I recently read an article on how hard it is to sell your idea to a large company. Then I saw "a Strike of Genius"... If you are like me, putting out many good ideas, well thought through, its not worth wasting your life learning to be a manufacturer, unless you find the field really exciting.

Idea for sale: Easy Converter of Truck and Bus to Hybrid Electric Vehicle

New and unique motor for electric bus, electric truck or van

The idea:
A new type of motor that enables converting almost any truck, bus or van into an EV at low cost, and without touching the existing combustion engine motor or the transmission.

Truck and bus companies pay thousands of dollars a month on gasoline. This efficient motor, adds to the safety of the drive, and lowers costs, allowing for practically any existing vehicle to plug into the EV revolution.

The idea uses new technologies developed recently, paired together in a novel way. There are no open technology questions.
A wide search for prior art has been done, and none found.

A complete business plan exists. A potential investor owning a world renowned large trucking firm, has requested partnership, following a proof of concept, by a prototype. Various bus companies showed interest in participating in the development of the prototype.

News! A provisional patent has been filed.

What I sell:
Following an NDA, and if you can show that you have developed or sold this kind of intelectual property, I will supply you with more details. If I find it to be a serious inquiry, we may proceed from there.

Market:
The market for existing trucks and buses that would need such a device is well over one million motors a year. According to our business plan, ROI can be achieved within less than 3 years.

Transaction:
I'm looking for a buyer, that would be willing to turn it into a full patent, (cost $4500) and then buy the idea from me, at a fairly low price, to be paid upon selling the patent, or after a first prototype or draft has been built, while leaving me with 2% ownership.

Idea for sale - Lock indication device

A low cost and well distributed lock indication device

The idea: 
A unique device that easily allows you to know the status of a lock or switch, and a method to set it as needed. 


The idea includes a source of marketing and distribution, who would have high interest in this project. Market research has been done, and millions of units will be bought.

The market for this device is currently way over 1 billion units. Since I cannot disclose the field, I can only say that it is an existing and well established marketing route. The unit cost is estimated at less than a dollar and will be sold at approximately 30 US dollars each to the final consumer.

Transaction: 
I'm looking for a buyer, that would be willing to turn it into a full patent, (cost $3000, since the draft has already been done, and most of the patent search) and then buy the idea from me, at a fairly low price, to be paid upon selling the patent, or after a first prototype or draft has been built, while leaving me 2%.
