So I came up with an improved plate configuration and generator design for the hho dry cell. I'm using plates of off the shelf 12"x12" 316SS to reduce costs associated with having custom plates cut. Haven't built it yet and honestly I'm reluctant to share any design characteristics on an open forum.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for sticking it to Corporate America and enabling others to do the same. My problem is with people who fish these forums for new innovations, steal/modify the concept. Then either patent it as their own or begin production and leave you in the dust. Sorry but credit and fame for an idea isn't enough when someone is profiting from your intellect and innovation.
Let's say you worked in R&D for a multi-million dollar company and designed a better whatever. The company builds, markets and sells the product and makes a lot of money. That's ok because that's what they hired, and paid you to do in the first place.
At least the inventor was paid AND got credit... It doesn't sit right with me, that there are people out there selling products based largely on designs created by inventors/tinkerers who were kind enough to share their design ideas.
Inventors and tinkerers have spent thousands of dollars, for what? So some jackass with a fistful of cash and a tool filled workshop. Can manufacture your design and have it for sale on ebay by next weekend.
What do you think?
