To get it out
Some good insight on this thread, id like to share my thoughts.
The hardest part would be getting a working model in the hands of the masses. Its just not feasible to mass produce a device and sell it in the public domain, without red tape, patents, death etc.
The best way would be as stated above by natone, complete dvds and instructional packages.
However there is a LOT of work in that. Joe Public generally wouldn't be able to put something together from scratch, where they would have to find every material required.
Imo, a kit would be the best avenue to take. Ikea style. Buy all materials wholesale, arrange it into full kits. Kits would be sold at a low average retail price of all materials needed to make the device, that way no buyer gets ripped off, or confused about what components to buy. the inventor gets a wage for the time taken to put the kits together and mail them.
At any rate, these factors should be addressed:
materials should be as easy to obtain as possible. as little specialised tools or complex machining should be used in construction, if possible use pre-existing components already likely to be in the home, and modify them, like the PC fan Bedini motor.
It should need as little construction/electrical knowledge as possible, with simple how to construct diagrams at every stage.
Diagrams should also have alternative of components you can use, and what effects it has.
The diagrams should also contain some simple to understand fundamental workings of the technology. Bearden For Dummies style. You cant improve or replicate what you don't fully understand, or pass on any knowledge if its just an Ikea diagram.
What you guys think?
