How dangerous is having a free energy device, exactly?

[Cherryman]

Pretty good advice, thankyou.

The only thing, though, as I said initially, is that he has been trying to get funding for easily 15 years, and is absolutely invested in getting a patent. Which I guess is understandable - when you've spent that long looking forward to something like that, it's hard to go back on it.

Your welcome,


I do think however the patent will destroy him, financially or mentally.
As I understand there is no working demo-model jet?
That will make it even harder patent-wise, and very hard investor wise.


No matter how much he has invested, If it works, the only wise thing is name it, spread it.


If it would be the energy solution and proven to be useful, he would make millions in the speech and lecture circuit alone the next few years.


Besides that he would be helping a lot of people, and the environment.


Be a rich hero or a stubborn poor man ;-)

I've said the same thing. That being said, I think you underestimate the stubbornness of an elderly carpenter who has had a big idea rattling around his head for years and years

As I understand there is no working demo-model jet?

There was. And it isn't a jet. It's a pump.

That will make it even harder patent-wise, and very hard investor wise.

He has stated to me that if there was money in reserve for patenting costs, he would rebuild the device and apply. His idea is wear the build cost himself, with investor money being spent on patent costs alone, then lease the patent out to anyone who wants it.

You're preaching to the choir, pilgrim

He's old. He wants to retire, not lecture. Plus he wants to "win".

Besides that he would be helping a lot of people, and the environment.

Agreed.

I don't think he wants to be a hero. Just retired.

[Cherryman]

...
Agreed.
I don't think he wants to be a hero. Just retired.

I can understand that!


Well, good luck, to the both of you!

There is no only one person that can be rich of OU invention.  OU must be shared to all people. Tesla , Moray, and many other have been invented many OU devices and what happen to them?
Tell your inventor that he cant be rich of such devices. There is no profit from patents. We live /still/ in capitalism. Many people will loose BIG money of such OU devices.

You know, not that I don't understand the idea that certain vested interests want to keep the status quo in terms of energy production, but I find it intellectually offensive when people say that such people will "lose money". They will not lose money. The money isn't there for them to lose. They will simply lose future profits that are a figment of their own imagination, that they will only receive by holding the entire world hostage to outdated, dangerous technologies for the sake of their own greed.

I suggest anyone with such a mindset go to Fukushima and ask the local residents if they're okay with being irradiated, giving birth to stillborn or malformed children, and losing years from their lives in the form of cancer just so that some rich guy somewhere can be as rich as he thought he ought to be because of imaginary profits.
