Dear Anil
Sadly, it looks like Imperialism is still alive and well.
Best wishes,

*Dear Prof Nurhuda,*

*It is a very impressive development and you are right in
expecting a suitable rate of return on your intellectual
property. Such requests for waiving rights have also been
received by us for our ethanol stove work before from some
members of the group.*

*All the best.*

Dear Prof. Anderson,
The equipments used to produce the stove are actually the
standard
equipments used in the kerosene stove production. They
are hydraulic
press, welding equipment, roller, and still many other
equipments.
The number of personals are 30 persons, but those are
involved in the
production, due to still lower demand, is only 6-10 persons.
The maximum production capacity, at moment, around 500
units in week. But
we can increase up to 1000 units in week. It depends on
the difficulty
level, the stove dimension and still many other things.
The expenses used in the development of new stoves are
mostly for research
and purchasing or build new equipments. We have spent
more tens thousands
US$ from our start in the mid 2008. I therefore disagree
to any proposal
to intelectual right removal, as you ever wrote about it
to me two years
ago.
Kind regards
M. Nurhuda
