Hello,

I'm looking for people experienced with electronics design and
prototyping to help me build a control box for an invention I am
trying to develop to a technology demonstrator stage, at an affordable
cost. This is for an invention I recently patented - GB 1000110.5
"Vehicle propulsion and protection system."

The control box should be able to independently vary the current-time
history through each load - on/off and signal profile (0 - pi
sinusoidal, Dirac delta, ramp, etc.). There should be a current
limiting feature to cap the current through each load, for a maximum
of around 20A. It should be able to remember the activation sequences
and the user should be able to adjust the current-time history through
each load fairly easily (e.g. as a numerical matrix in a plain text
file). Initially I expect 20 independent loads but this number can go
up/down and the design should be easily scalable accordingly. For now
it will run off the mains.

A close example of such a device would be dot matrix light boards with
moving words/pictures on them, achieved through periodic activation of
the lights independently.

If anyone thinks they can do the job, please contact me. Contractors
in the UK - England - Cambridge area are preferred.

Thanks.

Before you develop such a system how about thinking about counter counter
measures.
I would imagine fowling up your system with a few bags of iron filings would
be easy.
I could even imagine being able to use your magnetic field to transport a
charge closer to the hull and using your reactive armour against you.

More armour? Thank you very much

Seriously, the system is meant to work with a collection of magnetised
particles behaving as an aggregate fluid. Having iron filings would
not affect the operation of it.

charge closer to the hull and using your reactive armour against you.

The vehicle is not a single large electromagnet, but rather a
collection of small dipoles. The far field magnetic field strength
decays to an inverse cubed law at increasing distance from the
dipoles, and the strength of the field is proportional to their dipole
moment.

Seriously if I added iron filings then something would have to go as there
is a limit to what you can hold there.
If its your ceramic balls you are losing protection and probably propulsion.
You will have to put some kind of filter in the system to remove the junk.
PS you can't patent that now as its in the public domain, not that it will
stop the Americans from trying.

It isn't a linear add this-lose this relationship.

I intended to remove sizeable junk, but didn't think it was worth
mentioning.

The patent has already been filed, past tense. Now I am trying to find
subcontractors who can help me take it to a demonstrator stage, and
funding.

The search & examination report from the UK IPO was basically good -
no technology anywhere equivalent exists.

In the US you have 12 months from first disclosure in which to file a
patent, so being in the public domain is not a legal bar to getting a
patent.

In the EU you must patent before public disclosure.

Given that the custom paint job alone costs around $200 you could be
right. Having said that, the nanoparticles do provide a rather nice
effect whereby the colour changes depending on angle of view and
lighting conditions. Still, each speaker will set you back around $7k

B&O made upward-firing speakers ~40 years ago. They were quite
remarkable, in that you could stand almost anywhere in the room and get
a good stereo image.
I came across them in the house of an old guy (feck, he'd have been
younger than me, now) who decided to splash out on decent hifi because
he'd gone blind and as he said, the telly was bugger all use to him.

They still do something similar IIRC.
Like you say, the effect is quite remarkable.
However, you do need a rather big room for the best performance.
Our speakers have a 400+400W RMS embedded amp
