re: stainless steel cups
« on: August 08, 2008, 04:39:08 PM »
I have been experimenting for a while with these cups as per DallasGoldBug. Compared to wires, plates or any other forms these cups consistently have higher output than anything else I have tried. In another thread there was talk of patenting this idea, and apparently some threats - however, from what I understand since the idea was posted here and on Youtube, along with construction description etc. that this is now PUBLIC DOMAIN, and as such cannot be patented. Perhaps I am mistaken.

Regardless - I cannot find a supply for these cups in Canada (not a Walmart stocked item here) and others I have found are not high grade stainless. The cups I purchased predrilled from DallasGoldBug were drilled/punched so poorly I had to throw them away.

I found these on eBay, according to the seller these are 316 grade German stainless steel:

I do believe that the smallest cups at 25cc are larger than the ones I have, however I have ordered a bunch of these to experiment with - I will post my results here and on Youtube.

In the past I have done some business importing items from China. I am trying locate a Chinese company to make a similar cup out of 316L stainless.

Hold on there...

1. You didnt buy any cups from me.   

2.  The Cups I use ARE stamped 316 on the bottom

3.  If you say you bought something from me that you were unsatisfied with then you need to send them back from wherever they came and demand your money back.

As per anything I sell I BACK 100%

If you can't get hold of any cups in Canada how have you been experimenting with them?!?
Might be a mis-communication but still....
Here is something else for you all to look at in your cells... what is the one thing that is eating up your efficientcy?

The Dollarama chain in Canada has been selling 18-8 stainless steel cups (the kind hospitals would use for liquid medicine), packaged by Rama Design.  Lately, I've seen them loose on the shelves. Not sure if they're still 18-8 Rama, though.  Good luck with your hunting.

Not to kick an old, dead horse... As soon as DGB published findings on this site (publicly) it is his intellectual property and goes a long way to verifying a claim for patent rights.

anything posted here is in what is considered the "public domain".
patenting an open-source technology, after-the-fact is a little harder to do.

also::  if anyone places the invention / technology into "commercial use", before it is patented - it becomes inellegible for a patent under U.S. Law.

so all someone has to do is use the thing to light a lamp in their office, and noone can legally obtain a patent for it. and if they do, said patent can be overturned on that basis.
