(The following post was optimistic when it was first posted in September 2017. Since then a few things changed as has been strike through here.)
This innovation is undergoing an Indian patent process initiated by our client Vigyan Ashram. Hence Small Design can not blog/discuss about it. Once the patent is secured, Small Design will make public all the related documents. UPDATE : Vigyan Ashram disagrees with me sharing my innovation as it claims full ownership.
- Although I am the main innovator for this design, i am personally against patenting a socially relevant project like this one. However, the client Vigyan Ashram has the final say in this regard. I have chosen to exclude myself from the patenting process.
- VA has promised me that the patent initiative’s sole objective is to reserve the credit of this innovation with themselves. This will help them with funding agencies that support science and technology projects in India.
According to their written promise, this innovation will be ‘open-sourced’ once patent process is complete: meaning anyone can copy, modify and produce this innovation by giving name credits to VA.Sadly this is not true anymore on behalf of VA.
When i get some time off i will try to create an opensource version of the incinerator. – 7th June 2018
