A Clean Energy Idea At an Impasse

Lest you think that I spend 100% of my work time productively, I provide you this discussion:

Reader:  I’m trying to raise money to get a patent on a clean energy idea.

Craig: What is your idea?  

Reader:  It’s a simple yet logical mechanism to generate electricity, just like the windmill, the wind creates pressure on the blades. In my own design, pressure is created mechanically in series thus maintaining a steady continuous motion.  But, unlike the windmill, the pressure is steady; continuous motion makes it more efficient.  Also it could be placed anywhere much could not be said about it at this time, after getting patent then everything would be revealed.

Craig:  Well, you’re at an impasse, my friend.  Are you suggesting that an investor send you money to get a patent on an idea you won’t explain? 

Reader:  Well the situation at hand is not doomed, and I’m not asking for investors to invest. I’m just generating funds for a patent. I’m at the threshold.

Craig:  Well, I like your optimism.  But if you find someone who will give you money to get a patent on an idea you refuse to disclose, please let me know.  I want to speak with him immediately.
