He probably doesn't believe in social incentive of free technology in hardware field or how this philosophical question is actually exactly called. And, aside from Ronja, it looks like we are preparing another free technology project here, it seems to be an 3kW inversion burning wood stove with 0 emissions, and in future possibly with some sophisticated control electronics. Because my brother built a forward burner turbo wood stove and was impressed by the results obtained through use of free technology (a partial building guide published by our friend earlier - CZ only: http://www.volny.cz/ondrej.tesar/drivkac.htm). The material costs next-to-nothing, manufacture is fast and easy at home, the power output is astonishing (about like a electric fast-boiling kettle). And the fuel costs 0 too (it's dry organic waste like wood sticks you can find nearly everywhere). The device is portable, collapsible and lightweight. It costs nearly nothing, costs nothing to operate, and is good - what should we wish more? I have noticed someone saying "all the best things in life are for free". Cl< > > Stuart
