About the open source mission statement

[solarlab]

Jim,

Like I mentioned, the Provisional has already been filed long before I joined this site ($65 so why not).
Provisionals run for a year - lots of time to see what pans out, right?

Since I have not decided anything at this point and can not garantee you anything:

I'll just pull the threads down - and carry on with whatever I decide when the time is ripe!

Regards,

SL

I am interested to see the outcome and of course the build instructions once your model works. I am sure we all are.  But if the plan is to empower the corporations, then I agree with your decision.

Jim,

Thanks for hosting the "EEG_EM_Basic" and related threads.

As I mentioned, all the information has already been presented such that anyone with a bit
of skill can readily build the EE-TFG device.

It works as shown in the many CAE Simulations with little variance - already presented many
times. A complete analysis of the POC is still in the works. All the permutations and combinations
will appear in a paper soon to be published when completed and after a Peer Review.

Copy and store any parts that you may need as reference before the thread leaves this forum.

Whether the corporations are empowered or not is really beyond your "commands" - that's entirely
up to the inventor!

You will see the "outcome" one way or the other, as we all will.

Thanks for stating your view in a clear and concise manner; helps a lot in making decissions.

All the best,

SL

Thank you for sharing what you did.

And just so the record is straight, I am not kicking you out and you have not violated any rules.  I posted a mission statement that may be in conflict with your long term plans. 

If you wish to delete the threads, you may as you are the moderator.  If you wish for me to lock them so they can remain, that is also an option. Or if you wish to continue sharing, this is preferred.

The decision is ultimately yours. Please just keep in mind this is an "Open Source" forum when making this decision.

As far as I know, in the USA, if the provisional patent has been granted, which is sounds like it has been in solarlab's case, then he should be covered. Info he has up on this site shouldn't count against him if he wishes to go further and file for a Utility patent. I ain't no lawyer though.

Just a personal preference of mine is to not see a thread at all as apposed to seeing posts that have been edited out heavily. I know "the other site" that is now closed, had to make it so that posts could only be editable for a relatively short time to prevent old threads from ending up with a bunch of edited out content.

If people are bleeding out in the street and you happen to have a case of bandages, is it right to withhold the bandages until you make profit? ...

This reminds me of the modern day common practice of people taking out there phones to film instead of dialing for help when something bad is happening. Especially gets me when the filmer is asking around for "someone" to dial for help. They are quicker to uploading a video for likes then they are at dialing 911. 

Solving the energy problem will save countless lives...

I think it needs to be done but this is an interesting issue for me. So many contries are dependent on dead dinosaur juice that a lot of economies may collapse if free energy arrives too soon. Yet it may already be too late for it to arrive to stop climate change. Not giving our soon to be Ai overloads an unlimited power source may be the only thing that prevents us from going extinct and yet the knowledge of Ai may be the only way to obtain such a power source.

Not really the discussion intended by this thread but thanks for letting me vent just a little.

@ Chet K. Just wanted to say thank you for leading me to this forum. Saw a link to this forum you had made on another one that is a bit more closed except for referals.

George Washington patented a cooking/heating wood stove.
He was against Patents as a matter of Principle (he didnt have any)
Its the Money creation out of thin air that is the problem.
Made everyone think being "original" deserved a Living without working as a patent royalty, interest, trust funds, singing, acting.
This system is about to end and be replaced by an AI controlled human endeavor system. You cannot prosper under a satanic system, its an illusion to try unless you are in the club and sold your soul to join.
The days of finding a company that will build and compete with a total Licensing metering system is stretching the limits of permissibility of what is coming.
The old normal is being replaced where individuals will only prosper through a 'party' or club system and the very thought of providing any human with a social credit score to be able to buy food and water to find the raw materials to even INVENT or replicate is long gone where everything must go to the Recyclers.
We cant source seamless 316L stainless tubes anymore. Theres not much point in giving the schematics away anymore. Any advice's would lead to failure for the lack of suitable materials. And then to break with the Settled science and tell them how to DOWSE the North Pole end of a Pipe will get you fact checked for spreading misleading info.
The self sufficiency movement is being squeezed out by information technology aka the Beast.
You will own nothing, eat bugs and be happy.
They are registering Chickens now in the UK.
Are you a licensed by the State inventor?
Excuse me sir, do you have a license to give away them band aides, fix your neighbors fence, or even feed the poor beggar in the street? Right along side of freedom of speech there is freedom of association. Without it what is the point of talking?
It was money that made Tesla use copper wires to be able to Meter the usage.
it is money that drives people to patent their invention.
If we used precious metal coinage, all these evils of amassing money disappear. We would also learn what Precious metals and electricity combined can provide in terms of healthy living that we think we need money for now. Squillions in cancer research has only brought remission at best. Its the profit thing. The money expectations of not having to work anymore if I can just find a buyer for this NWO beating device. IMO, insanity is prevailing.
Provided for a more balanced approach to Jim's OP discourse.

I am glad to have you here Magnaprop.

Consider- Many 3rd world countries remain poor because of the lack of electricity.  A production plant that brings jobs and money into areas can not be built there if there is no reliable electricity around.  Homes in remote areas need wells for clean water access but if there is no electricity to power the well pump, the area is "undesirable"  to settle on.  

They are caught in a catch 22.  Electric companies won't build new plants if there is no population to serve, and the people will not populate an area with no electricity.

Yea, this is pretty much the norm.  Same thing here, users have some time to correct typos and edit, but after some brief time, the editing power is closed.  We want to prevent pages with replies to a question that has been deleted or scrubbed.  

Except builder benches.  If a trusted builder is sharing their build, then we respect their judgement.

Jim, et. al.,

Let me humbly ask "What is Open Source exactly?"

And 'when' you are given the EE_TFG "real build details" how, exactly, do
you plan to build and distribute the EE_TFG to the millions of less fortunate?

Or, do you all have another approach to this, or scheme to get it all done?

I've asked these questions before but have yet to receive a single direct detailed 
answer.

So 'when' you have been given the complete build details - then where does it
go from there?  You all must know these answers by now, or you wouldn't be
begger-manding.

Your response(s) are critical in making future decisions and moving forward!

Thanks in advance...
