And of course they don't accept inventors Confidential Disclosure Agreements.
They are simply covering their asses. This is an active engineering research area for them, and they don't want you coming back in ten years and suing them because they developed something *like* your invention.
Very few corporations will accept unsolicited technology submissions, much like very few movie production companies will accept unsolicited scripts.
You want to sell your script? Get an agent. Then, at least they know they're dealing with a professional.
You want to sell your invention?
Get a patent, then set up a corporation to license the technology, and you'll find that they are generally more willing to deal. Expensive? Yep, it is. If it's as truly revolutionary as you say it is, though, it's worth the investment; licensing fees for it from a few large corporations could make you a wealthy man.
