Magnetic OU principle, You should really take a look at this !

What jack.H doesn't understand is that I could easily dig up many patents his so called patent infringes on, I could also produce patents that utilize a similar effect or the same effect in a different way that is new and unique and there is nothing he can do. I hate it when egotistical people make the silly claim that "this is mine", he knows fully well where he got the idea from and this idea was never his in the first place. In the end I can say very little if anything we see or know is actually new as most everything is always based on some other persons idea, as Nicola Tesla once said "There is no invention in it" ---- it is just another variation of an idea already conceived, at least I and others have the integrity to admit this fact.

Don't let patents scare you away.
I'm not a legal expert, but from what I understand about patent law, anyone is entitled to build a patented device to test for themselves. Patents are  infringed only when such devices are marketed or used for financial gain.  If you think there is patent out there that actually works, feel free to build it and report your findings, just don't sell it or use it for profit.

derricka;

I agree with you completely, There is no way to tell who posters really are or who they represent
and you don't want the competition from parties unknown from being able to deter your work.
I got a mailbox full of spam if you want it to prove it. Make it function, then do the legal, in that
order sequence.

Most of this this stuff has over one hundred or more years of technical suggestions behind it,
so show me your selling product, then show me your patent.

Doesn't a patent require a functioning prototype that does what the patent says?

No matter. I'll not try to patent anything again. If it is the wrong thing you'll loose rights to it anyway. I can just imagine some company stooge trying to build posted ideas just to 'make sure' they are loosing out on a potential product.

This design makes full use of "pull in" on the fanners elements, but avoids all "back drag" on exit of the fanner elements. It's a merge of our Pseudo Solid design and Perpendicular Magnetics design. 3D animation being made at this time. Test machine will be built also. We copyright only to keep someone from trying to claim it and suppress it or sell it for profit.

Mark is building a fixture to find the work necessary to compress the fanner washers in the last test he did.
It took 19 counter weight washers to get the fanner washers to break free when fanned out. He will video how many washers weight it takes to compress the fanner washers back.
Thanks,
