Actually this is a good idea for just in time manufacturing. Have mechanical engineers / electrical engineers prototype a product in cad and put it out in a catalog. Once enough purchases are placed then you do the manufacturing. Have a cut off date that all of the money is refunded if the threshold is not met. The company keeps the cash in secure interest bearing securities and keeps the interest even if the mark is not met.
