More disturbing patenting issues...

I agree 100%,exelent first post f, welcome to the forum

I guess everyone who has ever spent time building wheels with their own funds (and that must be a lot of people on here) would like the compensation that a patent might bring. But ultimately you cannot make money out of free energy.

Our society runs on the principal of paying for consumables like petrol, tyres, lightbulbs, toothbrushes and nappies... if energy can be freely obtained then the device it not marketable in the modern sense like an iPhone or a printer is. No investment company would back a design that has no consumables, add-ons, little need for update and obsoletion replacement, and not many components to wear out, etc...

As JC said - surely the whole idea is to turn that world on it's head & throw the money lenders out of the temple? And the only way to do that is to actively popularize the idea freely, and the rewards would be far greater than any sum of money?

Hello f nepure,

Welcome to the forum.

I wrote a nice long rant in response to your post a couple of weeks ago but lost it in a browser crash, so I'll just try to summarize my thoughts now.

If one of us were to accomplish our goal, the energy from the device might be considered "free" - or would at least hopefully be extracted with little consequence - but the device itself certainly wouldn't be free.

A working device that could, let's say, power a house might have to weigh nearly as much as an average sized automobile, and if it were to run 24/7 would need to be precision engineered, manufactured, installed and maintained - like any other appliance.

...and that would take money to do no matter who does it or who is footing the bill.

If we wanted to continue using all the modern conveniences that we have grown accustomed to, we would also want to couple the mechanical energy output to an electrical generator of some sort which certainly wouldn't be free, either.

...but as long as the cost of producing, distributing and maintaining such devices was significantly less over their lifetime than the cost of conventional fuels that would provide a similar amount of energy...

...then...

Of course the devices would sell. Of course the inventor could profit off the royalties from the sale of such devices, and of course there would be financing available to get such devices manufactured and into the marketplace.

How could you possibly argue otherwise?

There would be a worldwide market for a brand new product with no real competition.

...and just how would freely popularizing an idea get "free energy" to those who need it without all the aforementioned stuff being accomplished too?

If one wants to get her done, one should be prepared to do her right.

(Sorry, getterdone.) ...lol

Talk to you later.
