   So what do you have to do to get noticed when you have a viable way of making 3/4 of the world's electric supply, with out making any pollution, with out having to pay out for a fuel. Thus halving the cost of production & making it cheaper for the consumer. The only problem i have is it's to big & carn't put it onto paper to get patent.

   I wrote on this board earlier, asking for advice, I am doing the same again now. Are there actually any dedicated websites that are run by entrepreneurs for advice, or do we all have to wait to get on Dragons Den?

   I have had an idea to improve an exsisting idea for a few years now, I actually sent off my idea to a well known inventions company, and for them to do a computerised graphic design of my idea, and also a basic patent search, which came back clear, it cost me £500, the product would be cheap to produce, sells by the millions a day, and they did a forecast which they said is conservative, would bring in a few million a year. They want 5% of the profits for the 1st 5 year, but it's going to cost me £6'500 to get it up and running, for legal fees and a presentation of the idea to companies to take it on. They gave me other ideas of selling the idea as a one off, or taking it into production myself (expensive) The problem is I have a Son in College, and have just discovered my wife has MS, and as I am the only one bringing a wage in, I can't find the £6'500 without risking my home. Does anybody have any ideas?
   Thanks
