Ideas are NOT patentable. Thats like one of the number 1 criteria for a patent that it must be something real, somthing that exsist or at the least can be shown how you would do it on paper just shy of building it (since prototypes cost money). You can't patent and idea since you can't show it works or anything its just a thought out of you ass till you make it.
