To a pedantic non-engineer it could appear that way.
Fifteen years ago was the last time I paid a professional engineer a consulting fee.
At that time, $ 135 / hour was the going rate, which included a 1-hour minimum.
The reason some professionals have refused to help you, or have remained mute when queried about your upcoming book, is that you may be unaware of what you're asking them to volunteer, with respect to their real costs.
It's unfortunate that you didn't complete a mechanical engineering program. It would have provided the insights which escape you.
I'd recommend you add someone to your team / network. Someone like Louis Duncan might set you straight.
