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 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.
