Is there a Need for My Product

[Arcion]

My idea is to modify the electromagnetic breaks on roller coasters to work on cars and trucks. My question is this: how should I test the need for this product? I know that people will say an idea "is great" when you ask them, but when actual money is involved that's when people tell you what they really think. How can I test if there is a need/market for this product? The benefits of this product would include being more eco-friendly due to less brake dust, and they would last a lot longer due a lack of friction.

It sure as hell look like a B2B product. You'd have to put that on paper, draw up some schematics and try to sell it to a big car company. That's at least what I'd do if I were you. Or, you can implement it yourself if you got a car factory in the back yard haha.

I'm sure someone has tried it, no? Is there very different than regenerative breaking on a Tesla?
