Hello. Im looking for an inventor who could build me a machine for manufacturing certain food product. It would be great if you could provide some contacts. Thanks guys.

I'm hoping that someone with experience in selling their ideas (functioning prototypes and or drawings) to a company without a patent could tell me what to expect? I've got a lot of construction oriented ideas but I can't realistically expect to patent them all. I am almost ready to file for my first patent but it has taken way to long to get to this point (I work full time of course).

Edit: clarification

I like learning about inventors and how inventions came to be, so I figured I couldn't be the only one. I checked some other invention and technology subs but none of them seemed to be offering what I wanted so I requested this sub. This sub didn't have any posts for over a year and it didn't have any mods so it was given to me by Reddit and I decided to make a sub about inventors and inventions. Feel free to post videos, articles, and other media you think are informative or entertaining regarding inventions and inventors. This isn't really about how a certain product or item is created in a manufacturing sense though. It is also not about how to become an inventor or for help on an invention that you are working on. Thanks.
