I agree, patent applications are not held to the same standards as professionally written journal articles, and I pity the unfortunate patent examiner who’s job it is to process mine. I also agree with you that it would be easier for an outsider to scrutinize the key concepts of BSF if a peer reviewed paper were published. But, it would be foolish for me to start writing that paper. There are certain requirements, unknown to me, that must be adhered to if one wishes to write a such a paper. Perhaps if I had had more exposure to reading scientific articles, I might consider attempting to write my own, but my knowledge is limited to a few “Scientific American” magazine articles that I read many years ago at a local public library, before they stopped carrying that subscription. That said, I would still like to continue improving my patent application, filling in missing details and making it easier to read. You could assist with that project, by pointing out the things about BSF that you find questionable. I expect some mistakes will be found in BSF’s patent disclosure, because it is so complex. Perhaps someone with a special expertise or willingness to look at it with fresh eyes can examine it, because an opportunity for improvement may be more obvious to them. Please, let me know if any flaws or potential weaknesses are identified.
Thanks
The patents will do nothing for you except waste your money. The is probably no chance that it would be built by someone else and happen to built similarly enough to your patented description. Take LPP for example, their patents are based on things actually built, and are specific enough to real devices within their apparatus… and NOT conceptual design patents that have never been tested in reality.
Like I said, you need to contact the folks who have actually put in the work previously. The approach may be new, but the concept has been experimented with before. They stopped for some reason, and you need to find out why exactly. It could very likely be a fundamental flaw or assumption that is flat out wrong… that makes it an impossible approach.
Right now, BSF is no where near being a contender. It lacks any resemblance to a scientific process.
