ETHICS and IMPLICATIONS of a small stand-alone Excess Energy Generator

Hypothetical - Assume a small, but powerful (W input - kW output), was concieved
and proven to function. It requires no input fuel of any kind; has no moving parts;
runs silent; has an infinite operating duration; and is relatively tiny (~6" x 3"  x 4").

Would this device be a Saviour or an Enslaver? Who would decide? Who can decide?

Before you make up your mind, here's a few key words to consider:

    - FPV..., - Loitering..., Robot..., etc... , etc...

We were taught to be Good Stewards of the technologies we developed. Were we? Are we? Who decides?

Hello SL,

To whoever wrote the above (Anonymous) I will be more than happy to clear some FACTS.

Such Device will definitively be a SAVIOUR; however, it depends on the hands that it falls...

If the inventor, or developer is a greedy person, who only thinks for him, and "to him" all the glory...then runs to the USPTO or EPO, to attempt to "patent" such device on his/her name, or his "assignee corp."...then that is it, end of story...

Normally on this case, the DoE or DoD (USPTO Bosses) will declare such device a "Threat to National Security" Patent would be sized...all reason due that..it will kill all oil industry, World will go into a Caos...etc,etc.

On the other hand, if it is shared, disclosed in full, (like we do here, Open Source) so MANY others across the World could reproduce it...then, and ONLY then, is a Saviour.

And No one, no DoD, no DoE, no USPTO, absolutely NO ONE could legally seize nothing, because there is nothing...it is FREE.

I could expand on this...but this is a "short version" of the Two Outcomes.

Edit: And we are very close to this last part...

Hi Ufopolitics,

Just trying to sort out the delimena - but I suppose it's moot at this point; the concept is already out there
and whether it's "free-to-the-world" or "patented" makes little difference at this point. 

Since - It's already been developed and disclosed in full. Hard to put it back in box now!

MIC, and all others, good or bad,  I suspose, can use the device either way. Will have to 
think-out-of-the-box a bit to come up with a way of attempting to limit the use for good only - that was 
kind of Anonymous' point!

Maybe just wait and hope for a more "friendly World state-of-affairs" to develop! Probaby the 
only good answer. Or, maybe have it burried by Uncle GOV (of course that only works until the first
one is captured and reverse engineered by the other team).

Still doesn't answer the Ethics question however. Sometimes, it's not so good, to be too good, aye...

Oh well - as they say: "No good deed goes unpunished!" Can hope no one else will really figure it out; as
unlikey as that may be... and it just falls through the cracks, so to speak

Anyway, thanks for sharing your version of the facts, appreciated.

Hi SL,

Just one last thing...

Excellent point (observation) - thanks!

Maybe a real viable approach; might not even take that long either... and
the timing may be "ripe" as well! 

The device is simple enough, although lamination costs are still pretty high
but there are work-arounds that might function OK. 

Getting the word out to the world is still a challenge however. Need a credible
Youtube-like method - maybe "X" or another similar social media scheme.
