Nobody other than relatives will fund a project if you tell them that
independent experts have black-balled your idea.
Contact a mech eng professor at a research university and ask for
a visit with him to explore your idea.
Unless it's a perpetual motion idea, you might get some advice that
would turn an impossible idea into a possible device.
Try easing back on the spending ideas. You can go an awful long way
for the cost of gas, an airline ticket at worst.
By the way, over $3000 of your business plan involves buying a PC and
software to draw things, plus the training class to be able to use it.
You COULD find someone using a design PC and give him $300 to draw
your idea. Like that.....
If you really wanted to go places, you could give enough details of
your thingamee for the people here to pick some holes.
