I follow the general rule of thumb that if you can think about it, others before you have as well. Such thinking won't lead to me feeling hopeful of inventing something, but certainly got me looking up existing patents any time I thought my idea was a winner. I did have an idea for an unpatented idea at one point, but I realized it would be difficult to enforce and not that profitable for companies to implement. So, that was it. I can't even remember what it was, but it doesn't matter. It's very hard to invent something something valuable AND unpatented AND original (not found in "prior art") and then profit it off of it. If it's a big money idea, people will spend big money ripping you off and defending themselves from your protective lawsuits. That's if you can even afford to sue them.

Even though small engines might seem like good candidates, every type of engine has to meet stricter emissions standards these days. You won't find two-stroke motors all over the place like you used to. Engines need to be extremely efficient at burning fuel. If a rotary valve engine suffers low end inefficiency at burning the fuel, it won't be acceptable. If it simply is inefficient with power but burns the fuel cleanly, well that would be less of an issue. So, how are the emissions? When I see the deposits around the cylinder, it has me wondering if the engine would pass.
