    NO. I want to keep it secret and work on it on my own.

    My big idea: how about a contest where "big ideas" aren't submitted into the public domain, so those who are really on to something feel like they can enter. If you're smart enough to have a really great idea, you are also smart enough to understand that throwing it to the winds of the information economy is a surefire way to guarantee that you will have no part in seeing it brought to fruition. NPR, I know it's nice to get quick ad revenue, but if you want to have material for a great story...

    LOL... If NPR is genuinely looking for great ideas from people, why put age limits on the applicants???

    New transmission CVT design by BitRaptor. Is a continuously variable transmission CVT gear only (the only one functional in the world), very compact and lightweight, and which could replace the current systems both for efficiency, simplicity and not least the costs.

    Because this CVT work only with pinions is better the all other systems by efficiency and high torque transmission.

    In the web page bitraptor com you will find more explanations, drawings and a short video of a basic prototype.

    12th. And the idea is to become financially literate and increase your financial IQ. Get out of the proverbial Rat Race and become financially free trough trial and error. This idea is not for everyone. Choose to become the 1% or cry and complaint about being the 99%.
