I have dozens upon dozens of notebooks filled with ideas, some of them good. Each year I produce a couple more. If companies were willing to pay a "good profit" for ideas I'd be rich.

What actually matters is the nitty gritty of turning an idea into a real thing. People will pay you for doing this work. Otherwise, they might as well just iterate on one of their own ideas and keep all the profit to themselves.

As mentioned upthread, if you successfully patent your idea you may be able to get some company to pay you licensing fees if they are working on a similar idea. This is just a hedge for them against the possibility of being sued by you.

Man it's a project with manufacturing designs and materials Not a daydream

I assure you my notebooks are not filled exclusively with daydreams (although that is a bit of it). Many of my ideas have become quite detailed and some I have even executed on! But I was just trying to offer some helpful advice, not get into a dick measuring contest.
