re: A very interesting site
Great link! It makes me think life would be simpler by just giving an invention such as a real working wheel to the world via the internet, bypassing the patent process completely. It isn't something everyone would be willing to do, but that might be the only way some inventions would ever be seen and used anyone. It seems reasonable to think a person could get some return for the effort in the form of voluntary donations based on benefit to the user. Maybe the patent process, or idea protection process, could be updated as an Idea Registry, streamlined with computerized processes and much less expensive. It might put a few patent attorneys out of business, though. Just my two cents...

I personally think that patents in this area of research are a waste, and possibly self-destructive.
Correct me if Im wrong, but all patent applications have to pass by the Office of National Security (or whatever its called now) to which they can decide that if the invention could pose a threat to National Security, ie free energy being a threat to the conventional energy indistries, then it gets slapped with a silence or gag order. End of invention. Jail if you so much as mention it.
I think that a patent could also be pointless in the sense that a patent requires descriptions of the "preferred embodiment" of the invention, ie actual diagrams and descriptions. In the case of Gravity wheels, its the principle that is important - you cant patent a principle. The principle could be manifested in umpteen different ways, negating the protection that a patent could give.
But, changing the colour of a part or type of screw generally is not sufficient to get around a patent, as i read in another post here.
I for one can absolutely gaurantee that if I were to create such a machine you all would know every detail about it first, then out on the net!
BTW I have a patent for an opto-switch so I know a little about the process in general.
Good luck everyone.
