QUESTION: Dear Cathy, I am a member of a science club and during our discussions we came up with an idea of powering gyms with kinetic energy from the users. Our idea involves building machines and gadgets which would enable conversion.
Our physics lecturer approved the idea noting that one form of energy can be converted into another. He asked us to do further research and get back to him. We are however concerned on how to protect our idea through intellectual property rights.
