No, I don’t believe every device that has been patented does what it was represented to do. On the other hand, I’m not convinced that every device that was denied a patent fails to do what it was represented to do.

Rather than bicker back and forth with you, let me ask you this. Is there an agency that has been set up with engineers or physicists that provides a verification process for devices and claims like this?

There is an Underwriter’s Laboratory that evaluates electrical devices to verify if they are safe. It seems there could be a need out there to have an agency something similar to this, where an inventor could bring his device and have it tested for a fee.

Every inventor that comes up with a new device obviously thinks it works (or is an obvious shyster). This would allow an independent group to verify or deny the claims. And who cares if it was a device that had been tested hundreds or thousands of times before. If the guy paid the fee, it would be evaluated.

I know you folks have reasons behind your conclusions on these devices. I certainly do not claim you are wrong. I would like to see devices tested before I sign on to that same conclusion.

Obviously not. - Who would fund it?

If congress tried to stick us with the bill, I'd scream bloody murder!
