Ron Davis I’m Ron Davis and I designed a small turbine that can be used to directly power machines.
RD Well, this is an appropriate technology design, and so by definition I built it to be in public domain. The only part of it that is patented, here in Bolivia, is the control system and that was patented primarily to prevent other people from taking it over and claiming it as their own, which unfortunately happens all too often in this world. The rest of the machine, the basic turbine and turbine wheel and so on, it was designed to be copied. Each one of them I offer as an encouragement to be copied.
Nice article. I especially like these quotes.
