A while ago I had an idea, and have since turned it into a working prototype. Problem is, that prototype is as good as I, without a background in mechanical engineering, can make it. I know there is room for improvement, but I've come as far as your average guy with a lot of time on his hands and a rainy day fund can go, and it's more of a proof of concept than a commercially viable thing.
Question is, where the fuck do I go from here? I've done some research, but I don't even have a patent since I don't want to patent something that is closer to a proof of concept than a commercially viable product.
What do you need to know, how to build something? FEA analysis? Statics/Dynamics calculations? How technical are we talking here?

You can try sucking 1000 dicks for 10$/piece or 10,000 dicks for 1$/piece to get some startup money.

I need to know how to optimize the materials and the machines and processes required for an up to scale production.
I know how to build everything needed myself, I've built it for the proof of concept. I need to know the ideal materials out of which the final prototype will be made of. I assume with a prototype I can hopefully find someone who is willing to go along with me as I find the best way to manufacture and distribute, i.e. make an actual startup
I don't know if things like Kickstarter are appropriate here

I'm studying mechanical engineering atm. Got no money. How can I contact you?
