Egregoros

*sigh*

Just invented a variable pitch propeller hub. These are typically 10-20k$ systems and my design has no oil, no seals, no pressure, no roller bearings, you can just throw grease in it. Probably 500$ to manufacture. And I'm *extremely* confident that it will have absolutely heroic strength and vibration properties.

Should I chuck in a patent application and see where life takes me, or should I dismiss it as head-noise?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I did comp intel. one route to destroy patentability and protect freedom to operate is to publish or otherwise release the information publicly. If you are just going to release it to the public anyway, release the plans on github or in a journal.
