Find where to submit a patent, and patent the Telephone as Bell creates that in 1876, and patent the internal gas combustion engine for cars.
Mostly need the engine because I'd probably fail to be able to explain properly how to get a phone working properly, I understand the concepts, but proving enough for a patent to hold up, not sure.
Congratulations, now I've become an enemy of the world because I'd have to use all the money I made from the engines to invest quickly in converting to renewable non gasoline based combustion engines to save the world from myself
You know both telephone and internal combustion engine well enough to do that?
I'd fail without Wikipedia to check the facts.
A gas powered engine, for sure. That's why I said the telephone might not end up holding up. Spark, fuel/oxygen varies by carburetor. Contained in a cylinder. Head pushed up, attach to opposite side, and get your sparks in sync. Carburators don't need electronics so I wouldn't try for fuel injectors at that time. All you need is a working concept and evidence it can work for a patent really. Then anyone who comes about wanting to use the concept, say Mercedes in Europe or Ford after in the U.S. and you take your payouts. Don't need to continue making the products. Invest the earnings into battery research. Paying researchers and giving them the information that we can beat lead acid with nickle cadmium and eventually lithium ion should get us pushed into a company patenting the future of battery tech for that time. Throw in sodium ion based for shits and we've got the future of all batteries for 100 years paying a fragment of production.
*Note by in sync you should be able to instigate the spark just using the downward stroke of the opposite head. So the time could never be off, just have to ensure your spark stays connected to the aforementioned lead acid batteries that we are looking to phase out
That probably could get done, I forget that patents don't need a huge amount and you've got a much better knowledge of the intricacies of it than I do.
I can give you a 18 min tutorial and you'll know how they work as well. It isn't super"knowledge" I'm a doof like all others. DM me and I have no problem discussing how those mechanics work. I started college in Aerospace engineering. Left with a degree in Math/physics and spent most of my career in IT. I promise the aptitude to learn and the wanting to learn aren't on the same plane. Most of computer science proves such
strikes me as easier to make a working prototype of a phone. at least if simple speakers and mics already exist. did they?
The microphone was part of Alexander Graham Bells invention I believe. I assume speaker was included as well, otherwise what would it be used for, the radio wasn't around yet
I was thinking maybe gramophone or earlier precursors. But looking at those things they're mechanically coupled not electrically, so not really the same thing.
