Cold fusion is now at the engineering stage, well beyond the "basic"
research stage.
And as such, several devices and modifications of cold fusion can, and
will be, patented.
What is even more interesting is that in the years 2003 through 2005,
the Patent Office
frequently has cited the ramblings of Jed Rothwell and Ed Storms on
vortex (along with the plethora
of usual anti-cold fusion suspects) to block American cold fusion patents
applications.
You can't seriously think that the patent office is blocking cold fusion
patents because of anything said on Vortex by Jed and Ed? They've been
blocking cold fusion patents for over 16 years now, well before this forum
existed. Somebody has to get a European patent or Asian patent and market
a cold fusion device. This controversy could end quickly if that happens.
John:
I said "cited" which has a clear meaning.
In fact, by relying on such "cherry pickings" and the rants of the
other 'usual suspects', it also demonstrates
that the Patent Office has deliberately ignored open demonstrations of cold
fusion by Prof. John Dash,
by Dennis Cravens, and by my group, JET Thermal Products, which demonstrate
conclusively that
they have no foundation for their egregious behavior.
As Jed Rothwell has correctly stated,
"It shows how desperate they [the Patent Office] are to find
justification for their views."
[ FWIW and corroborating my post, Jed Rothwell several years ago
previously acted quite responsibly
and wrote a letter which utterly contradicted the Patent Office's use of
his posting on Vortex,
which was used by the Patent Office in one of their unfounded rejections. ]
