There's an idea that's gaining traction in my imagination that a friend of mine has counseled me to keep to myself, at least for now. I certainly lack the resources to put it directly into research and development. For sooth, it'd take an organization such as NASA or the DOD [Department of Defense] to effectively handle it.
My dilemma, then, is simply this:
• If I lack the wherewithal to move on it unilaterally, then how long am I supposed to sit on it? Days? Years? Decades?
• I can continue to develop the idea, but of course. Materials. Any field parameters. Power requirements. Weight requirements. Both necessary and optional auxiliaries. Geometry, to any degree that that's even applicable. Variations. Limitations. Applications. Safety precautions.
For now, being a sci-fi fan and writer, to what degree dare I even hint at it in any of my stories or essays? A little? A lot? None at all?
So why mention it herein, hereafter, or both? Simple: many of my ideas fall under the umbrella that I just described. Well, some may be of scant importance to a great many organizations.
My point, then, is this:
• How long must I wait "patiently" ... before asking for any "assistance" ... on multiple ideas of potential utility...
¿Before I Act?
• ¿¿How do I "protect" my "intellectual property" ... if doing so guarantees that NOBODY (who can develop it) will ever know that it even exists??
