HI Ken, All,
        It doesn't have to work to be patentable. Even if it does, we live 
in a universe of conservative fields, which means the Inverse-square Law 
holds. At 10 ft you need 100X the power to light the bulb as at 1 ft, at 25 
ft 625 times the power. You would need a million $ for the patent, another 
million $ for your home electric bill, and another million $ to pay off FCC 
fines for EMI/RFI. Imagine several kW of unlicensed transmitters in every 
home. You could even turn your neighbor's lights on at 4AM !!! ;-)))
        Selling the patent is likely to be far more profitable than 
building the devices. As a former Amway Booster once said: "You make your 
real money in selling the dream, not in peddling the dish soap."

AhaHah, what a lamer

"THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL PUT THE CURRENT LIGHT BULBS OUT TO PASTURE. "

I'd keep the patent and get rich of royalities for lighting of the future
vs. trying to peddle my junk on ebay. I think my RF flashlight may be in
violation of his patent. Wires are evil.
