your system of fracture is very elegant Mike and I know perfectly well that you had obliged a gagging requirement.
It seems to me the the opposition regard any acknowledgment to mean - forever
you did warn me all those years ago that working on that system would attract unwelcome attention from some very nasty people, I confess in my enthusiasm to learn the secret of 'mans red fire' (or rather the other mans red fire)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maRanuCqY64 I opted to totally ignore your warning. That was to prove a big big mistake. like king Louis things didn't go well.
To enlarge on that just a little on my return from Spokane my house had been burgled and ransacked a lot of valuable things moved about but left behind, apart that is, from the workshop,equipment and work in progress. That was taken and test equipment ruined.
Both my car and motorcycle were vandalized the motorcycle beyond any resuscitation hope.
Down at my local watering hole the next day a rather big guy (a bit like big king Louis) 'accidentally' knocked me and my bar stool flying - "Oh dear very very sorry - still a healthy guy like you won't mind a few knocks"now and again.I dare say the same goes for your daughter - and so it goes on.
you perhaps didn't realize it at the time (because I certainly didn't until later when I started checking with others who were following that thread and building) but your time and the time of others who had attended specifically to listen to you and exchange information was carefully orchestrated.
Didn't you wonder how come no one building on your thread was there to attend your lecture?
Also as I probed the situation later It became very apparent that the PM system leaks and information passed to those in the inner circle.
Luckily I had Nivisser's contact details anyway. check with him if you wish but you'll find that forum and the conference it organized is actually a self serving 'crock of shit'.
On a brighter note I did in due course build on your fx6 principles at least to a point where I knew it to be 'true and valid'.
you'll now appreciate that our meeting in the airport departure lounge was never supposed to happen I wondered at the time why Matt was trying to delay my ride to the airport until the last moment also why I was whisked away else where (with great insistence) to work on one of those silly toy wheels.
I know you have one or two patents in your own right but the whole area seems dubious to me .From Bill gates stealing and using Sinclair's WYSIWYG system to IEE head Robert Adams miserable treatment from the Patent office all those years ago. If its obviously COP>1 you are simply not going to get a patent. in fact your far more likely to enjoy a lot of unpleasantness or mort.
What profit then in developing such systems?
I confess my own enjoyment is the research and history of really one off,determined ,clever people.
It should be noted that 'concerned' governments one way or another have first dabs on any patent you might choose to submit. The tongue in cheek reason being 'energy could be a weapon of war' I guess a tank won't go very far without a few big mouthfuls of something of t'other . unless fitted with one of Mr Pogue's carb's of course
http://fuel-efficient-vehicles.org/energy-news/?page_id=986It might be interesting to consider someone who successfully bucked the unholy system, a system which actually outlaws efficient solar panels. someone working in the same area you are right now Brad. I write of course of the famed case of Stan Meyer. In a way Its quite easy to regard Stan as naive
that is until you take into account that he was well aware that he was going to be executed.
There is no-one across COP>energy research who hasn't heard of Stan no one who isn't aware of at least some of the sad saga. Most unfortunately at some level view his demise like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuH72G5qXowBut they are aware - In that respect his murder was not in vain.
Its important to realize that Stan was already a Millionaire in his own right . He owned a trucking spares and development company which already boasted several ingenious big money making devices one of which constantly monitored the pressure of all rolling tires and alerted the driver in real time.
In a nutshell Stan didn't really need the money that his water fracture promised. Here however is Stan making it loud and clear (to me at least) that he was well aware of the opposition and what the outcome was probably going to be.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGHv9qrbR5kWhat actually got Stan publicly executed in the 'land of the free' was his knowledge of this catch 52 situation. Stans solution was request his patent advisor to take out patents all over the world . from Nigeria to Swaziland Holland et'al prior to involving his own countries system.
As you can imagine the patent system in some of these countries is simply a rubber stamp money collecting scam, Still when "the powers that be" said to Stan we can't issue a patent because 'its a weapon of war' and further issue this gagging order, of course " in the interests of national security" the calculated response of oh dear me --- I can't do that unfortunately that patent and all its doings is already issued in many other countries. did not sit well.
R.I.P Stan Meyer . A brave man
