My husband is a weekend inventor and he has had a couple of ideas that are way out there. I think that it is a good thing that he also has a decent full time job. Every now any then, though, he comes up with an idea that really has some merit. That happened recently, and the first thing that he wanted to do was to find out about how to fill out a patent application. I think that his latest idea is fantastic and if he can work out a couple of bugs then it has a lot of promise.
