Dear Paul........<br><br> 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. <br><br> God Bless !<br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2011 05:02:03 +0700<br>From: paul.olivier@esrla.com<br>To: stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br>Subject: Re: [Stoves] Patents<br><br>Bi-metallic strips cost almost nothing.<br>They activate a small relay that cuts power to the fan supplying primary air.<br>The total cost of strip and relay is less than 30 cents US.<br>What is there to patent?<br><br>Our primary focus in micro-gasification should be to benefit the poor.<br>
