Hi Sheldon, All,


Regarding the issue of patents:

You have seen:

*[[Template:US patent]]
*[[Template:US patent reference]]
*[[Template:Cite patent]]
(incomplete list)

And the inevitable
*[[List of Tesla patents]]

Patents are used a lot as references in our 
dark corner where death rays, anti-gravity
devices, free energy machines, and the like
are nurtured by their fans.


Regards,
Peter
