my hybrid boat design, I have a design for a hybrid car and a tractor and trailer. I am trying to get my boat design in the works to make me some money so I can build my prototype for the car and tractor and trailer. Remember my name Peet.

Peet's Electrical Energy Turbine

Magnetize the turbine blades so they generate an electrical current as they spin............DONE!

........all the gold is mine, mine mine mine!

The real money is in hybrid hovercraft.

Just kidding.

There is a Russian engine using a boxer layout which proposes putting magnets on the pistons to generate current. I just connected the dots, not saying it's possible, practical or even close to Peet's idea.

Hybrid Design

Not even close guys. I do have a design for a boat, car, and tractor and trailer and I will take them to market. Mark my words. Mockery is easy for the ignorant.

I never mocked you, just pointed out that many people are working on many things all at once.

Such is the history of invention.

and.........all the gold is mine.

Aside: The shelves in my office and in my home are filled with models - original designs (airplanes, hovercraft, cars, trucks, dream houses), most of them just static sculpture. Boxes and boxes of sketches and drawings all over the house too. I wish you luck, dreams are great but you have to pay the bills too. Daddy didn't work in the factory because he liked it, had tiny mouths to feed.

10 Tips For Inventors
http://smallbusiness.findlaw.com/pat...ntor-tips.html
Be discreet. Do not talk about your invention with people who are not bound by a confidentiality agreement..................looks like you are starting out right - I guess.

I don't mean to be a jerk, sorry if came out that way.

I jus love being igerant! But no, if you have a dream and a good invention then yes all the gold is yours, just do not expect us to finance it without some kind of proof that it IS sound!

I wish you luck with it whatever it is, but please see above!! so I end up poor maybe but not stupid maybe!

I want someone to build me a boat so I can drive it with this flutter device. I'll share all the cod we catch 50/50.

OK so yeah it works, now can you make it of a size to be any use? there lies the trick!!

Eventually, yes; but in the meantime we grow old and die, over to you grand son "one day all this will be yours", is it any use? ..................

Rules for buisness.

Rule 1.
When asking for help, dont call potential help "Ignorant"

Rule 2.
When asking for help/money expect to lose 70% to 90% of your project in payment.

Rule 3.
Venture capitolist expect 9 out of 10 projects they fund to fail, why wont yours?
