CIPO Patent - ELECTROLYSIS CELL AND INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE KIT

It is what it is... I just thought someone out there might want it.... seeing as it does not exist in the patent data base anymore.

Interesting. I think this is a Canadian patent:

US number is 7,143,722

I have been holding on to this for over ten years. Thought I better share it. You will notice if you go to the CIPO website it is no longer listed. Its just gone. Completely disappeared. Lucky for us all i saved it when i stumbled across it. I have contacted the Canadian Patents Office three times in the last ten years trying to buy a hard copy of the patent.... to no avail. They tell me there was never a patent registered under that number. Funny, since i downloaded it off their site.....     I also... somewhere in my endless piles of useless data have another patent by an A. Bradley 1976 which is very similar to this one. It too 'Does not exist anymore.....' It was patented by the U.S.A. patent board. Definitely NO supresion of information going on at all......  I have tears in my heart for the whole human race. What are we doing to each other? PLEASE SAVE THIS AND PASS IT ON TO ANYONE WHO CAN DO ANYTHING WITH IT!    I have held on to it long enough.

You have tears in your heart for the human race?  Why are you being such a drama queen?  The Canadian patent number you cited was for a patent application.  Maybe it was rejected, and that is why it is no longer on file.  Obviously it still exists out there.  I think this WIPO patent is for the same thing.  I guess you were crying so hard you did not have time to Google the first sentence of the patent.

Does rather make you wonder why anyone would try to patent a standard electrolyser.

Perhaps this person failed to realise that this technique for liberating H2 and O2 from water had already been understood and accomplished a few years back, by a certain, M. Faraday.

A bit like me applying for a patent for the wheel... very odd!
