aren't patents 18 months hidden before they get public? like Steorn.

[Prophmaji]

In the US system: Patents are hidden (but who knows, really) from every prying eye, for 18 months, which is the 'application' phase. Then if accepted, (meaning the patent format is correct) it can be seen by corporations, who have been given the privalege of seeing them so they can say that..maybe..they've been working on that for 8-9 years, or some other similar crap. This essentially means that the old solid rule is that the patent goes to the guy who files first, that is - GONE. This means a corporation who decides they want a piece of your patent, can bring 'supposed' evidence thatÃ,  they've been working on such for years..and your patent is denied and their is accepted. This is, of course, after they've been given the 'right' to peer into your patent application.

Total bull, but that particular change to the patent rules was enacted when GW came into office, IIRC. I'm not sure exactly how true the above statements are, but I'm going to be finding the salient details out tomorrow.

In Canada, you can create a letter, file, whatever, with photos that have the claims and process, etc, laid out, and mail it to yourself as a registered letter, and you are given a year to file from the date of that registered letter. When the letter comes back to you, you leave it sealed. Don't open it, it is your commercial protection. this is for Canada only, I've no idea how other countries do it. If you have a good idea and don't want to patent it (no money!), and/or want it to remain 'open source' this is a good way of preventing others from patenting such, as your sealed and dated registered letter can serve in court as a controlled 'date' for 'prior knowledge', or, 'prior art' that can strike down someone's attempt to patent something. Just don't open the letters when they come back, just file them away. This may work in the US as well, I'm not sure. I'll find out tomorrow.

I live about 2 hours from Bob. Maybe I can do a quick look-see as to what is going on. I'd certianly like to take a look at it.

I suspect the patent has been 'approved' but not fully cleared of the Canadian Patent System, and Bob may now be applying for US protection as well.

Bob has an email reply thingy at the bottom right of his page: http://www.newsourceofenergy.com/  Why don't you try and get a hold of him and set up an appointment, Prophmaji. Let us know what happens.

Okay, Bob has posted a new page,
how it works here:

he writes:

How it Works
This drawing is not to scale. It is only used to visualize what has happened in the process.

Notice the weights on the right side and the weights in the center left. The mechanism I am using
propel the weight at the appropriate time and retracts the weight at the bottom so all the weight
is constantly at one end. I have enhanced the actuator mechanism and because of this it is not
a perpetual motion machine. If the power of the unit was converted to foot LBS the unit would uses
6 foot LBS of torque to Produce 200 LBS. of torque and more.
The wheels with drive belts on them represent the drive for the generator.
I hope this will help every one to understand how it works. (Number 1 question)
