Kevin,
It is a stretch and an insult to everyone on the stoves list to suggest that they are practicing ?classic imperialism? or ?technology capitalism.?
# Such a characterisation may very well be insulting to those who attempt to take improved technology from those who developed it for those who need it, but I would suggest that it is far from an insult to the many very generous people on this list who trulg aim to help those in need.
Are their people in the stoves community who take advantage of others? Unfortunately there are but they don?t necessarily fit your labels.
# The formula that seems to work is to bring technology to those in need, so that they can then help themselves. Seeking free access and removal of intellectual rights to improved technology already in the hands of those in need would seem to be the reverse of the formula that seems to work.
Now if I were to characterize you with your musing as an otherwise intelligent old man who exploits this list just for his own entertainment, and no productive purpose, then I would call that ?intellectual imperialism? because at those times you dominate the list and rob us of valuable intellectual resources that should be used to help those in need.
# I apologize to you and to any List Members, where my views come across in this selfish and obnoxious manner. My intent is to be supportive of the purpose to which your stove site, http://stoves.bioenergylists.org/ , is dedicated:
" Our site is dedicated to helping people develop better stoves for cooking with biomass fuels in developing regions."

Dear Ronald
I was struck by the apparent parallel between "Classic Old Time Imperialism" in the Physical world, and "Technology Capitalism" in the "Stoves World." Examples of the "Classic Old Time Capitalism" would be of the Romans who conquered Countries for their Resources, and the Spaniards conquered the Mayans and Incas for their Gold, as compared to "Technology Capitalism", where a Member or Members of the "Stoves List World" seek to take New Technology, "The Gold of the Stoves World" from "lesser powers."
Imperialism is defined at http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/imperialism Classic Imperialism usually involved exploitation of a smaller or weaker Country or people by a more powerful Government or Country, where "the Imperialist" takes labour and tangible resources from the Country or people it dominates. The parallel with "Classic Imperialism" is perhaps weak, in that neither Governments nor tangible resources are involved, but rather, Individuals and abstract Technology.
Perhaps my parallel was "too big a stretch." What do you think?
Best wishes,
Kevin

Please define "Imperialism" since it's not clear from the context what you mean.

Dear Prof Nurhuda,
It is a very impressive development and you are right in expecting a suitable rate of return on your intellectual property. Such requests for waiving rights have also been received by us for our ethanol stove work before from some members of the group.
All the best.

Dear Prof. Anderson,
The equipments used to produce the stove are actually the standard
equipments used in the kerosene stove production. They are hydraulic
press, welding equipment, roller, and still many other equipments.
The number of personals are 30 persons, but those are involved in the
production, due to still lower demand, is only 6-10 persons.
The maximum production capacity, at moment, around 500 units in week. But
we can increase up to 1000 units in week. It depends on the difficulty
level, the stove dimension and still many other things.
The expenses used in the development of new stoves are mostly for research
and purchasing or build new equipments. We have spent more tens thousands
US$ from our start in the mid 2008. I therefore disagree to any proposal
to intelectual right removal, as you ever wrote about it to me two years
ago.

Dear Paal and all,
While I agree with Paal, I point out one important additional element.
The need to have good stoves available for the end users.
The GACC is involved in many aspects of stoves, but one in particular is
the stimulation of the supply of the stoves. Stoves PLURAL and of
numerous types. Which stoves, and where, and by whom are part of the
basics that GACC is facilitating while not doing nor dictating. Not an
easy task.
So, linking Paal's comments and the GACC, should and can more attention
to the end users be given by the GACC? And if so, then how, when, etc.

Dear Ron and Tom and All
I was asked by a permanently employed person as recently as this week to donate the IP for a stove to help the poor. It costs between $20,000 and $1m to develop a novel stove and bring it to the end of the assembly line - to say nothing about getting it into the market.
Paal, how long, in hours, did you spend perfecting the Peko Pe? I am always happy and impressed that so many people volunteer their time even if they have no stable income, just to make the world a better place. Sometimes it is to get one's ideas out there and 'helping' sometimes it is part of a larger marketing exercise.
What I favour (and have done it) is to pay to someone a small fee of my own devising if I use an invention I consider significant and helpful even if the person doesn't ask for it and doesn't need it.
Think of this as inverting the typical theft of intellectual property: paying something for every helpful idea because it is the right thing to do! Instead of looking to get something valuable for free and assisting others, how about it being the new normal to thank the inventor even if they didn't want it? They can divert the income to a worthy cause if they wish.
The morality of this is evident: the beneficiary is just as obligated to the inventor as the intermediary. It is not true at all that 'poor people' should not be a normal part of a functioning society. Playing it that way is to diminish their full social status and damage their self-image, however subtle the effect.
We should thank and reward our 'teachers'. Even if it is a meal of appreciation fed to non-needy but capable inventor discharges the intellectual property.
Regards
Crispin

Dear Stovers,
Perhaps I haven't thought about all the working of getting stoves to the
masses but it seems to me they are all -purchased- for distribution from
NGO's and the like. My thinking is that there need be a catalog of
'approved' stoves. Stoves grouped as to fuel type, stove type, in or
outdoor, passed efficiency tests etc. Then anyone can design and build a
mockup, have it tested and grouped (at their expense) and if all goes well
have it in the catalog to be possibly chosen. Then a small part of the cost
per stove (production, distribution, on site research etc.) goes to the
designer. There is no short of market (so many people need stoves) there
must be a better way to make this work than designing a stove from tin cans
then running all over the World to sell it like Paul and Dean are dong. We
need to define the methods to test stoves to give then the Groups they
belong in etc. It's the Wild West out there!
