A friend of mine has designed an engine modification that he thinks is significant. How can he have his design evaluated by experts to see if there is anything to his idea, without risk to his ownership?
He has done a patent search and found nothing like it. (Maybe there's a good reason?) He has had his drawings professionally rendered, but can't afford to follow through on the patent process. With some validation from an expert, acquiring the funds shouldn't be a problem.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
