DavidI basically concur with Doug regarding protecting your device against those who would seek to create an exclusive monopoly to manufacture , or simply control the distribution of such a device to the World.Decades ago, I got an American patent.It was an interesting experience, as I was using a very young, but absolutely brilliant lawyer, recomended by a classmate of his at law school. We were all pretty much the same age.The field he had chosen was patent law.He had already graduated top of his class in engineering, and then went on to do the same thing in law school.It was not just a client/ professional relationship. It was delving into matters far deeper than one normally would go in business.The whole psychology and ethics of the conceptual basis of patents was on the table. With that, my own reasons were simply public recognition, a smelly pissing post, that I had raised my leg at, while John Dykstra in Hollywood was flaunting his Dystraflex coming out of a film called Starwars. His was a gimmick to use optical printing, a post production complicated system.I just, at exactly the same time, had shot a science fiction film called Starship Invasions, in Canada, for 1/20th the budget using something I invented which allowed everything to be shot live on locationwithout any matt lines that optical printing produced. My device was a good trick, and equally ingenious.I wanted to display my piss, and vinagar.Oh, I got a US patent all right.The film's producers were gleeful.They even bought, and built, a beautiful white stucco and tile roofed studio, in old Hollywood, just for me.I had to break their hearts, because in Toronto, I had a half built ship sitting on the dock which could not be moved until completion, or destroyed.Patents last for 17.5 years, giving you exclusive rights to exploit you invention.That said, its all business horse shit.The reality is far different.Patents are the playing cards of the big dogs.Most of us lucky enough to have a pot to pee in don't rate in this game.Oh if you happen to have a team of lawyers, smart, idealistic, ethical, willing to put hours, and hours, of probono work in on your behalf, because you have a greater cause, than merely your own greed? But hey, the bad guys are mobsters, hiding behind a corporate logo, and do what mobsters have always done, the cheapest solution.You don't want that route.You completely fuck them with public disclosure. They can't take your toy, and make it one of their game playing pieces, or worse yet, bury it very deep.They hate the light, those monsters.The stakes are high, and the public must win. We are the public of the worldCheers Warren

Hi David / Popps?
hard to understand the printed word sometimes
Personally I think if you have a looping motor-generator you should immediately open source it, not only for your own safety, but also for the rest of the world to copy and eventually manufacture worldwide.
My opinion...
Also patents are useless waste of money going to lawyers so why care if someone patents your creation and invention?
Your creation most probably based largely on others creations and inventions too so who cares eh.
