Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- No
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- The following HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) is the embodiment of every HEV being manufactured today. IT CAN BE BUILT BETTER BY USING MORE KINETIC ENERGY. I have shown this but it isn’t being done.
The automobile manufacturers have the information - CHRYSLER ALREADY HAS THESE PATENTS. THEY REFERENCED ME AS PRIOR ART - (5,999,864 December 7, 1999), (6,073,712 June 13, 2000), (5,962,941 October 5, 1999), (5,884,390 March 23, 1999) AND 6,069,424.
Beginning in 1990 I have been referenced in two of Ford Motor Company’s patents, 1 of Honda's, 3 of GE's, and 14 of Daimler Chrysler's for an Energy Storage Apparatus.

The ELECTROCOMBUSTIBLE DRIVE ENGINE file number 06/546,170 is shown in the embodiment of Patent 4,597,463
I would like people to energetically, aggressively, nicely push the American Automobile manufacturers to build the HEV (hybrid electric vehicle). This vehicle will reduce consumption of any alternative energy and reduce carbon.
The HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) can use many alternative energies. It is the most flexible automobile available. It’s not being built to use the following with the exception of gasoline/diesel but it can be.
HEV – flex fuel,
HEV – hydrogen (water)
HEV – dirty hydrogen (NG)
HEV – NG
HEV – LNG
HEV – LPG
HEV - CNG
HEV - H2
HEV – E85
HEV – gasoline – not an alternative energy; however it is available. HEV = less consumption
HEV – diesel – not an alternative energy; however it is available. HEV = less consumption
HEV – solar? Future
HEV – plasma? Future
HEV – etc, etc, etc, etc, etc
The HEV – (plug in) can be used with any of the above. If the fuel is combustible it can be used. What the HEV allows is less consumption of any fuel used. None of the alternative energy fuels above are available in quantity. Demand is the problem if we want to wean ourselves off Middle Eastern oil.
The HEV is an EV a hybrid EV. Many people don’t think of it as being an electric vehicle.
The hybrid can be built to be as fast and sturdy as any sports car, SUV or Truck manufactured today. Eaton is currently building a truck for Fed X and others.
MY MISSION STATEMENT
I added this to My Page as a reminder why I got involved beginning 1973 - 1978. My feelings remain the same.
In the comments below “The current activity in the Middle East may cause the death of thousands of our American youth.” was Iraq (1). We lost hundreds in Iraq (1) beginning Aug 2, 1990 in the Gulf War only nine months after this letter was written and subsequently thousands in 911 and Iraq (2). We do not want an Iran (1).

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
- What excites you about this campaign?
- Mr. Pickens Money. It will take billions of dollars to fix our mess.
- What do you want to do to help?
- Wish everyone good luck
Because Pickens Plan members have asked - The below photos shown are:
A Barnard Coat of arms and Motto
The motto "Bear and Forbear" means - "To patiently bear the blows that must be borne, and abstain from the things and the pleasures we ought to abstain from" "Bear and Forebear" is the english of Epictetus's saying "anexou kai apexou" latin "Sustine Abstine" Sustine - sustain; to endure Abstine - abstain, refrain (from).
Meaning of the name Barnard
A French and English variation of the surname Bernard, is derived from the Germanic given name Bernhard, from the elements ber = bear + hard = brave, hardy. The name was introduced to England by the conquering Normans in 1066 (that was the date William won the battle; the name might have been introduced a day or two later...) Origin: Old German Meaning: Brave / Hard as a bear.
Lancaster Castle – shown above represents my ancestry.
The Tartan for the Barnard family
The Clan Through the centuries the Barnard family was affiliated with many different clans through marriage. The clan BURNETT claims the BARNARD family as a sept or directly affiliated family, entitled to clan rights including the use of the clan tartan shown here.
I lived at Little Rockford Station Antarctica after arriving at McMurdo from October 1961 through February 1962. I then Wintered Over at McMurdo Sound. I left McMurdo Sound October 1962.

This was our basic knowledge of computers in 1978. We had ROM no RAM 16-bit processors and a floppy. In the same time frame Microsoft finally brought out DOS and in 1995 we finally got windows. We were off and running and the Japanese introduced their version of my computer operated HEV in America in 1999.
In 1970 Wozniak had become friends with Steve Jobs, 4½ years his junior, when Jobs had a summer job at the same business where Wozniak was working on a mainframe computer. According to his autobiography iWoz, Jobs had the idea to sell the computer as a fully assembled P.C. board. Wozniak, at first skeptical, was later convinced by Jobs that even if they were not successful they could at least say to their grandkids they had their own company. Together they sold some of their prized possessions (such as Wozniak's H.P. scientific calculator and Jobs' Volkswagen van), raised USD $1,300, and assembled the first prototypes in Jobs' bedroom and later (when there was no space left) in Jobs' garage. The Apple I Computer was similar to the Altair 8800, the first commercially available personal computer, except it had no bus structure allowing users to add memory cards and interface cards. With the addition of these cards, the Altair could be attached to a computer terminal and it could be programmed in BASIC. The Apple I was a pure hobbyist machine, a $20 microprocessor (M.O.S. 6502) on a single-circuit board with ROM. It lacked RAM, a keyboard, and a monitor to make it a fully functional microcomputer.
On April 1, 1976, Jobs and Wozniak formed Apple Computer. Wozniak quit his job at H.P. and became the vice president in charge of research and development at Apple. The Apple I was priced at $666.66 (Wozniak later said he had no idea about the correlation between the number and the mark of the beast, and "I came up with [it] because I like repeating digits." It was $500, plus a 33% markup.). Jobs and Wozniak sold their first 100 computers to Paul Terrell, who was starting a new computer shop, called the Byte Shop, in Mountain View, California. Terrell bought just the circuit board for the Apple I, he had to supply the keyboard, monitor, transformer, and even the case in which to put the computer.
Wozniak could now focus full-time on fixing the shortcomings of the Apple I and adding new functionality. His new design was to retain the most important characteristics: simplicity and usability. Wozniak introduced high-resolution graphics in the Apple II. His computer could now display pictures instead of just letters: "I threw in high-res. It was only two chips. I didn't know if people would use it". By 1978, he also designed an inexpensive floppy-disk drive controller. He and Randy Wigginton wrote a simple disk operating system and file system. Shepardson Microsystems was contracted to build a simple command line interface for the disk operating system.
In addition to designing the hardware, Wozniak wrote most of the software initially provided with the Apple. He wrote a programming language interpreter, a set of virtual 16-bit processor instructions known as SWEET 16, a Breakout game (which was also a reason to add sound to the computer), the code needed to control the disk drive, and more.
In 1980, Apple went public and made Jobs and Wozniak multimillionaires
No - all I have is grunt work and an old faded business plan with a patent and many letters to and from automobile manufacturers, Congressmen, Senators, State Senators, letters from presidents to their department heads and many letters from the Department of Energy. Many of the letters were positive with the exception of the ones from the automobile manufacturers who would never make a commitment. The Japanese never responded they just continued research and waited for technology to catch up. You have to remember I had my HEV controlled by a computer. Computer technology wasn’t advanced enough in 1978 to do what I envisioned. Computers in those days were only able to run rudimentary games like Pak Man. They didn’t have any RAM or any viable storage. Everything was stored with a floppy and it was limited but I knew what the potential was and designed my HEV completely around a computer operating all functions. We didn’t even have an internet at the time. The Department of Energy didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. I didn’t have a word processor or computer to write my patent. I had to use an old typewriter. All correspondence to and from the PTO, DOE and legislatures were written on a typewriter. No one even had a desk top or lap top. How were they able to see how my HEV would operate if they didn’t even understand the basic principles of a computer. I estimated at the time it would take approximately $4 million to build it. I didn’t have the money to build the prototype. All functions of the current HEVs are doing exactly what I envisioned and show in my patent. Anyone reading my patent and its drive today would understand what I was talking about. There were only a few in the day that knew what I was doing – my patent examiner and the Japanese. There were a few legislatures that shared my vision but were unable to get funding. You can’t even imagine what it was like trying to show operation of something that no one had a clue what I was talking about. Computer technology grew rapidly and in early 1990 some patents were finally showing rudimentary parts of my patent and all referenced my patent as prior art. There wasn’t one automobile manufacturer in the eighties or prior who even held a patent for any type of HEV. It’s being built now and I’m satisfied. What I wanted done is being done and maybe we will stop killing each other over Middle Eastern Oil and spewing carcinogens into our atmosphere.
Patents are only as good as your lawyer. Unfortunate but true.
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.

Does it appear I'm looking for recognition? – Maybe. A simple Thank You from Honda, Toyota, GM, Eaton, Ford, and Chrysler would have been nice. All were introduced to my HEV mid 1980. I again reintroduced it to Ford and GM in 1994 and introduced it to Eaton in 1995. I allowed my patent to abandon in 1998. Honda and Toyota introduced their version of my HEV in America in 1999. It took Eaton 11 years to introduce their version in 2006. All are the embodiment of my HEV. I guess I just get a little upset when I see hybrid all over the PP and people assume it was either invented or designed by the automobile manufactures. I guess name recognition isn’t important. My son asked me for the name of the person who made AC viable and later sold it to Westinghouse. I didn’t know but everything we do today is primarily AC. All we know and hear about is Edison and his DC. I bet some think Edison was responsible for AC – NO. It was Nikola Tesla. So who cares who invented the HEV? I have posted both my patent and its drive URLs so anyone can compare it to what is being manufactured. I guess I care.
I won’t post anything else. Delete anything you want.
Thank you
Mr. Johnston
Thank you for allowing me to be your friend.
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.

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.
Mr. Richard Barnard
Fremont, California 94539
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.”

ah ok. I'm glad that you support hybrids then. I am not familiar with your particular design but hybrid technology has been around for a while (since 1901 according to wikipedia).
Sorry that you haven't had more success in this area...
At any rate, thanks for clarifying that. :-)

I'm not tired of hearing about the HEV. I'm just tired after 35 years that no one has really taken it seriously. The only ones that have done anything are the Japanese who introduced there version of my HEV in America in 1998 after I allowed my patent to abandon. The American automobile manufactures didn’t do anything until about a year ago. I introduced my hybrid to all American automobile manufactures in the early eighties. I have a 35 year history of misery, begging, pain and heartbreak. I guess I’m just tired in general but delighted that it is finally being considered as an alternative. I’m pasting below my Mission Statement written to the IRS in 1990. I revised it for them but it has been my mission since 1980. My former employer Eaton started manufacturing their version of my HEV in 2006.

Hi Richard,
I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to say. In one breath you say that you are tired of hearing about hybrids and then go on to list all of the fuels they could potentially run on and say you were somehow instrumental in developing them.
My thoughts on hybrids are that they would be great in general use if the batteries are recharged with renewable energy. Even without that they are still better than internal combustion only vehicles.
I also made the point that any fuel you list can be converted to one standard gaseous fuel so that cars can have one common fuel system with the potential of producing that single fuel from all of the feedstocks you list. In my mind that is much better than such a wide variety of fuels competing for market share each with slight differences to their fueling systems.
So again, I am not sure what in that you are tired of hearing and so far Pickens Plan hasn't said they are tired of it lol but if you know something I don't please share it and I will go to the source. :-)

CAN YOU HELP WITH 10 for THE PLEDGE PUSH?
I was sad to see my state reject Prop. 10. Especially when it approved many other "spending" propositions, like the idiotic high-speed rail line linking Los Angeles with San Francisco. It won't move an inch before 2030, and it'll still cost more and take longer than flying.
Personally, I like the distance! It keeps the spillover of nut-jobs from the Tinfoil Hat League from reaching LA. By the time they hitchhike to San Jose, they're out of blow and weed and have to turn back.
When gathering signatures on the recent petition drive, I got a lot of flack about T. Boone Pickens funding for the "swift boating" campaign in 2004. People who agreed with the energy independence movement refused to sign "on principle" because his name was associated with it. Strangely, paying terrorists and tyrants for oil doesn't violate their principles at all.
I continue to fly the flag for NGVs, working with AQMD through the Clean Air Congress. My town is trying to setup a refueling station and I'm urging them to make it public-access.
Our state's financial woes and the failure of Prop. 10 will hamper the progress of clean transit efforts. While reduced oil prices will help consumers, we have to work harder to remind people that the problem isn't solved, and paying tyrants and terrorists a little less for gas still means we're paying them.
Thanks for your participation.
I am going to dub you Sir Richard The Owl because you are wise like an old owl. I perceive that you have to hold much communication back. I too know how that is and while the locations from which we operate are on different frequencies it is still the same problem we have to deal with.
I invite you to come and look at the elephant. The elephant is in the room. You'll see...
