A visit
to the land of "What
Might Have Been"
Available space limits
the above discussion;
however, before we move on to the engines, let's visit the fantasy land
of "What Might Have Been" and see who, as the result of the suppression
of the new technology discussed in this manual, has likely lost what.
In this fantasy land, the
postal system actually
delivered inquiries about the engineering and licensing of the patents
resultant the advertising and engineering information packages I
disseminated.
- In reality I've
never received any inquiries
about licensing and very few inquiries about the engine's engineering
and
none of these substantive.
Still more incredible, in
fantasy land, I received
phone calls from interested engineers and manufactures concerning the
patents,
their licensing and relevant engineering in response to the advertising
I'd placed.
- I did receive one
phone call from a prison
inmate and another from a machine tool manufacture. The last seemed to
terminate oddly, and I could never successfully follow it up.
That is, in the fantasy
land of "What Might
Have Been" I had viable lines of communications.
Let's further speculate
that small manufactures,
tool and die shops, engineering development companies and talented
individuals
intent on starting new companies, licensed exclusive chunks of the
engine
and pump patent monopolies and these licensees' successfully developed
and marketed the engines and pumps of their licenses.
Let's now scale the
beneficiaries of the above
scenario in this "What Might Have Been" land.
Being the [patents]
inventor, owner and licensor,
I would have in time become "little rich" - using the Ross Perot scale
of wealth - and the licensees would have become rich to extremely rich.
However, its the banking
industry that would
have gained the greatest wealth from the new technology's
exploitation.
These are the
investment banks
initially financing the various licensees, the commercial banks
supplying
the capital to build, expand and equip the licensee's factories, and
the
ubiquitous "personal" banking establishment in its various embodiments.
The later supplying
checking and savings services,
along with home and car mortgages for the employees of the new
industries.
They would also be servicing
and financing
the retail, service, and construction businesses' expansions to meet
the
demands of the increased employment generated and seeded by the new
patent
monopoly protected industries.
Let's speculate further
that some of the successful
licensees of the inventions were located in Lorain county Ohio area,
where
I lived when I filed for the patents and where I'm still living at this
writing.
The new jobs that would
have been created would
certainly be most welcome to the large mass of auto workers who
now, in 1997, have suffered permanent layoff with the closing of local
auto assembly lines.
A lesson to learn from
our visit to the land
of "What Might Have Been" is that inventors with successfully exploited
inventions create new prosperity.
Let's leave the land of
"What Might Have Been"
and move on to discussion of the engines.
Oh, bye the way, on or
about September 16,
1997, Social Security was notified that I was dead and subsequently
Social
Security notified the bank where my pension is deposited of my death.
That notification
resulted in the freezing
of all my accounts at the bank.
As do most pensioners, I
live from check to
check, and its fortunate I have my checking account and plastic with
other
banks.
Things now seem
corrected, but if all my banking
were done at the same bank as my direct deposit, I would have been in
desperate
straights indeed.
Hmm.. m do you think its
possible someone is
trying to suppress this work?
