Question: how many of these patents did become working prototypes or devices successfully launched in the market?

Hi All,


Not sure that I appreciate the sort of snooping on my affairs re patents but let me simply say an international patent application was filed months ago citing the prior dates of 2 provisional applications.


There have been delays caused by many things, I am not going to parade them here but they have nothing to do with the Quenco itself, they were matters beyond my control of an administrative, clerical and contracts nature. We have but one hurdle to overcome and tomorrow I expect to be given the green light to conclude construction of the current Quenco device batch.


Those that think my estimates have been silly do not know the difficult road I have been on, the number of times people have broken their word or the immense technical challenges that only became apparent when we tried to do things at a scale of less than 3nm. I actually think we have done remarkably well to be now confident of getting to the end of this stage over the next week or so.


Those that want to snipe go ahead, I am not the slightest bit perturbed by such conduct, I after all have the advantage of knowing the facts, the skeptics merely want to posture and poke fun at people doing things they cannot.


I will not answer the barbs that pop up here, i will say thankd for the moral support from the kinder people here.


Quenco will change the World but I admit to being a bit ambitious to think I oculd do it all on my own, I now ahve the support of a number of experts from stanford and elsewhere, I now have support from many parts of the World, I now have quite a large team who are dedicated to making all this become a commercial reality as soon as humanly possible.


I admit to being too optimistic re delivery but if I had not set myself and others a goal we would find that the progress would have been slower, it is an obvious fact that this sort of work is impossilbe to accurately estimate for what seems simple has turned out to be a test at all levels. I feel though that when I read of other universities taking years to get to only half of what a quenco is then we have made incredible progress unfunded by fat government grants. This really is cutting edge work to deliver a device in such an advanced form, just think of the amn years almost every device requires, we had just me then a few dedicated scientists out of Australia and not a few more at stanford and elsewhere, in total perhaps a few man years, in nano technology that is really very little time.


I think it is strange that so little attention has been given to Quenco in comparison to the pseudo science of Steorn and such but in some ways it is good as it has allowed us to progress with little interference.


Anyway this is my last update before the launch.

Philip, keep up the fantastic work that you are doing, ignore the skeptics, that is their purpose in life, they drive us to do better! Best regards peak prod (Gold Coast)

Phil,  It's wonderful to hear from you again and thanks for another update.   At this time of the year in America people are so focused on the holidays that it may be a good thing it has taken a little extra time before launch.  If it happens before December 25th it may give people something hopeful to talk about in these difficult times during family get togethers.  If it happens after that I think it could also be a good time as people are always looking to the new ways and new things in a new year. 
    I think at this time any lack of attention on the Quenco is a good thing.  It's like a sleeper.  What is a sleeper?  I first came across that in car terminology.  A sleeper car is one that looks ordinary, stock, boring.  Under the hood is a powerhouse turbo-charged 1000 HP engine ready to blow off any hot looking sports cars that think they can impress others with their speed.   So Quenco may look like just another technology to make some energy but wait until the first ones come off the line in a device that never needs charging, never needs battery replacement and can run your whole lifetime without any other power input other than ambient heat.  I think it will grow a hundred times faster than the Internet if it is allowed and will be sought by everyone in these times when being independent of a destabilizing economic system can be so much easier if you have an independent power source.  Power to provide light to grow your own food indoors, heat your home, travel about without huge fuel costs.   It has the potential to be one of the biggest innovations of the Millenium. 
    Hope you get at least some time off to enjoy a Happy Holidays !   

Phil, I'm at my climax when I hear from you.
