paul sprain = another victim of the money

[hartiberlin]

I had to remove all the thread info about Paul Sprain?s
new motor, cause he demanded it,
cause his investors have invested millions of dollars
into it and they want first to patent it.

Maybe we can then now concentrate on the design
user Honk has put into the open source.

Many thanks for understanding.

Regards, Stefan.

Hi Stefan,

I had high hopes that Wesley Snyder will show the effect without touching the parts of the motor. Unfortunately, he hasn't done it yet. There have been several other claims, as you know, the latest of which is that of @xpenzif. As a general rule all these claimants disappear without a trace. Some of them (recall that Mike from the Bedini thread, or that latest @xpezif) will hang around for a while just to wet our appetite only to disappear later forever. Take one Torbay, for instance, or that Danny from Ohio or that other fellow from Canada (or were they two of them) etc, etc. Anyway. Secrecy hurts the inventors the most. So what that Frank Fecera and a dozen others hold US patents for perpetuum mobile's? Nothing whatsoever unless they demonstrate openly the viability of their devices which they haven't done yet. Recall also that Paul Sprain was already to have shown a self-sustaining device. Nothing of the sorts yet. As you have probably noticed, I've changed my understanding of the practical role Paul Sprain's device has. In fact, now it seems to me this is a very promising direction to go for practical purposes, if the effect is real, because the brute force Paul Sprain applies avoids the excruciatingly sensitive adjustments the regular pmm's require. It's being a perpetuum mobile has yet to be demonstrated, however. This we should not forget.

@Ergo,

As far as I understand from reading the posts there are complications regarding priority. Butch LaFonte appears to be claiming priority also. Let the courts sort this out. I don't think we can be part of this. As many here know, these secrecies, patent protections and fights are contrary to my core values and beliefs. My goal is Science and patents aren't something that has much to do with it. Also, I don't think in the long run any of these constructions can sustain their patent protection because the concepts they are based on have been known for a long time. I should also say that I think  it's entirely up to Paul to withdraw all his input here, as it is for anyone of us whenever one deems necessary to do so.

They can't. Its been done before. That is why Takahashi never bothered.

Ergo! Why are you messing with me? Please remove the zip file. I should have not said anything. Please dude i'll get in trouble.
