I am mostly concentrating on making money another way (currency trading), but I recently had an idea pop into my head and I think it would be a good product. I checked and it hasn't been made by anyone else yet, so that's good. I'm looking for info and books for people who want to invent. Basic steps to take from start to finish. I'm most curious about a prototype and how I could manage that, because I know with what I'm thinking there is no way I could make it myself, but I could describe it well, and make a nice drawing at least lol. I know the dollar amount would range depending on many factors, but what type of capital is a decent amount to have to properly get it going? The thing I thought of is something small (could fit in your hand) and its something a lot of people could use.

Besides good books, does anyone have any general advice for me when it comes to this?
