Under ideal conditions I would make better drawings, obtain loans to build my inventions, and not have been born with a split genetics from both sides that thoroughly messed up most all aspects of my life that would ever happen to me. I haven't lived an ideal life so I can't give you my inventions built and on a silver platter.

I agree that can cause anger and resentment to well up because some people want to insist that's the ONLY way to be an inventor. So far their answer has been to tell me to shut up and me being told to shut up started a LONG time before I posted here. I have a long history of inventing engines to place in the flowstreams of energy others have ignored (or just not been able to see).

In 1989 I designed a tentative system for getting electricity from lightning & another one from Gravity (not this one, another one). In 2000 I designed a completely alternative design for capturing Wind energy unlike rotating windmills, mine reciprocated back & forth. By using leverage my Wind Engine multiplied very low windspeeds for Power turning the generator mounted on its Base. Almost at the same time I designed a flying craft that by now should have everybody riding around in flying vehicles.

I applied for a loan from Wachovia and they turned it down on Credit History and my 15-year and counting monthly disability check, so all I have been able to do is WRITE ABOUT EM. In 2003 I fixed the failed "air-powered car" first built by Dr. Abraham Hertzberg in the mid-1990's. He had his class students at Washington's university build the prototype as he was far too old to do the work on his own.

I didn't have class students to build my stuff for me.

His mail truck prototype ran successfully in 1997 and was reported in the national News plus
ABC News specifically raised the flag of Victory over crude oil combustion engines. It was Dr. Hertzberg's Mission Accomplished spread all over the Nightly News... til other scientists began chirping & chipping away at some tradeoffs his engine made.

Other scientists killed Hertzberg's car engine.

The D.O.E. had given Hertzberg a $360,000.00 purse to build the car. They contacted him and demanded the leftover money be returned as and while ABC News quickly slinked away in shame for having backed his car to lick their wounds. I'm not drama queening here (previous poster's comment); I'm telling you what happened. The Energy people and the reporters and the national media all had a hornet's stinger stuck in their tongue & they all vowed to NEVER get taken for a ride like that again. My engine creates a blast of WIND not just air-powered.

So when I submitted my engine system of 2003 to the Department of Energy that Fall NO ONE WANTED TO HEAR IT. Even though my design had fixed Hertzberg's mistakes the D.O.E. had already declared it a failed technology and applied that slapped across my new design... that just happens to work. I set mine to inject the supercold compressed air into a waiting engine cylinder filled with superheated steam... which if I am not mistaken Boeing is now using in their new spaceplane.

Hertzberg had squandered the energy; I resurrected it with Power and Might.

1 1/2 years ago I read Nikolai Tesla's papers posted online. By nighttime I had figured out his personal-size vehicle antigravity system and also his wireless electrical transmission of vast amounts of electricity, plus I had designed a system to dovetail with it that would -and will- carry water inland turning the drought stricken areas of this world into great oasis. Power, and solved the drought, in one day.

So right now I know how to make two antigravity systems, Tesla's and my own, plus the flying vehicle I showed how to make in 2003, all sitting, and the same people who knifed Hertzberg -one of the great scientists of our time recently past- have had a field day taking me down.

I would therefore have to submit that the inventing system is seriously FLAWED that expects inventors to always come in nice neat packages from universities popping them out like Toastem Strawberry Pop Tarts and all kinds of people around to help them based on their having a college Degree. You can all continue crying foul in your soup ignoring my ideas but I have to tell you that in doing that you're missing great opportunities.

That being said, I agree it should not be anyone else's responsibility, just mine.
So let's sit back, pop a beer and watch the show I've been watching since 1989.
Maybe it will have great commercials as we all sit castrated up-to-our-eyeballs eunuchs.
I'm man enough to keep doing it; how bout you fellers?

It's good to have lots of company.

When Boeing and a few other people who have used my ideas since 1983 decide to come across with some piddling Royalty monies I earned I'll get up off the couch. I don't like people thinking I'm a eunuch.
