Any computer wizards on the board here?

Lets take a for-instance.......say a person thinks he has a viable idea...early trials show it can be made to work, but he needs the expertise of an expert in another field to make it possible. By neccessity he must disclose whats on his mind. Whats to keep another person/corp./ govt. entity from taking over? I've been to deveral inventors forum and they all advuse the same thing.....say as little as possible, and at that only to people you trust completely. Are these the issues that Open Source addresses?

Open source as I see it, is simply sharing and working together to accomplish a task for everyone to benefit from.  You seem to want to make money off this idea or concept, in which there's not much we can do for you, since you would need to show us the design.  I would say, yes if you disclosed your idea, and if it was any good, you bet your hide someone will take it.  If it has to do with free energy, it will be a long a difficult road, if not impossible to get a patent, as Joe Newman has come to conclude.

Open source? is that even possible
