All,

I built a prototype exercise machine and I am testing it. I am near completion of the testing and the results are VERY promising.

I am now trying to accomplish all (or most) of the following:

- read David pressmen's huge patent book
- patent the technology
- designing the simplest form of the machine as I possibly can
- have a manufacturer build the final design
- either license the technology to a company that makes fitness equipment or try to sell it myself


1. I am struggling to find a manufacturer that will Make my machine (or components of it) with the same feel as the prototype (cheaply).
2. I built the prototype out of metal and some parts from another exercise machine that performs a completely different function. So I am wondering if I am able to use any of the types of parts that the other machine used in order to make my machine work... Or if any components of the other machine is patented (because I know the entire thing is patented). If I can this will reduce cost as I won't have to redesign those attributes.
