Imagine that you have developed a concept for a wood chipper that will provide more safety than current products. You have some rough designs but would like to use Internet-based sources to develop these ideas into a prototype that can be tested. What resources would you use, and how would you use them?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Answers should recognize that it is more important to get the skills needed than raise money. Thus, crowdsourcing (not crowdfunding) should be the focus of this campaign. The goals should be to reduce labor costs of developing the prototype. Foreign manufacturers might be identified to come up with relatively inexpensive prototypes and relationships established for future manufacturing.
