The question: What do / can I do with this now? It’s a lift device unlike anything now available. I call it the Scorrendo. I’m begging, but only for comments. Thanks in advance.

If anyone is more than merely curious, I can email a link for a second Drive doc that provides considerable detail concerning how this thing works. Please see my profile. (BTW: The second file has more detailed drawings.)

I’m a land development engineering tech that lost everything post-crash. As the last page in the link says, I’m still sleeping in my truck. The Scorrendo was developed over McDee’s and friend’s WiFi; the drawings were done on a piece of Masonite in my lap. I’m NOT whining, but rather saying that even the down and out are potentially resourceful and perhaps even useful.

The link explains my idea [PDF, but can be read without download]. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6CeyVxyZP2bVk9IdFlNSGtZaGs/edit?usp=sharing
