I trust that all of you denizens of these freaking newsgroups have noted how
Ed Dolan the Great, aka Saint Edward the Great, has ever proven Himself to
have your best interests at heart. I endeavor to instruct you on matters of
intelligence and morality, my only interests in life. I urge all of you to
get yourselves a brain with a soul to boot. It is very frustrating for one
so Great as Myself to be constantly confronted with only idiots, morons and
assholes who seem not to have the slightest acquaintance with intelligence
or morality.
All I hear lately is how great it is to be into sexually active. I urge upon
you the Way of the Cross. We all of us deserve nothing but misery and much
suffering for our sins. Why spend all eternity in Hell when you can
experience it right here on earth. Yea, I mean to bring some personal Hell
to you!
I will continue in my endeavors to bring some intelligence and morality to
these forlorn cycling newsgroups. It is not enough to ride your bikes
blissfully into the sunset, ignoring all the misery in the world. Why should
I be the only one to suffer and be miserable? Nay, the rest of you can
participate along with me. It will be good for you to get out of your world
of illusion, however briefly. Since the majority of you are going to spend
all eternity in Hell, I will introduce you to it right here and now.

Ed,
Try not to let your mind wander so ... It is far too small and fragile

A man after my own heart! It's 112 degrees here in Vegas today, so we
stay inside and take a dip in the pool and invent !!!! I have several
things going right now including the Electric Trike & Bike project.
One is a shishkabob skewer that we are having made in the Phillipines.
I have invested in Patents before, and come to the conclusion that they
take way too long and cost way too much to be worthwhile. Better to
beat them to the ket with something that you can sell before they
try to knock you off !
As a good friend of mine (who designs toys) likes to say ....all a
Patent does is entitle you to a lawsuit ! Expensive, time consuming,
and ultimately useless.
Once you are selling your inventions on the ket and you are
successful, you will always be one step ahead of the other guys that
try to beat you. Of course, it helps to speak Mandarin or some foreign
language. I am fortunate my partner does. :-)
Go for it. You really have nothing to lose. Forget the SBA, and all
those govt. beaucracies - they are no better than a Bank or a good
investor.
Best,

That is why I am inside. 105+ outside and I can't ride due to the sweat
in my eyes. Even a sweatband gets soaked through with me after about 5
miles so it is a doomed effort. Maybe if I got up at 3:00 A.M., but then
the police would probably keep stopping me as a possible drunk (bars
close at 2:00 A.M.) or drug dealer trying to slip by. I don't have to
ride every day, but I want to go out blackberry hunting over the next 2
weeks before they are all dried up.
Your comment on patents is my opinion too. They used to run it as an
inventor's protection service as it was conceived to be. Then a certain
president (Reagan?) came along and decided it should be a for profit
government entity and made it cost so much that only big companies could
afford to even apply. You could mortgage your house to pay them, but it
has sure put down the home based inventor. What was a hoot to me was
reading NASA Tech briefs and seeing some of my own inventions being
called new and to contact them over licensing. A few of their 'new'
electronics inventions were done by me years ago and were in production
long before some guy at NASA got the idea.
The one that stood out the most was a mid 1990's article on how to stack
FET transistors to achieve thousands of volts of output under computer
control. I did that in 1984 and again at another company in 1989, both
of which were produced.
I am on your side, make the money and run.

How exactly did your FET stack 'achieve thousands of volts'? Im very
interested. The are voltage doubles, triplers etc...... Is this the
idea??

Let me just say it was NOT rocket science. It was a controlled output
supply that needed to put out a very precise and measurable voltage and
current to test the breakdown voltage and leakage currents of other
semiconductors. At the time the highest voltage FETs available were
right at 1,000 volts and had an actual breakdown of about 1,200 volts.
Unlike Bipolar transistors that just went 'POP' FETs acted sort of like
Zener diodes and would just start leaking more and more at a bit above
their rated voltage. I achieved thousands of volts by 'stacking' them in
a big totem pole configuration and balancing the drive between gate by a
network of capacitors and resistors. The idea was to have the computer
program something like 800 volts at a current limit of 50 ua, then if it
got to 800 volts and the DUT (Device Under Test) didn't pop we could
measure the leakage current.
The first one I did in 1985 for Basic Test Systems, financed by
Supertex, a high voltage part manufacturer. They pulled the rug out from
under us and declared all the physical stuff theirs, but not our brains.
The second one I did for AOT, which was purchased by H.P. and did make
it into production about 1992.
The third, overlapping one I did was for Eagle Test Systems in Mundelein
Illinois for charging defibrillator caps and other higher power duties.
It too was in production when I read an article in NASA Tech Briefs
claiming that a scientist at one of their research centers 'invented'
this super technique and to contact them for licensing details.
I was ROTFLMAO since mine were already in production at 3 different
companies. It was hard to resist claiming plagiarism or just plain
stupidity that they did not know that it was ancient history.
Basic Test is history, a victim of corporate greed.
AOT was officially buried while I was working at H.P. as a consultant
for my own product line, updating things.
Eagle Test Systems may still be going in Mundelein, Illinois, but I
haven't checked.
If you are any kind of an engineer you should know of the companies.
I try not to do anything high level for any company now since I had many
more trivial things that could have been patented but no interest was shown.
Just to be 'on topic' at this point I miss Dolan now that we have that
moron Brickston clogging things up.

Your right, nothing new and/or exciting. You are using the FET as a
swtich. Most MOS FET have breakdown voltage around 400 to 500 volts.
So, 3 or 4 of them in a totem pole would do just fine. I missed the word
'switch' in your original post.

Not switches exactly, but linear output. Program in 872 volts with a
current limit of 50 ua and that was what you got. If you were testing a
good part it would read about 1ua, a bad part would read 50ua and maybe
only a few volts if it was really bad.
High precision linear test equipment.
I used to be the "Go to, guy" back in the 80's but got tired of the bay
area and the traffic jams all the time and everywhere I went.

Unlike some morons all I had to do was walk around the corner.
I had companies get into bidding wars for me, and had lots of stock to
show for it. Too bad companies came and went so fast back then or I

It is actually much more fun to start the ball rolling with an original post
than to be doing nothing but ending threads with much swearing, cussing and
slamming of doors. It would appear that both Bill and Captain are the
industrious types and therefore utterly alien to me. I am only interested in
sloths like myself.
I will only be looking in on the newsgroups occasionally from now on as I
have better things to be wasting my time on. I abhor being busy. I was born

I stopped looking at my dick by the time I was out of my teens, but types
like GaryG never seem to tire of it apparently. I think it is because they
pick up so many venereal diseases (you know, all that joy of sex shit) that
they worry they are going to lose it entirely. Hence, they just keep on
looking at it forever to make sure that it is still there!

Agreed, I don't think there is really a need or an excuse to Retire
anymore for our generation. If we use our brains and keep active why
leave all the fun to our kids? They will have it their way anyhow ! My
goal is to stay alive by staying interested in developing new business
ventures and particularly ones that make me feel good about life - not
necessarily meaning becoming a "large compounder" like Warren Buffet.
I mean doing stuff that just seems to go with the flow of the Planet,
since it is getting angry now and is threatening to strike back (Global
Warming, Terrorism, and all the other "Ism's).
Time to kick back and give back some of our freaking knowledge &
experience and set an example for our kids and grandkids. You will die
on the couch anyway someday - just when you least expect it - so grab
for all the gusto you can get and DO SOMETHING with your Golden Years.
It's really not too late. Some will disagree :-)

My thoughts exactly. I am presently looking for venture capital to start
up a business or 2 or 3 to produce some energy saving (major) inventions
of mine. They are fairly low tech but would save the country billions of
dollars each year if implemented. Funny how the EPA and DOE weren't
interested because I wasn't going high tech enough for them. Low tech
inventions still work and the average person could probably find
something to improve just by looking around for a few days. Now I am
prodding the SBA and some actual venture capital vultures but if I can
get some of these produced and keted the energy savings would benefit
the country vastly.
What I have is probably not patentable but very much producible if I had
a factory.
Starting a business is so much more interesting than just working 9 to 5
every day of your life. When I was working for someone else I found
myself assigned to some of the most time wasting projects you could
imagine. If I had an idea for something outside the assignment I was
usually told to stifle it.
Life as an inventor can go on as long as you can think.
Bicycling gets me out there to see things that could be improved, some
big and some trivial, but my mind is always spinning at least as fast as
my legs.

When was the last time you visited your Doctor ? If you are over 50
chances are he told you "you have to quit smoking (if you smoke),
change your diet to eliminate red meat, eat chicken or fish only with
steamed vegetables, exercise at least 40 minutes a day, and don't drink

That is how it is done. No smoking, no Alcohol even if a glass of red
wine is recommended at bed time, minimal Caffeine, a healthy weight and
at least a half hour a day when you can put your heart at the upper end
of you workout zone.
My personal favorite is steam chicken breast and Brussels sprouts with
no seasoning at all. Avoid dining out, even at the so called fancy
places because you just don't know how they got that meal to taste so
good. Mc food of any kind is obviously forbidden, and I have managed to
ride past even when starving from a ride. When I get home I usually have
a bag of frozen strawberries to munch on, ever so slowly.

I think after about age 80 that life is nothing but a
living Hell at which point we pray for death!
My Mother would vouch for this apparent reality. Just ask her. I
make a point to call them once a week back East, and she always tells
me that after 80 life is not worth a damn and she wishes she were gone.
Nothing but an endless series of doctor's appointments, pain, hearing
loss, and the list keeps going :-(.
On the other hand my girlfriend's mom who is Chinese and clost to 80 is
just a ball of fire and is always active and seems never to complain of

I think a lot depends on life style. My uncle retired and stopped even
doing projects around the house and one day when he was 75 just sat on
the couch as usual and "POOF", the big one and he was gone.
Jack Lalanne is still going strong at 93 (94?) because he still gets up
and works out at least 2 hours every day.
I think that most people have it in their head that retirement means
sitting on a beach and sipping Pina Colada's and that does not make for
a long retirement.
Food (limited amount of anything) and exercise, both physical and mental
are what keep you going.

Yea, Captain is a kindred soul. He knows exactly how to take these freaking
newsgroups. However, he needs to age about another 10 years to experience

living Hell at which point we pray for death!
