So have you discovered if what you have done is possible, especially for the components of your interest? Is it already practiced in the industry anywhere? Because, if it can be done, it may already have been done. You dug through any books, literature, journals etc? It would matter to find out if it can be done in the beginning otherwise its just a wild goose chase...
