a metal pyramid, is a zero point energy causing/collecting device.

Patent# 3,058,394 states that a 54 inch by 54 inch (flat)square reflector produced about 1000 watts of cooking power.In my case the reflector would be a mirror.Triffid

To all on this thread I mentioned that I had developed a very hot solar collector about 4 years ago but never patented it.I found out about two weeks ago that someone else took out a patent on it in Oct.1962.So my secret info has been public domain since 1962.

@triffid
Can't say I'm surprised.  I did the same thing with my Regeneratively Cooled Ion/Plasma Thruster application.  It had an add-on feature of Edison's linear induction of plasma as part of the 'improvement of prior art', so Edison's work was already in the public domain.  Patent application rejected!

It is patent #3,058,394.I taped(I used clear tape) fresnel lenses on top of flat mirrors to focus the sun's energy to a single point.I mention it here now because its been ignored long enough.Triffid

I looked at the patent in question.  It looks straightforward in presentation.  The sub-patent reference to #3,058,394: Patent #4,022,186 looks just as effective.
Adding the satellite mirror deployment device: #3,174,397 might add an improvement to even that.  I like to add Patent features synergistically to come up with greater chances of patentability.

To big m,I was a little surprised to find it and a little upset that I was not the first to discover it plus it had been overlooked for 47 years,or ignored.Since I rediscovered it honestly I guess I can shout it from the rooftops and try to get it noticed in the mainstream of life.Triffid

I didn't find out about the public domain status of my idea until about 15 years after the fact.  So, you have company in this.

Well, people who do honestly good work and are up-front about giving credit to rightful sources without thought of themselves are often ignored or even attacked for their honesty and intelligence.

I saw it happen in front of me to my former business associate, so I know.

Sometimes it takes a madman to show the world the value of something.Like Hitler did for rockets.I hope extreme solar doesn't have to go the same route.I see these fresnel mirrors tapping into the suns fusion power to power solar powered rockets clear out to saturn(sunlight there is 1/1000 of the earth's).Mars would have plenty of solar power to tap into.No need to spend billions on fusion power when nature is already doing it for free?Triffid
