World's Most Valuable Patent Released As Freeware
Saturday, July 22, 2006
What has been described as "The missing Tesla Patent" has been posted on
the web site www.fluxite.com .
http://www.fluxite.com/fluxite.pdf 146 kb
The Fluxite patent has not been filed with any patent office. In general
it describes a method and apparatus that wobbles a high strength
magnetic field using low voltage Tesla Coils. According to the inventor,
a person that has numerous core patent applications both granted and
pending, "the United States Patent Office rejects all patents
applications that claim to produce excess electricity, thus making its
allowance impossible anyway."
Without any doubt, a need exists for such a technology. It is
semi-conductor based and therefore has no moving parts. Such a portable,
low cost, clean and safe electrical supply system could be used to
irrigate crops, purify water supplies, move vehicles, and power all
forms of mechanical devices. The purpose of its freeware release is to
put it in the hands of the Internet's numerous skilled electronic
designers in mass and thereafter spread around the world as a free and
peaceful technology.
About The Fluxite Patent Author:
The Author is not seeking financial gains. No attempt to contact the
author of this patent is wanted, nor will any response be given to
assist in the development of this technology. Although the use of the
Fluxite technology is not dangerous in skilled hands, it could be
considered dangerous to commercialize. Further, the Fluxite patent
author gives no guarantees as to results anyone else obtains with the
building of this technology.
