Show it in a particular venue? Suppose money people have seen it;
but, it's not a commercial product. You don't want to dilute the
stock of the company on a known product.
I do not understand what this means. The stock of what company? The
company that made the gadget? Frankly, I wouldn't concern myself with
their stock values.
Would you "alert the media"? (Movie "Author" spoken by his butler when
Arthur announced he was taking a bath.)
I love that movie!
I would alert everyone. I keep no secrets. But I would not "alert" in
an alerting fashion, with flashing alert lights, or a drumroll &
curtain extravaganza. I would just tell everyone I know that I have
this gadget, and exhaustive details and video are available at thus
and such a website, and if you want to see the gadget or you have any
questions call me anytime.
Keep it low key. Keep it matter-of-fact, and factual. Load 'em down
with every fact and figure you can get your hands on. As Mark Bilk said:
"The report should contain complete instructions for building and
operating the device -- all the information you have -- parts,
assembly, everything. Don't hold anything back, and state very
clearly that you're not holding anything back. Put all the info into
a convenient zipfile."
That's excellent advice, except I do not think you need a zipfile
these days. Bandwidth is not a problem any more. Bilk is afraid
someone might harm you, but I wouldn't worry about that. I would do
this in order to alleviate doubts and defray questions. A large-scale FAQ.
Credibility can be enhanced to some extent just by making information
readily available. That's one of the lessons that LENR-CANR.org
taught. In the past, people said: "if all this stuff has been
published, where is it? Is it being kept secret?" You don't hear that
as much these day partly thanks to LENR-CANR.org. Tell them: "it's
here -- read all you like." That often shuts them up. That is why the
skeptics at Wikipedia insisted that no mention of LENR-CANR.org be
allowed there. They want Wikipedia readers to think that no papers
have been published. That is also why there is no bibliography or any
mention of published papers in the books by Taubes, Huizenga and
Hoffman. For them to admit that papers have been published harms
their case, so they practice the Big Lie, deny everything technique.
Don't give an inch and don't admit ANYTHING.
