If you come up with a Genius Invention, How do u patent it?

[D]

Journey and I have came up with an AWESOME invention.  I could never construct this or even know how to make it work but the idea is a billion dollar idea. Only thing is, How do u go about patenting something like this? Do u have to know how to construct or make the idea work? Or is just having the idea enough?

let me guess.
Here's the plot.
"I like running, running is good, I run everyday, I love to run, running is my life! I've lost weight by running and running makes me feel good when I run! But it's getting boring to run the treadmill, so I patented "D's outside running journey, by D for runners everywhere!"

First you need to file an application with the U.S. Patent office, I suppose. Then find a sponsor (corporation or individual) who can 'construct' whatever it is that you have invented and sell / market it for you. Negotiate a deal with them such that you get a percentage of the earnings from the invention. If it's as 'AWESOME' as you claim, you should have people queuing to partner up with you.

Disclaimer: Of course, IANAL so you should consult with one first.

Haha, "D's outside running journey kit".  Inside you'll find a pair of already broken in Chuck Taylor Converse sneakers, a pair of nut hugging adidas running shorts circa 1975, two pairs of knee high striped socks, a Team USA olympics tank top, head band, wrist bands, Sony walkman w/ Paula Abdul tape (batteries not included...this is the co-tie in deal with Duracell) and drinking bottle with lifetime supply of tap water......For only 4 easy payments of $29.99

Act now and you'll also be sent a jump rope and complete Richard Simmons "Sweating to the oldies" mix-tape....with songs chosen by D himself.
