Hi,
As a side note there was a major update to my research outline page.
http://emwiki.info
Yesterday I provided two of my "Free Energy" designs, one being a
mechanical version. This was published in Steorn forum, which I
commented on the possibility that the Steorn Orbo could use the
same technique. Not long after, someone approached me asking to
join the Steorn SPDC group. There's a catch though. You have to
sign an NDA and disclose personal information. There's a lot of
talk about the verbiage used in Steorns NDA. I'd bet this NDA
would kill any chance of me patenting any future successful "Free
Energy" machine.
Hopefully you are aware that anything you publicly disclose, by
posting here or placing on your web site for example, without
first having a patent application, instantly becomes public domain
in most countries, and starts a one year clock for a patent
application in the US. AT least that's the way things used to be.
I haven't kept up with changes in recent years.
Prior art.
I'm not sure what the above is intended to say, especially since it
is not a sentence. However, let me be more specific.
Hopefully you are aware that anything patentable that you have
created and you publicly disclose, by posting here or placing on your
web site for example, without first having a patent application,
instantly becomes public domain in most countries, and starts a one
year clock for a patent application in the US. After that one year
you will be unable to obtain a valid patent in the US. At least
that's the way things used to be. I haven't kept up with changes in
recent years.
