Did he reference this (or any other) texts for his work (there are many to chose from)? So, one must ask, what happened to “scholarship” as part of the measure of academic and creative achievement? Will now everyone in the future be allowed to just re-invent science and get media attention by any means necessary?

Anyway, this is nothing compared to the 2004 Siemens Science Competition!!! Now THAT was a really bad job by the media, especially ABC News that got completely suckered by it (so much so, that they have not reported on this particular competition again!).

Our children are very bright if we just give them the proper tools and support they can CREATE solutions to many problems.

Americans must wake up and take action to protect our liberty and way of life.

America must rejuvenate itself and become the huge industrial power it once was.

It starts by re-inventing the wheel and building manufacturing facilities in the United States that employ Americans who produce quality goods at a competitive price with space age technology and modernization.

Organized workforce and benefits has to be revamped to meet today’s economic conditions.

Government and its bureaucracy must be reduced and streamlined. Rules and regulations must be revamped to be conducive to business growth and development.

“Good leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion”
“It is Cheaper to Save Energy than Make Energy”

YJ Draiman for Mayor of Los Angeles

My bet is the kid’s got a pretty bright future ahead of him, though, and will likely do more for the world than the large percentage of the population :D

The kid’s conclusions were proven false. His theory and the way he tested it (measuring voltage instead of power) is incorrect.

For a pro-renewable energy site, you’d figure you would do a little research before you post articles like this…

According to U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, a provisional patent allows filing without a formal patent claim, oath or declaration, or any information disclosure (prior art) statement. It provides the means to establish an early effective filing date in a later filed non-provisional patent application filed under 35 U.S.C. §111(a). It also allows the term “Patent Pending” to be applied in connection with the description of the invention. When you see something that says “patent pending”, that means someone has a provisional patent. It’s a way of protecting an idea until the long and winding process of being awarded a full patent is still ongoing.
