And the whole purpose of a patent is intended to protect those “sales” for the inventor. However, as I noted to Kevmo when he said the US wouldn’t issue, there may be other issues involved.
Still doesn’t make sense - he’d be world renowned if he came out with the exact details - that alone will gain him wealth if that is what he wants....wealth, fame...only leaves power, but then his device provides all of that he needs (badump bump - sorry couldn’t resist).
uh oh, high energy jokes
here’s what I could find
Back in the late 50s there was a new guided missile being developed called the “Snark.” The USAF wanted to launch them quickly and to demonstrate this capabilitiy, they arranged for a show to the media of this new capability. The Snark was interesting for launching, because it had a small solid rocket motor that would initiate the launch, following by the ignition of the main engine.
When the time came, news media people from all over showed up. The first launch looked good, as the SRM shot the rocket off the pad and over the Atlantic. However, the main engine failed to ignite, and the SNARK went into the water. They had a 30-mins turn around time, so a half-hour later, a second Snark rose up into the air, pushed skyward by its SRM. As you can already guess, the main engine failed and the missile went into the drink. Thirty minutes later, the same episode was replayed a third time.
The New York Times reporter led his article off with this statement:
If you are going on vacation to Florida, stay away from Cocoa Beach; because they now have Snark-infested waters! lol
