I have a working prototype. I don't know if I'm dreaming, but no one seems interested.?
People think I'm nuts, or am dealing with indefinate energy, but the truth is it works. It can heat or cool from electricity, or produce electricity from heat or cold. No moving parts. Just my little black box.
Imagine this unit in a larger size. Not only could it produce heating or cooling, but could produce the power necessary to operate other electrical devices in your home or business.
NASA won't talk to me. They act like I'm an idiot! You could hang one of these out the window (laugh) and get enough power to supply a device in space instead of all those solar panels or atomic engines.
I have written to congress people asking for support. Guess what? No responses!
I have over 40 years as an Electrical Design Engineer, and have created other things that you may well use today. Now, I've got the future of power in my hands, and nobody wants to listen, or even think of the possibilities.
So, my fellow Y!A's what do you think?
I won't patent it, because it is so simple, and changing one part could lead someone to my product. Plus the patent office won't accept ideas.
OK I changed my avatar. Now will you believe me?
My design is NOT perpetual motion. It requires electricity, hot, or cold to operate. The dem's are 5" x 6" x 4.5" high. The biggest cost are the heat sinks used to absorb heat or cold, or radiate hot or cold. I built my first operational unit from junk parts I had around, and It would cost about $40 US to build a identical one. It will heat about 150 degrees above ambient and cool to about 60 degrees below ambient. I put a propane torch to the heat sink and got about .5 amps output. I put it in the freezer and got about .35 amps out at various voltages of 5-20 volts. It all has to do with doping.
I have a notorized, dated copy of my notes, and write-up on how it workssafely locked away. I have dealt with the patent office several times before on other designs. And I can truthfully say for electronic designs, it's not woth the attornys and fees to get a patent. I'll take my chances without one.
One company say it was a Peltier Device, but it is not even near that.

Hi,
I'm interested in your prototype upon reading what you have typed about it. Can you list the dimensions of the box, the material cost required to produce the box and overall time taken to create the box?

I'm a patent examiner, not in the USA though. Our office does not permit us to reject patent applications, except for one type. You guessed it, perpetual motion machines. It is even written into the Patent Act. It is "Black-Letter Law".
Now I'm not saying that your device is a perpetual motion machine but if you will not give details on how it works, patent offices and everyone else are entitled to be suspicious.
Perhaps you should approach the battery makers, Union Carbide or what-not. But for Pete's sake put in at least a provisional patent application, photocopy it, get the copy witnessed and dated by a notary and put it in a bank vault.

Seriously......try contacting Oprah, Leonardo DiCaprio or the C Crane Company...
Get a patent! I have a customer with a solar battery smaller than anything I have ever scene. They guys a genious but man does it take a lot to get things patented.

Contact Ron Popiel. He can sell it for $19.99 on an infomercial and throw in a FREE Pocket Fisherman! To avoid having too many backordered, I would have at least 10,000 on hand before the infomercial goes on the air.
Good Luck!

You are lying, in your "additional info" space you say "they wont patent idea's" but in your opener you have "I HAVE A WORKING PROTOTYPE". You are just trying to stir things up.

It's all in how you present it. You need to give them enough information to realize you aren't violating any conservation of energy laws.
