I am Angry - What is going on here?

Bill,

Sounds great!  If you want any of these techs posted online, please provide the links and I'll post at www.green-salon.com, or if you don't want it there, I can just post in the NEC yahoogroups, but that only reaches its 50 members.  The easier to reproduce, the better!  Cheap also helps.  If it's really easy, even I might be able to step up to the plate.  LED light bulbs that screw into conventional light bulbs require as little as 3 watts, so that's enough to impress a few folks, though 1 kW would be about as small an output for full-scale production purposes.  10+ kw is ideal since that can run houses, small cars, etc.

Thanks for the info, as I'm still exploring every option and haven't found but a small fraction of what' out there.

I'm not sure how I feel about the free energy researchers being tied up in one cartel.

There are a lot of patents on free energy systems.  It's likely that none of these actually describe working free energy devices, but that doesn't mean the patent claims can't be interpreted to cover whatever free energy system is actually found to work in the future.  In fact, it's likely that a significant portion of those patents will be interpreted in that way by their holders, because there'd be a lot of money at stake.  It seems plausible that demonstrable, working free energy would get held up for decades by a litigious riot.  This would happen whether or not any attempt was made to patent and monopolize the device.

On the other hand, if all the relevant patents were all controlled by one organization, we'd have a better chance of getting stuff to market. The working device certainly wouldn't end up royalty-free, even if its inventor intended that, but at least the intellectual property issues might be clear enough that companies would feel comfortable building and selling them.

Cheers,

Mr. Entropy

G'day Todd and all

Regarding my background, I am a Nuclear & Counterproliferation officer with the Army, volunteering for DoD while assigned to the Univ of Maryland to bring them adv energy techs if they're interested, while also working to improve energy practices on bases so the need for hydrocarbon fuels is reduced.  This effort helps secure independent study credit for a couple of the classes, which is why I can find time to volunteer.
At the Univ of Maryland I have to complete an M.S. degree in Nuclear Engineering by May 2009, which leaves a lot of time to do this since only a few courses remain for the degree, though I am also helping to establish the Energy Systems Engineering curriculum at UMD, and could obtain an M.S. degree in that program by 2009 if I keep a full load of courses each term including summer.  Through 2012, I will be assigned to the Armed Forces Radiological Research Institute as a research reactor operator, a research reactor (TRIGA) similar to the one at UMD.

Very impressive. The thing that puzzles me here is how can someone with your technical education and standing in the community fall for the technological gibberish of a Lawrence Tseung. Anyone with a halfway solid grounding in physics knows the man talks rubbish. His so called theory is but a number of assertions unsupported by realty, his experiments are a scam, his data are made up and his background is mysterious, since nothing checks out so far.

As to the indigenous projections of how the world is going to progress, well, these kind of statements and your belief in them aren't exactly the kind of thing that give you credibility in the eyes of most.

No, the researchers really need to keep doing what they're doing in a decentralized manner, but funding always seems to be the bottleneck for the open source adv energy techs actually worth funding.

So, you accept unsubstantiated crap, like those spewed out by Lawrence as research material? Well, good luck to your new energy searches. you ain't going to find it in a delusional brain .
