Response:
I already found a manufacturer of the lamp making machine. His name is Wolf Rosenberg and already built an experimental machine and made some lamps. They were sent to Osram (huge lamp manufacturer) but they decided not to manufacture them because they will lose money. The lamp last longer and gives more light at the same time. For a long time I was sure that someone else invented this lamp because it is very very simple. After spending maybe 20 hours in a patent search, and not finding it, I made a search at a givernment agency, and they still did not find it. I than spent another 10 hours and still it seems to be new. A 70 kilobyte attached file is not so big, any picture you can see in alt.pic for example is about the same size. I am thinking about puting it in a website and if I hear more complains I will. Thanks for your attention anyway.

Bad start. Posting binaries to non-binary groups always causes problems. Sending marketing material and seeking investors gets you no points. It’s not clear whether the lamp will last 3 or 5 times longer as you use both numbers. Having someone who makes machines that makes lamps is not quite the same as having someone who makes lamps. Your post is way too long and should have at best been a link to a website.
