I have indeed begun documenting it.  I have some written notes here for
the time being, I've posted a brief note of the idea (without technical
details) to my journal, and I've emailed a brief description of the idea
to my father, who is a chartered engineer.  As soon as I've done a
patent search and have something more detailed written up, I'll mail out
a couple of sealed copies.
