Haha. This thread got humorous in the last 12 hours. I'm glad you all enjoyed my idea so much. I'm gonna stay off
autogyro for now lol. Point is that I put an idea out there and I got awesome feedback and went from reverse engineering an idea (still vaporware) to A fully formed idea in less than a week. Chris - many thanks for your input. I figured out the dampening issue. Diesel tech from my 1994 E 300 D provided me with the solution to that one lol. I figured out the gear linkage mechanism for the most part. I also figured of securing the planetary gears without sacrificing too much space or weight. I have a team of industrial engineers already (yea I'm 20 but my dad and uncle are well connected in the business and engineering world.) downforce, you have helped me out a good bit, too. I appreciate it alot. I'll keep you all updated as progress goes along. Patent should be filed before the end of the year. After it is successful, I will post the patent form from the US gov't patent office.
As for you
autogyro. I'm sure you have an idea that I am missing. It's pretty inevitable. However, if you feel as if you can patent it, I would be glad to buy the idea off of you if it's worth buying. That is about a year or two down the road but since I am a straight-to-engineering kinda guy, the overhead would be low and your idea may be economically viable. It's pretty amazing how an idea can be taken from theory to business model so quickly.
For everyone else. If you have questions about something motor racing related, or maybe anything lol (the 'i don't get this, where the hell is minacciol?!?' scenario) then email me lol.
The.black.sheep07@gmail.com is where you can get me. I'm a motor racing outsider but I love problem solving, occasionally way outside of the defined box, and I figure that if there is a logical problem, I bet I can solve it or move understanding closer to what is needed to solve things.
Cirro. Would you mind deleting all the quotes of my idea inthis thread? Until it is protected I'm alittle nervous about having my ideas in an open space. Chris, I know your ideas are your own, but can you remove those too? I'm not demanding, but I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks a ton again.
Autogyro. Have you ever considered full sentences?? Lol.
And to everyone in this forum, whether you posted in this thread or not, and this includes
Autogyro. You have been awesome. I've learned a ton on this site. I'm gonna get involved more.
