While testing with my first magnifying transmitter (partial) set up, we noticed an increase in energy in the system. This principle we tried to put into a patent which we consequently registered. The Dutch patent system registers any patent with the correct lay-out, but within 6 (or 9 month, I forgot) you need to make an extra payment to verify if your patent concerns something new and something that can be build.
We just got the result of this verification:
- German patent DE 102008029441 A1 describes a very similar principle, so what I describe is not considered new.
- I wrote that part of the output energy can be used to power the system. Their response to this: "That would make it a perpetuum mobile, and break the laws of thermodynamics, so it can not be build"
First....
The German patent does indeed describe the same principle but with a very complicated system and at wrong frequencies (Schumann). The explanation given in that patent is wrong and if you would build according to that description it will not work.
He probably noticed that later on, because he stopped to pay the annual patent fee and the patent's current status is "disposed".
Second...
A petrol engine uses part of the produced energy to generate electricity for the spark plug, so that must be a perpetuum mobile too, then! Impossible to build.
So much for the Dutch patent office.
Well, not that it bothers me in any way. The main reason to patent it was to make sure that no one else could patent it and that has been accomplished. The owner of the German patent can no longer file claims because he stopped to pay the annual fees.
So this part is free now.
But this is only a small detail, the second patent which is still being scrutinized will blow your mind (but first theirs). Details on that one will be released next year.
We're building the prototype so there will not be any "Impossible to build" comment.
The building (small tower) is done, I am working on grounding, spark gap and coil designs.
We will put up some pictures soon...
