My suggestion that the justification for continuing individual research on the grounds that someone may come up with a solution by accident was probably a poor choice of words. The fact that most of us who are here are pursuing our own research demonstrates that we are not "hoping" for the solution to pop up. While some of us may be wacking parts together in the hope that a method for energy extraction may be discovered I believe that a considerable portion of researchers have justified grounds for the area of energy research they are pursuing based upon the knowledge they have aquired and the discoveries they made during their research. While some of these people may not necessarily be geniuses I don't think that it should be a reason to discourage them from continuing their research on the grounds that there's someone we perceive as being more knowledgable than them in finding a solution. To me that would be like having a brainstorming session with a group of people and allowing only two people in the group to come up with a solution on the grounds that they are the smartest people in the group.
In saying this, I don't disagree that we should invest in the more knowledgable members of the free energy community. The question is are we willing to invest in these individuals? By investing I don't necessarily mean pooling together a large sum of money and giving it to the researcher to buy equipment, I also mean in purchasing their videos and literature. I recall reading on a forum, I can't remember if it was this one or another, which was discussing John Moray's DVD on his father's work. A number of people were outraged that John Moray was charging $40 for the DVD, some accusing him of profiteering on the name of his father. I don't know what John Moray does to develop a better understanding of his father's technology but I would think that $40 is a small price to pay compared to what we would pay for an instrument or materials and while it probably isn't a "how to" guide I trust that John would direct the proceeds of the DVD sales to valid areas. He probably has sold no more than a few hundred copies since it was released so I don't think his intention was to get wealthy off the DVD sales. The same applies to people such as Eric Dollard. If we convinced him to write a new book and kept costs to make the book low would be willing to purchase it?
As for strategies to have these technologies released to public I think I am as much in the dark as you to a possible solution. The factor many of us agree has prevented the release of these technologies has been supression and intimidation of the inventors by certain corporate and government interests. Whether a device is patented or open sourced, even if the device is relatively simple to build, these technologies at some stage are going to have to be mass produced to make a significant impact and that is not possible if your facility is constantly being attacked or the owners are having all sorts of legal challenges thrown at them. Maybe the problem is that we are focused on having these technologies released in western countries where the supressors are located. Perhaps if we focused instead on releasing the technology in a developing country we may be able to release it at a rate that it would make an impact without alerting those who wish to supress it, although there is the issue of corruption and the justice system in those countries. Ultimately, it may required a wealthy individual willing to manufacture hundreds of millions of dollars worth of these devices and give them to the public for free, then charging for the devices thereafter.
