Speaking of the ignition the patent I applied for was a real up hill battle.
The first patent attorney I hired, despite having a degree in electronic
engineering,  was not competent in that field. I had to fire him and
find another. The second called himself the patent king. He did a good
patent but then he dropped the ball. The patent office rejected it due
to minor drawing issues and name discrepancy by leaving out my middle
name on some of the forms but not others.

The patent office has a policy of only notifying the  attorney that has
power of attorney and not the inventor. This happened in April 2015.

The patent king did nothing and did not notify me. Simple problems to fix.
I was under the mistaken impression that every thing was OK and the
patent office was doing their thing. Finally I got worried and called
the patent office.

They confirmed that the patent was filled but since I did not have power
of attorney they could not tell me anything about it despite being the
inventor of record. I had to file a form to make myself the attorney.
I fixed the minor problems and the patent office revived the patent
application. A year and a half lost. Still the original date of the
patent application applies.

 I have a patent on programing computers that was manufactured by
Hewlett Packard without my consent. I won the case but again the patent
attorney defending me did not do a very good job on net monetary
compensation to me. It is essential that one obtains an injunction on
manufacturing immediately.

One is very vulnerable to incompetent or scam artist patent attorneys.
My advice is get some how too books and learn how to do it your self.

If you really want to patent it yourself, Nolo is a good reference among
others.  WWW.Nolo.com

Getting a Patent on Your Own | Nolo.com

Here's how to get a U.S. patent on your idea or invention --without a
lawyer.

View on www.nolo.com

Chapter 2 lists these quotes:

Don’t bury your invention:

“The man with a new idea is a crank – until the idea succeeds.” Mark Twain,

“For an idea that does not at first seem insane, there is no hope.”
Albert Einstein

“Opportunities are seldom labelled.”John Shedd

Without inventors and inventions, we would still be living the way we
lived 50,000 years ago.

These books are also in libraries.

So true Rolf. Part of the requirements are the capitalistic form of
Government.
The lure of making a lot of money on your ideas is essential.

I can't think of anything useful having been invented in Russia.
The creative people like Sikorsky  and  Alexander P. de Seversky left in
the 1920's.

"During the 1917 Revolution , Seversky was stationed in St. Petersburg
and remained in uniform at the request of the commander-in-chief of the
Baltic Fleet. In March 1918, he was selected as an assistant naval
attaché in the Russian Naval Aviation Mission to the United States.
Seversky departed via Siberia and while in the U.S., decided to remain
there rather than return to a Russia torn apart by the Revolution.
Settling in Manhattan, he briefly operated a restaurant."

He went on to design the P47 more or less. He applied for and was
granted several aviation patents.

Unless we turn this nation around the same thing will happen here.

 I could not log on for some reason.

 Are you suggesting that the Russian invented the satellite or liquid
 fueled rocket? The Russians had German rocket engineers working
 for them.

 They probably went to the same talk by Wernher von Braun that I
 attended in the late 40's  with my mother at the National Academy
 of Science in Washington DC. My mother took me to the talk as she
worked for the National Academy of Science at the time. It was not
opened to the public.

   Wernher was advocating everything from satellites to interplanetary
travel.
 I am sure the Russian diplomatic core were there. This was long before
 they put up their Sputnic.

 Our government ignored Wernher von Braun at the time.
After the Sputnic Wernher was hired to go to the moon :-)

 Robert Hutchings Goddard invented the liquid fuel rocket in the US in
the 1930's.

 The commie schools nation wide (and I am sure up in Canada) are not
doing a good job teaching the evils of communism.

 Stalin executed three quarters of his intelligent people in the late
 30's as they started to doubt Communism.

 It is now treated as just another political system. MY ASS :-)

 Paul Lamar

Paul, it is a interesting documentary on how they found very old Russian
rockets in storage that had 3 times the power of the US made designs,
and the US companies purchasing them and using those rockets. I am not
sure if the video is somewhere on the net to stream. It seems there are
lots of smart people all over, just the government screws them over !

Steve Carlisle


I never said that all Russians were not smart. Just the majority for
buying into communism.

I find it really strange  that almost 50% of the moron US democrats
voted for commie Bernie :-)

Paul Lamar



Hi Paul,
   I think the reason that the Russian rockets were more powerful was
because they used the exhaust from the rocket powered liquid pump motors
and re-injected back into the main motor combustion chamber thus
"supercharging it".
   Chris Hoskins.

I am reading a very well written and researched book called Air Power
by Stephen Budiansky ISBN 0-670-03285-9.

The book was published in2004. By that time he had access
to WW II secretes.

Page 354.

"Thanks to an entirely unintended consequence of the Allied strategic
bombing of Germany, the Soviets also had the means to deliver the bomb.
Driven to relocate as far east as possible to escape the Allied attacks,
four-fifths of the German aircraft industry wound up in areas under
Soviet control at the end of the war. Airframes, jet engines,
radar-guided missiles, V-2 rockets, and several hundred thousand skilled
workers, engineers, and designers fell into Soviet hands. "

"Two American B-29s that had to force-land at Soviet fields in the Far
East during the war proved to be another windfall; they were promptly
dismantled and copied to become the Soviet Tu-4 bomber, which entered
service in 1947."

End quote.

Paul Lamar

Chris, I believe you are right. They also mentioned that the US felt
that idea was not possible, but I guess through Ruskie determination,
they eventually
figured out how to do it. There are smart people everywhere, but as Paul
said, the government screws them up

Steve Carlisle


Paul and Steve

Regarding Russia and most people voting for communism, I am not so sure if that is true based on a later statement by Stalin that it is not the voter but the one who counts who has all the power.

I just can't believe that he, or any dictator would make it public to say he lost. Look at Uganda as well.
These people are ruthless, having killed the entire czar family as in Russia and fighting hard to get noticed they would not be deterred or derailed by a simple thing such a public vote. After all, he is counting the votes without oversight.

Dictators grab power to enrich themselves pretending to serve the people and make things better for them. Running a country is a good way to serve an ego and get rich while at it. As Dale pointed out the Ukraine is an example as well.

Isn't that not true: 'Governments screw things up'.
Power corrupts. Any government in power for too long should be replaced.

I know its a bit off topic.
Rolf  Pfeiffer

They did not vote for Communism. They allowed it to happen. Of course
the brutal and stupid  actions of the czar dictators brought it on.
It was hardly a democracy.

It sounded great. "From each according to their abilities, too each according
to their needs."

How boring. One might as well get drunk and do nothing
the rest of their lives.  No incentive to learn. If you learn how to do
something you might have to work :-)

"We pretend to work and the government pretends to pay us." :-)

"See that cannon on the bow of the Aurora in the harbor at St Peterburg?
That is the most powerful cannon in the world. One shot from that cannon
devastated Russia for the next 70 years." :-)
