[Stoves] Patents

[Xavier Brandao]

Now that you say it, kickstarter seems very “fun-stuff” oriented. Just a
look at the project categories shows it :
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/art?ref=footer> Art,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/comics?ref=footer> Comics,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/dance?ref=footer> Dance,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/design?ref=footer> Design,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/fashion?ref=footer> Fashion,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/film%20&%20video?ref=footer>
Film & Video,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/food?ref=footer> Food,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/games?ref=footer> Games,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/music?ref=footer> Music,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/photography?ref=footer>
Photography,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/technology?ref=footer>
Technology,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/theater?ref=footer> Theater,
<http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/writing%20&%20publishing?ref
=footer> Writing & Publishing. They fund artistic creations.

Everyone can be donors. For the man in the street, stoves are boring. He has
to be amused and surprised to put his hand in the pocket.

The idea is good, there should be the same website with the same principle
but for inventors. It would be oriented to science and technologies and
donors would be peers.

Hello

          We tried kickstarter twice now. They turned down our request both
times. Something about " not in the scope of projects" and or "no projects
which could be considered charity" I was a bit floored. They will back video
games and other such important things, but not efforts to help clean up
filthy air in areas like Mongolia. We are pretty comfortable with patenting
and selling our stove where we can, and helping subsidize where we can. Of
course we are open to all suggestions.
