Bill Gates wastes his money on 1930s technology

[autogyro]

Tesla and Volt are already old technology.
I have never been a salesman RM.
I find the whole process distasteful.
I prefered to work hands on and as a consultant.
I have seen a number of my ideas reach the mainstream but I have made little money from any of them.
I am semi retired now and have no intention of rushing around the globe trying to convince people to invest in my 'magic gearbox' as you put it.
The thought makes me feel ill already. If it made me millions it would still not be worth having to deal with some of those in the industry I have met already.

I just get highly charged when I read such pathetic drivel as this opoc engine and realise just how much the public are being conned.

If you are semi-retired and not concerned with the millions of dollars why not give it to the world for free? Do your bit in saving the planet from destruction...not only that it would save time and money that has gone into the old technology.

I cant believe I just read this.
In a modern world dominated by the greed system, you expect me to give my ideas away? I would sooner they were buried with me thanks.
The world does not need my help.

Pretty much what Bill Gates is doing now. Like you said, many of those things are old hat, but people like Gates is trying to help people who may have ideas that may advance those old tech that might benefit from some extra R&D and may be useful now, that might otherwise never receive the fund to at least try out to see IF it works. You are semi-retired, a lot of people who are not might still have means of trying pursue something.

Like I said, Musk is swindling people out of big money, its certainly worthwhile for some smaller sum be give out to some other people who may be at least as viable.....

Personally at this junction of technology transition, I'd rather see more avenue being at least looked at with some seriousness, than having someone like Musk or something trying to steer people down something that might not be as well thought out as he is trying to convince people to be.

The world may be full of greed, that does not mean you have play the same game...the world needs every ones help...if no one will give it unless there is a profit to me made we are doomed and you know it.

I said the world did not need my help.
Humans can do what they like, not my problem.
You want to moralise at someone contact Bill Gates.

Hence there is no need for you to comment on what someone else is doing with their money, maybe not all Bill Gates' money, but certainly not your money.....

Bill Gates is working for the interests of the American Government as he always has. That means the manufacturers of oil burning transport and energy production and those that supply the oil. There is a battle developing between this established system and the new alternatives option. At present the old way holds all the cards including investment in ideas. It is changing but only as fast as getting rid of silly ideas like this opoc engine.

Strange but I cannot remember even mentioning money, must be something important to you.

ummm look at the thread title.

If you have something to contribute why withhold it? We have all heard many times how many problems it could solve..do it for the greater good.

The idea behind the Polio vaccine was given away for free.
The Linux kernel was given away for free.
The instructions for producing Pennicillin were freely circulated.
The hypertext protocol was freely distributed.

Ever thought about gaining a place in history, at the expense of your wallet?

Money is just one way of associating interest...I mentioned money because money is in the thread title, which if I am not mistaken you've made the thread....

As soon as the discussion turns somewhat sensible you had to put the tinfoil hat stuff on again.....say what you will about Gates and his post-Microsoft endeavors he is spending his(and his foundation's) money on lots of things that they think will help people(in general). Be it as technologies that as you think will prolong interest in oil, or cure cancer. You can be as bitter or cynical as you want to be about stuff like that, you don't have to always air it out to all of us to hear. I am sure its also not the best way to spend your semi-retirement life neither....

So without reading all of this garbage I will try to summarize in a post

Americans are dumb and just copy the British
British WW2 airplane engine
Oil Barons
magic transmission
unintelligible rants
first slot car track
Conspiracy to keep electric cars off the road.


Lather rinse repeat.

Do you not see the double standards of your posts?

At almost every opportuninty you are pushing your device that is so far nothing more than a paper exercise, and berating everyone else to the point of being offensive.

It's akin to me holding the cure for cancer, but not doing anything becuase 'I just can't be arsed'. Then berating everyone else for futilely pursuing the wrong thing.

Fact is: If he think's he's helping, and is giving his money away on ideas that may or may not help. Tat's only a good thing. It's not for you to come on to a forum whilst sitting up there in your ivory tower showering --- on everyones efforts.

I really do appeal to you now, for your own sake (if not for yours, for everyone elses). As just look at the thread above. The way you are condicting your posts is just pissing everyone off.

[autogyro]

I had no intention of bringing my 'magic gearbox' up.
Someone else did, check the thread.
I know it is difficult to accept this opoc engine as an obsolete con.
Unfortunately it is obviouse and no attempts to disrupt the thread will prove otherwise.
Somebody suggested a technical discusion on the opoc engine I am completely in support of this.
Please begin.
