Looking for an example of how to help balance the Federal budget? From the Christian Science Monitor of October 18, 2005 we learned that the CIA is investing in renewable energy. OK. What sane organization is not looking at renewables? Given the dawning awareness of our energy future, it's no surprise that the CIA is interested in the "Skybuilt" bundle (shown in sketch). From CSM: "Depending upon its configuration, SkyBuilt's Mobile Power Station (MPS) can generate up to 150 kilowatts of electricity, says David Muchow, the firm's president and CEO. That's enough to power an emergency operations center, an Army field kitchen, or a small medical facility...Privately owned SkyBuilt now has a new investor - In-Q-Tel, a venture capital firm set up by the US Central Intelligence Agency. Skybuilt and In-Q-Tel will announce Tuesday that they have signed a strategic development agreement, including an investment in SkyBuilt".
The story goes on to explain that "The power stations could have important uses for disaster relief, homeland security, military operations, intelligence work, and a variety of commercial applications. The units are not yet designed for use by homeowners". Well "Duh".
"While SkyBuilt has 140 patent claims on its energy system, most of its individual component parts are widely available".
We have an idea for how the CIA could save a lot of money. Order an Amish built shed for about $500. They'll send the skid mounted pieces strapped and shrink wrapped on a flatbed, in a matter of days, ready for setup in a few hours. Lancaster's not too far from DC after all. The other route is to order some small steel dumpsters. Turnkey, modular SPV kits are available from Home Depot for under a grand. If that's not custom enough, we know a college kid that could use some IPO help from the CIA as well. TreeHugger has also covered all sorts of dandy do-it-yourself wind turbine kits.
Do an editorial page search of a certain business journal's archive from last decade and we're pretty sure you'll find numerous rants about how naive Treehuggers 'keep pushing those "uneconomical" and "naive" technology ideas like wind and solar power'. Typical of such pieces would be a proclamation that it is always best to 'leave our energy future in the hands of the private sector' and 'keep the government incentives out'. This is one time we TreeHuggers agree. Hundreds of patents indeed.
Though somebody may have "invented" " designed" "developed" , let's say in this case a spoon for a Turgo Turbine ( done by Gilkes in England in the early 1930 ) -- his spoon lacked certain properties that some others improved and could patent as patentable improvements -- quite common in all the world industries -- some chose instead of a patent to keep their work as a copyright product -- which does not allow the "cloning" of the product .
The Turgo spoons though existing in different form -- several types I have known along my life -- can be copyright to protect against "cloning" Which is what RON Davis have done and initially recognized by him when confronted by Joe Hartvigsen and the owner of the copyright Peter Ruyter agree to allow RON to do the copy by paying a royalty -- which "offended" RON.
It seems by the way you wrote the message that RON is connecting with you -- to call "foul" because it seems that he is not allowed to respond to those things..
I believe you are wrong -- that is RON's cry, because the only thing that RON does is to demand and demand and demand where the Widow Carlsson is-- for sure to harass her to no end -- the way that it seems that has or used to harass Joe Hartvigsen.
Question, somebody should have paid to make the molds to cast the spoons, also the technician to form the physical model to make the molds -- the owner of the molds must have the copyright to those spoons made with those molds .!!!!!!!
RON has not, to this day, responded to direct questions regarding this problem -- He is the spam to Joe -- he used to be to me, but one time, I got a message , I think, from a group from AFRICA and confronted him and called : Pathological Liar and from there on I blocked him from my internet and every time he used another email address, I added it to the blocked and send the emails to a SCUM BAG Folder.
His site watermotor.net still today ( march, 10, 2009, 8:10 AM CDT) has the PURCHASE tab showing that his turbines specify SWEDISH NYLON and SWEDISH BRONZE Spoons.
This is in addition a classical illegal advertisement it is called : BAIT & SWITCH -- because he is not selling the SWEDISH NYLON or BRONZE spoon design -- It seems that he is selling Aluminum Spoons cloned from a SWEDISH Designed Spoon. -- STILL ILLEGAL .
I wonder how many people have been giving the aluminum spoons which is a soft metal, even if silicon is added -- very bad for sites with some head and carrying some sand.
I do not believe that the moderator will not allow RON to respond to the questions -- without always asking for the widow Carlsson.
Widow Carlsson is out of the picture.
RON included me because I was assisting JOE in sending a mechanical counter and I included a cheap DVM as a gift to HIM, the counter donated by Joe -- I was going to visit him when going to Bolivia to assist in his turbine design and to see how his idea of CAMPO NUEVO was to even help him financially, but his shenanigans made me cancel my visit and I told him so --which automatically included me in the problem and feud he chose to generate..
The truth is coming out -- and his behavior is damaging, deeply, his wife dream of CAMPO NUEVO.
Personal defense is done, responding directly to those that present the points and not by ONLY asking about widow Carlsson.
RON , normally, runs to capture those that may indicate a slight position toward him -- reason why I believe he has connected with you .
I assist people freely, and in many cases I have assisted even financially to some that needed --
So, I am clarifying my position and for one, I have been told that the says that I send HATE email all over --THAT is a LIE - I do not waste my time in efforts that do not good to me or my character.

Hi Nando. I am sure that you believe you are right.
What *I* personally find dubious is that there was a "creation of an original work." (note: dubious is different than "wrong." Like those that say they "know" god exists, I do not believe you can "know" that the Swedish spoons were an "original work." Like true believers around the world, you are taking a leap of faith.)
I do know that you can't just take an already existing thing, spit polish it, and call it an original work. The next person has every right in the world to use their own spit on a copy, even if it burnishes it.
BTW, apparently Ron is not allowed by the list owner to respond to these things -- for whatever reason -- I am not passing judgement on those reasons. But it is quite obvious that anti-Rons are frequent posters here without Ron's personal defense.
Like I said before, it takes a leap of faith to throw in with either side in this feud.

Everyone mentioned by name on this site is invited to comment or respond to the postings. If anyone feels that something said here is untrue or unfair, they are invited to post their comments on this site.
This blog became necessary as a result of clandestine censorship on the Internet. It is an antidote to the denial of freedom of speech, right to respond to public accusations, and the general unfairness, which has been practiced on us. In other words, I do not want to do unto others as has been done to me.
This blog is also also similar to wikileaks in that it reveals truth regarding wrongdoing which has been practised and deliberately concealed by powerful individuals and organizations. It reveals the turning of a blind eye by individuals who claim to be committed to the truth.
As much as possible I have tried to present the emails exchanges as documents on their own, and to minimize my comments and observations, leaving it to the reader to form their own point of view.
