Dear friend Phillip.
Your idea is fine, but I feel some innocence from you.
 
 1 - this world's problems are not solved by revolutions, even with energetic revolutions.Since the problem is not society but the selfishness of man, the momentum we have for exploiting others for our own benefit. For more changes you make to society, they willonly make-up, the real problem. May end in something worse, as the failure of theSoviet Union, or the current failures of Cuba or North Korea, and on the other hand, the failures of capitalism in the U.S. or of socialism in Europe (see Greece), the road tohell is paved with good intentions. If you make an energy revolution that will be quicklyused as a means of exploitation of man by man, and that real change is done through education to be a "social man".
 
 2 - If you want to help solve society's problems, then you can sponsor innovative educational programs, such as http://ariresearch.org/, which, they can change society by changing the human being.
 
 3 - A foundation should not be to control anything, none the development of this technology, but it can be an incubator for researchers crowdsourcing, that's a very good idea of ​​yours.
 
 4 - If not let us use the crowdsoursing, removing us the opportunity for many to work in this product, and as you'll see on sites like these, there are many people who want todo something.

I'm not sure how to put this out there but it may help to think about the Chinese part of the equation.  I've seen over and over again in the last decade just how quickly and cheaply manufacturers in China will grab an idea and start pumping out devices so much faster than any other place and their quality has gone up so much in the last 10 years or so that they can equal or even better their counterparts in the U.S. and elsewhere.  I'm not sure exactly how this may all fit into this situation but I think it may be worth putting some thought into it.  They seem to be able to clone things faster and better than any one.  And they don't often hesitate to copy things that are well protected with patents, copyrights and so on.   Is there a way to take advantage of this?  Just some food for thought...

Hi,


I have read about 3 times what has been posted, lots of good points but I am perhaps more confused. Not surprisingly there are many valid views.


Let me say a few things about myself (please forgive the number of lines starting with I).


I feel that mankind is as much as ever ripping itself apart, that the some of the mega rich are so mentally sick as to be no better than the worst tyrants of history. I cannot fathom why people would want to own more than they could ever need. EGO EGO EGO I suppose.


With the greatest of respect to the people of China I feel that the HQ for new technology should rest with democracy and perhaps a body like the UN.


I honestly would give away this breakthrough if it meant that it would do maximum good, but I feel that I must protect the IP until such time as I can be sure of the way forward.


I do have a fear of what will happen but then I say that what will be will be, this is a one way trip as soon as I post just one diagram, and if I seem to be a bit cagey about details it is that I have probably already given away enough information for some to have a good guess what quenco is, so until next month and making a choice of what to do I will continue to be guarded.


I talked to my kids and asked them if they were comfortable with the whole thing as I suggested (not that I know a thing for sure) it might impact on their lives in negatives ways, they unanimously said go for it. I still however have some fear about what the unknowns might be for them.


I believe that quenco could be manufactured eventually by anyone who can put together 10k of 2nd hand lab equipment, I myself bought my near new high vacuum BOC Edwards Turbomolecular and Scroll pump system for 5k (it originally sold for about 40k). The present need for fancy labs is just because of expertise that I admit I do not have in ALD, but I see no reason why all the technical steps couldn't be put in a 10 page booklet.


Some comments made about revolution concern me, because my biggest fear is that of unintended consequences. Also that some people will lose their jobs (oil, coal and such) and that those people or related organisations will see me as their enemy. That it might cause other social problems during a period of flux. However part of my discussions with my kids was along those lines but we all agreed that the needs outweigh the risks. Quenco can do what clearly governments in the midst of this economic crisis cannot, stimulate, employ and reduce co2.


I am not in this for the money and if I did not get anything out of this I would probably only be slightly miffed, I do feel that it would be fair to be paid but it is far more important to be helping the majority of people before my life is over. I do not believe in God though I have an open mind because the Universe forever shows it is stranger than we think and thus a gestalt super consciousness might well make sense (if all the neuron firings via the synapses of our brain give us our awareness then perhaps all the universe communicating as it does, man to man, creature to creature, physical events to sentient beings, might create a cosmic awareness) but I am not of the view that there is an after life. This is it, make the best of it, is my view.


I am not of such an opinion of myself that I would think I know the answers or that I am wise, I say that the only reason I have ended up with this is that I am stubborn and have a good record of going against the flow and coming up with the right answer, when I was at high school I stated in the science class that the textbook was wrong, everyone laughed at me but the teacher considered my point and he declared that the textbook was wrong, and in fact was later changed (or so I was told). This is not to say that I am clever but I see things nerdy differently, and sometimes I am just plain lucky with my guesses / intuition. However what I gain in my questioning of all things I lose in my lack of ability to understand people. What I need is people that know how people think to guide me. Which is why I am asking for advice.
 

I do not necessarily believe in MIB but I have placed important documents very widely in the event that something did happen to me (not necessarily from an intended source) and feel that nothing can stop quenco becoming fully disclosed at the right time.


Enough about me and my views.


One thought I had last night was that perhaps I am making this more complex than it needs to be. It was because of a comment made here about the Chines that made me think that the one thing I could manage is to set up a factory that just makes quenco foil and sell that at cost + 10% to anyone that wants it, they can then put it into power sources that they design (the quenco is just a component, it needs to be attached to a heat exchanger otherwise a 1mm x 1mm piece of quenco alone would frost up and so create little power). The need to make quenco cheap could be solved by having at least one plant per country / region that is like a newspaper press, an atomic layer deposition.


Initial production would be 100x100mm wafers patterned to small pieces (say 1mm x 1mm or 1cm x 1cm) but then to continuous film that can be slit and chopped to required size. As I said on my website the power from quenco is more about the heat exchanger so if we can get hold of materials that are better than diamond (graphene for example) at heat conduction then the amount of quenco to make a 100kW power source becomes smaller, my current designs suggest that CVD diamond heat spreaders could reduce the quenco to less than 10cm diameter disc, down from 15cm when using copper, Mark Dansie has suggested that there exists some materials available better than diamond and has told me he can supply me a sample in June.


So I think I am waffling, what I will say is that I will continue to take onboard all your views and ideas and will make and post some plan in due course.


Thanks.

No one can really predict the future and trying to predict every possible outcome will make you go mad. Just stick to one plan and see it through, that's all. Of course things will go wrong and things you didn't expect will happen, but that's life whether you are trying to release FE tech or trying to win the heart of a woman/man.

I've really come to hate the word "jobs". If you'd ask anyone whether they'd keep doing their "job" if they wouldn't get paid but had their basic physiological needs met (food, water, shelter, energy) I can assure you the overwhelming majority would answer with a resounding NO. It's really not about the pay but about what you ENJOY doing, and having the freedom to switch whenever you want doing whatever you want. So seeing people here say "it will destroy/create jobs" is comical in a sense. "Jobs" turn good people into good sheep.

In a resource based economy there is no money. There are no investors. Nothing is capital-intensive. There is no capital. There is no system of payments and repayments. There is no interest, aside from people’s interest in doing what needs to be done. There is no buying and selling. There is no ownership. There are no shortages. There are no crises. There's only abundance and the unleashed infinite potential of human creativity and ingenuity.
Of course our current system is still far from that as EVERYTHING is based on capital which consequently leads to a "few owning the majority" paradigm. Which also allows things like selfishness, greed and corruption to THRIVE as we can see today.
However the "big" change will come. Just look at any empire in history that once was, no matter how big they were they all fell. It will be a long, and painful for some, change but we will get there. It surely won't happen overnight as many tend to believe.

I also have to say I really like you because you're one of the few "inventors" who is open to discussion and alternate views. It's very rare to have intelligent discussions like these with someone who has "something" and wants to bring it out. Usually it ends up in a greed and paranoid infested discussion that helps no one.

But at the end of the day you just have to let go of all the unknowns and fears and go for it. Like Richard Branson would say, "Screw it, let's do it".

Hi Guys,


Thanks for more food for thought.


Thanks for the vote of confidence in my wisdom too, though only time will tell on that one.


I read all the comments with great interest and find that this website is populated primarily by people with good hearts and intentions, most here have hope for a better future, and most are tolerant of those with the exotic beliefs about gravity and magnetic motors. I guess it is for that reason that I can talk here about the even more exotic device that violates the 2nd without having know all do nothings attack.


What I have seen is that there is a common thread of looking for a solution under any and every stone, because the other option is to do nothing and see the poor become poorer, the planet become more damaged, and our future generations inherit a World worse than when we enjoyed it.


It is my duty to find the best solution that I can also live with personally, by that I mean the maximum social utility and the least hard work for me.


I have had considered all the good ideas and values expressed here (and and odd ponder about if patents might be suppressed - for good or bad reasons)


So my mind seems to be favoring the idea that I obtain patents under the PCT and enforce them as and when it becomes needed to stop the crooks making counterfeit quenco film, Then to issue a licence (a simple statement) for ALL people and organisations to free to use quenco in their products, provided that it is the genuine Quenco film bought from your local Quenco distributor.

My view is that I will push the price of quenco film manufacturing as low as it will go with a tiny profit margin to fund research, this price will always be lower than anyone else could make it for (ie counterfeiters could not make it cheaper so why would they bother).

The first challenge will be in 2013 to produce 1mm x 1mm 5v 10W Quenco for $10 and 1cm x 1cm 24v 1kW Quenco for $100, initially via quentron.com

Hopefully by 2014 I can scale so that the price could fall to half that, and then so on........

If I can then find ways to reduce these prices 10 fold then I will, ultimately it would be simply mind blowing if I can get the larger 1cm x 1cm tiles out the door for just $1.

I currently believe that most applications will need just one of these sizes, larger sizes (power apps) can simply be accommodated by multiple tiles.

There may be some need for higher and lower voltages.



Anyhow this is not my final position as yet, just airing my thoughts for feedback.

By doing all these things I relieve myself of the promotional aspect, I just make quenco film, you make USB power sources to sell, you get engadget and such to feature your product, you start a hearing aid battery business, you design electric car power packs.................


See I have a lazy solution that gets things moving faster, do you agree?

Yes I am fully aware of powerchips and have in fact had a few conversations and emails with them.


Quenco is completely different from the cool chip.




Hi All,


I have stripped down the website and will not be promoting quenco until I have all the proof.


Quenco is the real thing but there is only so much I can say without proof before people will start accusing me of a scam.


The only proof needed to start this revolution is the handout of a dozen 1mm x 1mm chips.


If the admin / owner of this site (Harti I assume) wishes to contact me I will arrange to send a free quenco chip to you.


Thanks for now

Mr. Hardcastle,

I did not compare the quenco with the power/cool chips !
I adviced you to pay attention for a company which for the first time presented their thermionic converter invention 1997 !!!                                           This are 15 years back !!!

And I named another inventor who get in the seventhies of the last century his thermionic inverter tested by the DOE and functionally aproved . But no more help !

Sincerely
                CdL

p.s.: Later when your prototype will be technical aproved,

        a.  you can also funding your invention by selling 0,%-fee/royalty-rights without to sell patent-right-ownership !

        b. many people can also invest in "options/ natural participation certificate" with the comercial right to buy the
             quenco with fixed %-discount ! ( like time-share )
