- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Yes
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- I have done independent research in making the production of H2 from water by electrolysis more efficient.
Here is a website I did a long time ago which summarizes what I was doing then:
http://www.geocities.com/mj_17870/
There is more that I need to get written up but I have been too busy..
I have done quite a bit of writing on the web supporting hydrogen energy.
Here are two websites I write on:
http://enki.tblog.com/
http://blogcritics.org/writer/mike_johnston
Or, here is a feed from Daily Life which will give you all the stuff I write:
http://labs.daylife.com/journalist/mike_johnston
I wrote an explanation of the steam reforming/partial oxidation process that a rep from an oil services company called the best and most understandable she had ever seen.
Alternative energy and especially hydrogen energy have been a passion of mine for many years now and I would LOVE to be more involved in promoting it and in educating people on it.
If anyone needs to contact me outside this site you can;

- What excites you about this campaign?
- The opportunity to help create REAL results rather than just more dry theory and debate.
- What do you want to do to help?
- I am working to promote the Pickens Plan and am starting a green energy business of my own in Pennsylvania. I am already in the process of negotiating distributorships with equipment manufacturers.

What Caused The Real Estate Meltdown?
Ever since the whole financial crisis began to be revealed in earnest I have been waiting for someone in the media to talk about how it all happened. I am still waiting. The major media cycled between blaming the banks, then blaming the Democrats and even (briefly) blaming consumers for being so dumb. So far though no one has bothered to reveal the mechanism by which all of those mortgages went toxic and I think people need to understand that before we launch the new energy bubble that will sust… Continue

Hydrogen Energy Research
I have mentioned the research I did previously in relation to producing hydrogen from water and I thought that I would post an overview of what I was doing and the outcome. I will try to do it without a lot of boring detail and just hit the high points. I still see hydrogen from water as being the inevitable fuel of the future and I think that a lot of confusion exists in the way that people understand the potential of hydrogen fuel. My focus has been in making the process of producing H2 from… Continue

Too bad patents weren't as easy to enforce as copyrights. Imagine if Bill Gates had to fight IBM back in the day for rights to his patented windows system.... He would be living in a box somewhere today lol
Sometimes you have to settle for just being credited with the discovery/design.
I won’t post anything else. Delete anything you want.
Thank you
I know they have; however, a viable HEV wasn’t until 1986. I had to argue all the patents begining early 1900 for obviousness objections. I have copies of all the patents. I guess it really depends on what is considered success. My HEV is being built by every automobile manufacture today. Success is having done what you wanted. My HEV is the embodiment of every HEV being manufactured today.
See the following URL showing the Patent

Visit the following URL to view the Drive for Patent 4,597,463

The following are excerpts from a letter I received from Eaton in 2006 after I discovered they were building my HEV. I gave them a full disclosure of both my patent and its drive. My HEV is the embodiment of their HEV. The “All Elements” rule is just a means corporations have for using others inventions without having to make a moral commitment to the inventor. It is legal.

Dear Mr. Barnard:
This letter responds to your recent e-mails regarding your submission of technology to Eaton in 1995.
We can see from your patent ‘463 that you have devoted significant time and attention to the area of hybrid electric vehicles technology, and that your work demonstrates significant foresight with regard to a technology that only in recent years has emerged as a viable alternative in the commercial marketplace.
A product does not infringe a patent unless each and every element of a patent Claim is included in that product. This is a well-established principle of patent law called the “All Elements” rule.
It may very well be the case that the Eaton system does include some elements of the ‘463, but that is not patent infringement and is not inappropriate.
In your e-mail dated April 24, you suggest some coincidence between Eaton patents 6,945,893 and 6,888,273, and your patent. The fact that there is “some coincidence” does not invalidate the Eaton patents or in other way render them inappropriate.
Sincerely,
Mark M. McGuire
Vice President and General Counsel Eaton Corporation
The following is an excerpt of a letter I received from General Motors. They are using the “All Elements” rule too as a means of building my HEV without permission. Their HEV is also using the lion’s share of my elements to build their HEV

Thank you for your letter of February 13, 1994, in which you brought to our attention United States Patent No. 4,597,463.
“Please be aware that for a patent to have significance with respect to the commercial products of another, such product must have all of the elements of the claim in the patent, e.g., Claim 1 of your patent and all of its elements. General Motors has no product that includes all of the above elements of Claim 1 or the dependent Claims 2-15, which also require all of the above elements of Claim 1.”
Very truly yours

Sorry that you haven't had more success in this area...
At any rate, thanks for clarifying that. :-)

Re: IRS Information Document Request Letter dated 9/13/90
Dear Ms. Mahdee:
No Liter Research and Development is a company with a Mission Statement that is trying to create a better environment for the world that will help allow its inhabitants to live without fear of death from carcinogens because of current technology. It is an objective of the company to help clean the planet's air and help stop global warming. Another objective of the company is to develop technology that will lower America's trade deficit by developing technology that will allow the sale of product to the world that is manufactured in America that is less dependent on fossil fuels; therefore, making the world less dependent on the Middle East for fossil fuels. It is another objective of the company to help prevent what is now happening in the Middle East. The current activity in the Middle East may cause the death of thousands of our American youth. It is yet another objective of the company to develop technology that will help lower the cost to the American people of product that is now costly because of current technology.
I wish to add that my company had an office audit by the IRS for tax years 1982, 1983, and 1984 and it was determined that the company was run in a businesslike manner.
Very sincerely yours,
Richard Barnard
