I've been helping with messaging for somebody looking for demonstration funding for an experimentally proven clean oil recovery technology and it makes me feel hopeless seeing there are so many people struggling to demonstrate potentially game changing technologies, often because people investing or allocating money have little technical competence.

for those curious: http://www.envirotechdme.com

If I could offer you some pointers:

- Separate the Youtube account you use for this technology from the one you use personally.

- Specify in nontechnical language the advantage this tech has over similar fusion technologies. (still working on this myself)

- Seek peer review and then highlight that peer review directly on your website. My intuition is that most people or departments who are capable of funding a demonstration are not capable of validating the science behind your technology.

- I would recommend writing and attaching a succinct summary of your technology distinct from your patent, and devoid of the legalese and cruft that fills up a patent.

Thank you for your advice. Communicating a new idea effectively is quite difficult. I have been thinking about doing some explainer videos.

I took a look at your site and had some thoughts I wanted to share with you.

But does this person own all of the intellectual property?

I do.
