Well AFAIK it costs money to file patents and you would have to have a
lot of it to play games with bogus patents but who knows? It was relatively painless for me to try a few tests but unless I missed something it's not as simple as it sounds. I want to do some corona experiments but I have to make some changes to my power supply before I can do that. If you read the abstract it is written as if much experimentation had been done to find the right process conditions. It does not seem to be the work of someone dreaming up a possible process. Much empirical data is included in the document. Strange indeed.

Even if the process is patented, does that mean that the patent office has checked out the process and confirms that it actually works as described, or simply that the process is novel and has not been described before?[snip] _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/ |
