An idea can be a thought.

An invention generally requires considerably more.

Sometimes an inventor has developed a working prototype. Sometimes the invention exists primarily as a technical concept. Sometimes there is an engineered solution that still needs refinement.

The important question is:

Can you clearly explain (in words) what is new (novel), how it works and what problem it solves?
