If your idea is possible to describe with technical details, has some innovative advantages, know-how, any other peculiarities that makes it special then either:
(1) patent it with USPTO which could take time and require some financial resources,
or at least
(2) write-up very detailed description, print it and send it to your own address and never open the envelope - doing so you will protect the idea with the priority date on the envelope just in case of possible legal dispute in the future.
