what i find interesting is the fact that often times even the exact wording
in the description is pirated from copyrighted text!
while looking for another book on power electronics, i came across a google excerpted section of the book that was also copied into the text of a patent application as if it were the original work of the guy applying for the patent.
i really wonder how many of these patents would hold up to court review?
wouldn't surprise me to see a new patent on a "wheel" come up in a google search.
not much new under the sun it would seem.
notice in the OP link, the reference to a stator with toroid coils?
hmmmm, sounds like my old torogen design to me,, and even my old torogen was designed on the shoulders of a design from the 50's, which was probably built on a design from even earlier in the century.
i wonder if those that get these patents, ever make a dime for their effort?
