I have found that dealing with manufacturers and government both result in the attitude that I am just another dreamer who is not smart enough to actually come up with a true innovation.
Ever argue with an engineer who tried to convince you that there is no energy lost in accelerating and decelerating the mass of the piston and the top portion of the connecting rod 8 times for every power stroke. The engineer told me since there was another piston and rod opposing the first one, the energy cost was insignificant. No thought given to single cylinder or odd cylinder configurations.
Isaac Newton knew better several centuries ago. The laws of inertia do not change dependent on an engine having an even number of cylinders. I was astonished that he would maintain that position.
I was driving 30k miles a year (2006-2009) to show the design to people who I thought would jump at the chance to work with me on development, only to not even hear a word or response. Their ignorance will cost them when it is developed overseas, where they are free to develop and sell it without any compensation to me. I can imagine the predictable respose by the same people who had a much better chance to get into the initial stages of implementation.
