Patent, monopoly, secrecy : how to ruin your chance to surf on a technology revolution

  • It also depends on what you call media. The peer-reviewed journals aren't media, where the LENR research gets usually published and the scientific journals aren't pop-sci media. So here still persist a deep barrier between mainstream physics and its medial reporting, not to say scientific blogs - despite thanks to internet neutrality both worlds remain relatively accessible and connected each other.


    Except that at the case of mainstream science the information are actively pushed to masses and multimedia - whereas the alternative physics relies on social network and community sites like this one - i.e. on the pull model. I'm monitoring this situation closely and it just seems for me, that the worlds of alternative and mainstream physics not only remain separated each other - but this barrier even deepens. The mainstream physicists ostentatiously demonstrate, that they have quite different ("serious") interests, than the EMDrive, LENR and overunity research - despite they're undoubtedly informed about alternative research as well.

    New Energy treasure make a well written article on that question

    CONCLUSION

    Be open with public and the media. Be quick to quench the public’s thirst for information and welcome their curiosity. Hurry your product to market and avoid holding back because you think somebody might steal your ideas. Carefully safeguard your secrets but avoid being so secretive to the point where everybody thinks you’re a fraud. And finally, always remember that it’s better to have sales than a court case.

    On my freebox subscription I recently could benefit from few episodes of that Serie "american genius" made by NatGeo.


    First is Wright Brothers vs Curtiss

    http://channel.nationalgeograp…ight-brothers-vs-curtiss/

    this one was discussed here...


    Edison vs Tesla is well known

    http://channel.nationalgeograp…episodes/edison-vs-tesla/

    One point I notice is that emotion are important, and can endanger your technology.

    Economic model is important too, but it may prevent you to accept alterative technology (Edison was dependent on his short range distributed power, in DC, and disrupted by far-centralized AC disruption).

    And being too greedy with a licensing model is not good either (Tesla nearly killed Westinghous, until he irrationaly dumped all - there should be a middle position).

    For me this battle here was a double failure. TV should be presente before the war, and was delayed after.


    Farnsworth vs Sarnoff (RCA)

    http://channel.nationalgeograp…es/farnsworth-vs-sarnoff/

    is very interesting as it shows how you can make busiess with technology, with royalties, but also be stubborn to the point to refuse to partner and share, delaying a revolution.

    At the same time you may fight to keep your autonomy on a technology to the point you lose all.


    this one

    http://americangenius.national…c.com/episode/space-race/

    is less matching our problems, but we see few few interesting points

    • science and technology is not morality (Von Braun made V2 missiles just as a job, but have a space colonisation dream).
    • Human are important, and death of a program leader (Korolev) may kill a program
    • Admitting you are wrong and following the one who is right, is sign of great spirit : Von Braun accepting rendez-vous around the moon , and not in Earth orbit.

    There are others episodes I missed, so I wait.

    Jobs vs Gates, may be very interesting for us .


    my conclusion is that human factor is key, and basically pride and greed are worst enemy of wealth and recognition.

    I have seen this many times, I call it 'inventors disease'.
