*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)_/¯
