  What’s the bestway to launch a breakthrough new energy technology? “Open Source” concept ◦ Invention and prototyping ◦ No patents on core technology ◦ Demonstration of technology at high profile press conferences in key cities globally ◦ Simultaneous wide-broadcast dissemination of “how-to-build” plans on the Internet ◦ Public is encouraged to use and improve technology and create useful derivatives (no licensing or royalties)

  Why should abreakthrough energy technology be “open sourced”? • Open sourcing the technology will tap into the brain trust of millions of intelligent, creative people, who could improve upon it and create countless derivative products and businesses.
• 11.
  Why should abreakthrough energy technology be “open sourced”? • The implementation will occur more quickly (perhaps virally) as people become excited, motivated, and hopeful. People are enthused when we feel we have a stake and a role to play in a great endeavor.

  Why should abreakthrough energy technology be “open sourced”? “New wine should not be put in old bottles". For good reason. The old methods are not expansive enough, may easily rupture, and spill and squander the contents. New ideas require new methods.
