NEPA said:Someone comes up with an idea to convert kinetic to electrical energy. Who should he contact? He needs to find an Engineer to calculate the amount of energy that could be produced / size of turbine / what kind of generator / size of generator, etc. based on the amount of energy displaced to turn the turbine. Individual is NOT an Engineer. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your consideration.
FredGarvin said:I would think a patent engineer/lawyer won't do the upfront work you would need. You would need a consultant that has a well written out secrecy clause as part of their standard contract. Once that is done and he verifies the details and feasibility of your product, then you move to the patent stage.
taylaron said:if you did come up with a new idea that hasn't been patented, how much would it cost for the whole setup do you think? i have no previous experience here. i am just interested in being an inventor
exlcuding the benefits and royalties that would hopefully come after your patent.
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It is dependent on the mass and velocity of the object.
Electrical energy is the energy that is produced by the movement of electrons through a conductor, such as a wire. It is a form of energy that powers many of the devices we use every day.
Kinetic energy can be converted to electrical energy through the use of a generator. When a conductor, such as a wire, is moved through a magnetic field, it induces a flow of electrons, creating an electrical current.
No, not all types of kinetic energy can be converted to electrical energy. For example, heat energy is a type of kinetic energy that cannot be converted to electrical energy.
There are many devices that convert kinetic energy to electrical energy, such as wind turbines, hydroelectric dams, and bicycles with generators attached to them. In addition, some everyday items, like hand-crank flashlights, also rely on the conversion of kinetic energy to electrical energy.
