[Stoves] Patents

[Fireside Hearth]

Dear Paul........

           I could not have put things in a better light, It is a dream of mine.......no matter how silly, to do just that. I found this enlightening shared vision in your email as I sit in my yard watching over the testing of my first run of factory built and close to "finished" stoves. No doubt I want to live a good life, but things, and toys will surely bore me after time. I think it's much more rewarding to subsidize exactly what you have proposed. Soon we will have good specs on our actual performance levels, and I am very sure we have found a vehicle to make this dreaming more than fantasy. 

             God Bless !

Bi-metallic strips cost almost nothing.
They activate a small relay that cuts power to the fan supplying primary air.
The total cost of strip and relay is less than 30 cents US.
What is there to patent?

Our primary focus in micro-gasification should be to benefit the poor.

If there is money to be made in selling to the rich,
most of it should be directed to subsidizing the sale of gasifiers to the poor.

Crispin,

It is easy to imagine that small gasifiers will soon have software.
I mounted a bi-metllaic strip at the base of the reactor to sound and alarm when the cycle is coming to an end.
This feature costs virtually nothing.



Once small gasifiers become widely used throughout the world,
it will become necessary to incorporate other safety features which might call for software.


If you don't intend to profit from an invention, then open discussion of the details of it, in a public forum like this, will invalidate any attempt to patent it in most of the world, with the possible exception of the USA.
