It is simply impossible. Big companies are just not interested in independent inventors; they want absolutely nothing to do with you and will most likely show you the door. Now that you have your patent which include full disclosure, you can expect them to infringe it. When they do infringe your patent, they are daring you to sue them. When you do sue them they will tie you up in court for decades because they have better lawyers and they pay them more than they will ever pay you to buy your invention. Your only rational choice is to start your own company to build a few and sell a few. There is no other way for you to go. Done, period, full stop.

Sun Tzu's The Art of War: "In difficult ground, press on; On hemmed-in ground, use subterfuge; In death ground, fight." I say fight since you appear to be on death ground academically.
