Phlogiston and Wicking
Starting a new science HYDROTECHNOLOGY in the US
‘Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow’ (negative (-) pressure) from Edgar Buckingham (1907) updating Darcy's Law (1856) about Hydraulic Conductivity on porosity (Soil Physics, Jury et al., 1991, John Wiley) was mentioned in the Patent 6,766,817 (2004) in the American patenting system for the FIRST TIME on Artificial Porosity deploying basic knowledge already plenty on librabries from Hydrology/Hydrogeology/Soil Physics to the fluidic devices, developing new Hydrodynamic conceptions, also updating the Cradle of Hydrology to 70 thousands of years ago when Special Fluidic Devices, OIL LAMPS were invented by the Ancient Man making and controlling fire, triggering the onset of the HUMAN MODERN LIFE.
* As shown below, on Nov. 30, 2023, USPTO had issued 66;415 patents addressing fluid dynamics as wick/wicking, even worse, near TWO DECADES after my issued patent (US Pat. 6,766,817), in the same patent office, in the same language, grounded on basic knowledge on my PhD in the US, blessed by the American President attesting how his country was serious! How many of those LAY INVENTORS come from TOP ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS pretending they are scientists IGNORING BASIC KNOWLEDGE PLENTY ON THEIR LIBRARIES? USPTO allowed at least 12 wealthy corporations to reinvent my SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY with frauded patents from lay people as inventors, patent attorneys and examiners. Sars-Cov-2 showed that Nature is in charge of science which requires neither LAW ENFORCEMENT nor faith, just coherence and HONESTY.
** An American President playing oral sex in his office was just a Logistic mistake. The president of Penn State University covering up a pedophile was gross as humans should respect children and families. Children need protection till their sexual mature age. Science is the functioning of nature as should not be messed by business interest. It seems that the SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY lost track on its duties. This sort of of outcome let us to become suspicious on what scientists are preaching HARMING SCIENCE, by favoring business and ignoring nature functioning. WE MUST LOOK BACKWARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW OUR PHYSIOLOGY WAS MOLDED DURING OUR EVOLUTION. IN ORDER TO PREVENT THAT MODERN LIFE HARM OUR NATURAL LIFESTYLE IN BALANCE WITH NATURE. Simple examples: 'Our lungs were developed for O2 and CO2 exchange and NOT SMOKE. Nature is so bounty that it would have given us a chimney instead of a nose. Human reproduction is HETEROSEXUAL as during our evolution NATURE decided about those ones to deliver their genetic code to offsprings. HOW FAR CAN HUMANS IGNORE NATURE FUNCTIONING REAPING WHAT IS SOWN?
'Scientists are failing on Science obscuring our future!'.

“Astronomers have determined that our universe is 13.7 billion years old. How exactly did they come to this precise conclusion? How Old Is the Universe? How was the universe 100 billion of years ago? The best answer by Epistemology and Metaphysics of Science: WE DO NOT KNOW THE AGE AND SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE This silly statement of 13,7 billion of years assume that one day IN THE PAST nothing existed and then the next day the universe was born- LIKE A MOTHERLESS BABY! Probably some stars so far away, might exist, but their lights haven’t reached us yet. Some lights may still come and others not as our planet has an expiration date!
Oil lamps and self-watering flowerpots are fluidic devices that allow a removal of fluid in the Unsaturated Hydraulic Zone as gaseous form when molecular connectivity in the fluid is interrupted by its evaporation or combustion. Oil lamps use heat from the flame burning fuel while flowerpots use heat in the air feeding regular evapotranspiration rates. A new option to collect fluid from the Unsaturated Hydraulic Zone is by returning the fluid to the Saturated Hydraulic Zone when molecular connectivity is broken by the weight of water molecules crossing downward the Hydraulic Head reference line, from negative (-) to postivie (+). When there is no saturated water below the Hydraulic Head reference in the porosity, the falling water would pull water molecules downward speeding up the Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow, as already shown above.
Trying to understand a massive violation of my first issued patet (US Pat. 6,766,817) by USPTO I noticed that many SCIENTISTS inventors employing the terminology ‘wick/wicking’ neither understand the functioning of oil lamps nor Hydrogeology, concerning the principles of the Hydraulic Zones. Also, most of them were not lectured about Philosophy of Science to undestand how science works.
They come up with scientific flaws as wicks only have negative hydraulic flow (unsaturated). Wick is a porous flexible structure that moves fuel upward to the flame (Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow). Besides of hydrodynamic properties, wicks also need to resist to high temperatures of flames. It is a basic Etymological flaw to call something as a wick that fails as wick on oil lamps. Even more, wicks could never be used as a draining porosity. After all, wicks never worked in the bottom of oil lamps. The sciences that handle fluids moving on porosity. like Hydrology, Hydrogeology and Soil Physics have no single quotation on wick/wicking simply because the Hydrodynamics is far more complex than oil lamps, requiring no flames at all, just a HYDRAULIC GRADIENT.
What is the point of USPTO allowing frauded patents, that does not work from lay inventors and wealthy corporations, violating claims already issued, grounded by advanced scientific background of classical sciences HYDROLOGY, HYDROGEOLOGY AND SOIL PHYSICS plenty on libraries? Illiterate people do not write patents as literate ones are educated enough to avoid such embarassment. After all, the US as the leader of the world is supposed to be serious and show some coherent and logical behavior.
'Is it a result of naive negligence on duties, or just a daring will to insinuate how far stupidity can reach? After all, Americans wasted around 1.2 million lives of their citizens to Sars-Cov-2 in the last pandemic more than of all wars combined. It seems that profiting was more important than saving lives, till hospitals got clogged and colective burials started, making the US the largest tragedy on COVID-19 in the world!
THE WORLD NEEDS A BETTER LEADERSHIP in order to PURSUE A BALANCE WITH NATURE.
Ignoring SCIENCE is like misstepping with DUE CONSEQUENCES!
HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY (volume/area/time, mm3/mm2/s or mm/s flowing by a hydraulic gradient) - Oil lamps take about 15 ml/h of kerosene to feed the flame while an African violet consume about 1 ml/h of water to replace the evapotranspiration rates. The highest fluid flow gauged on artificial porosity was K = 2.18 mm/s of Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity (6,766,817). It could deliver by the unsaturated hydraulic syphon below 16.9 ml/h (K = 0.37 mm/s), or vertically up to 99.6 ml/h at the flow rate of K = 2.18 mm/s.
The reversible flow transmission between compartment and tubarc geometry (tube+arc) to correct capillarity are proposals that were patented in the
‘What is the chance that Alfred Nobel author of 355 patents and Albert Einstein author of 50 patents would be beyond the boundaries of comprehension on their own issued patents granting them protection for their intellectual property achievement?’
Para: Elson Silva, PhD
-------------------
FOOD FOR THOUGHT – If an inventor PhD from Harvard can have USPTO issued patents to protect his intellectual property rights but he does NOT understand it, how much the Patent Attorney and Patent Examiner knows about the issue granted protection by US Government. If it holds true, it means that Lawyers know about science more than scientists do. Amazing! I just imagine TODAY Albert Einstein trying to get patents with his scientific papers .. . It means that those guys in the patenting affairs would handle Theory of Relativity more than him.. Awesome, Mayday Mother Nature!
My ‘scientific breakthrough’ deals deeply with Hydrogeology/Soil Physics/Hydrology. When I took classes at the Pennsylvania State University of such disciplines during my PhD in Soil Science I remember seeing no single Law student as classmate.
Would a signed DOC called POWER OF ATTORNEY to let PATENT ATTORNEYS becoming SCIENTISTS just because they got B.S. in some field of science? WHERE IS THE BOUNDARY between LAW and SCIENCE inside an ISSUED PATENT?
Who decides in a patent conflict? Jury? Judges? Scientists? Who undestand the boundaries of SCIENCE?
What is the LEGALESE of science?
If my patent was being violated I had simple questions to pursue:
· Was it a casual violation or a clear biased trend?· Had the examiner already cited my patent earlier? · Did the inventors and examiner have technical-scientific background in the issue?· Was the violator a wealthy party? · Was the examiner citing my patent to be sure he was granting new claims not claimed before?· Why my issued patent was being randomly cited for irrelevant patents and ignored when violated blatantly?

You are a fool---
If you can’t understand legal or technical writing, you have no business blogging about it
“Wicking” is a term of art---fluid will travel in any direction via the fibers—regardless of gravity
-------------------(It means that Legal oil lamps and Legal candles can work upsided down immune to gravity! Oh Dear!)
(It means that Legal oil lamps and Legal candles can work upsided down immune to gravity! Oh Dear!)
"Wick/wicking is in the US patent classification system (WIPO as well) but not on HYDROLOGY textbooks."
LEGAL WICKING as the term of the art regardless of gravity confirms USPTO long standing bias more than a century ignoring hydrology on conductivity parameters of issued patents:
LEGAL WICKING as the term of the art regardless of gravity confirms USPTO long standing bias more than a century ignoring hydrology on conductivity parameters of issued patents:
How important is HYDROTECHNOLOGY as a NEW SCIENCE?
The technical importance of Hydrotechnology can be verified by exploratory analysis of the conductivity parameters: Thermal, Electric, and Hydraulic; mentioned in the issued patents in the US . Lay people that are not aware of Hydrology, Hydrogeology, or Soil Physics have employed the terminology of ‘wick/wicking’ instead of Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity respecting Hydraulic ZONES, when the fluid flow is positive (+) or negative (-) observing their intrinsic HYDRAULIC PROPERTIES..
USPTO search issued patents on:
Jan 07,2015 Nov 30, 2023Thermal/Heat Conductivity 100.744 176.074Electrical/Electric Conductivity 76.949 139.254 Hydraulic Conductivity 750 1.329Wick/wicking 33.577 66.415
"Violation of science: Why bad apples spoil the barrel?" C O N T A M I N A T I O N !
It can be concluded that Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity mentioned in only 29 issued patents on January 7, 2015 had been ignored by USPTO inventors opening a wide GAP for a new science - Hydrotechnology. A large number of issued patents that mention the term ‘wick/wicking’ 33,577 (66.415) issued patents shows a huge technical-scientific gap as lay people unaware of Hydrology try to develop fluidic devices without checking specialized scientific literature plenty of libraries from old and classical sciences..
'SCIENCE is our understanding on nature functioning'.
HUMANS learn to respect NATURE early as babies on the first steps taming gravity for walking and running. Soon we understand the consequences of misstepping and falling down.
IN CONCLUSION, all issued patents dealing with wick/wicking are CERTAINLY frauded because PATENT EXAMINERS ignored their homework from the beginning of their lives - GRAVITY.
Sir Isaac Newton defined the Law of Universal Gravitation in 1687. He was inspired to formulate his theory of gravitation by watching the fall of an apple from a tree.

After a decade, he retired to Northern California.

This email from an Emeritus Faculty of Educational Psychology provided valuable insights and feedback showing how deep the academic community is compromised on scientific affairs in the US.They were supposed to know that Darcy’s Law on Hydraulic Conductivity is not written in the US constitution, but endorsed by Mother Nature. THE US AS THE FIRST ECONOMIC POWER IN THE WORLD GRABBED TWO-THIRDS (411/621) OF NOBEL PRIZE NOMINATIONS FOR SCIENCE. Exploratory Analysis shows that the American scientific community has been violating Hydrology science in the Patenting System more than a century, leaving a gap huge enough for a new science Hydrotechnology. It seems that working with the Chemistry of explosives is far more profitable than the Hydrology of self-watering flower pots.
It is very likely that that few scientists do understand the meaning of their titles PhD as Philosophy Doctor from Philosophy of Science (Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logics, and History of Science).
In my neighborhood, I saw the Scientific Police taking pictures of swings I installed on trees for children in the Park during the COVID-19 pandemic lock down. Society try to employ the word SCIENCE for POWER, but there is a misunderstanding as scientific principles claim TRANSPARENCY and HONESTY. Nature is in charge of SCIENCE as there is no POLICE to enforce Nature LAWS. Even religion try to use Scientology for credibility. I like the simple conception that God = Nature. However, Nature writes no books, promises no lands, no life after death, NO WAR or death in name of a divine. RELIGIONS were created to attenuate losses on human conflicts, attacking or defending conmmunties. But now, it is acombination of POLITICS and BUSINESSES exploiting human broad ignorance. In around 4 billions of years of our planet, it seems that we got no aliens to affect our evolution. Plants developed the basic bioengineering of making up organic matter, but herbivores and carnivores inherited partial reengineering to breaking down sun energy harvested in the chemistry of carbon molecules. Nature also designed the reproductive system for each life being to ensure survival and evolution. Most probable we are not leaving our home until the end in 6 to 8 billions of years. Human challenge is to keep nuclear weapons safe, cropping soils, mining our minerals and preserve our home in balance with nature functioning, making our blue planet good for all humans. So, we are protected from aliens as they are protected from human continuous arrogance and destruction. WE HAD TO CALL OUR OWN SPECIES as homo sapiens TO PRETEND THAT WE KNOW.
What we see in the universe is just for light travelling at 300.000 km/s. So far, our modern rockets can travel up to 30.000 km/h (1 hour = 3.600 seconds)
If we increased the speed of our rocket TEN TIMES to 300.000 km/h. it would be travelling in ONE HOUR what LIGHT CAN TRAVEL IN A SECOND! Human knowlege is very limited in the extremes of time and space. We need to learn to say: WE DO NOT KNOW IT!!!! We do not know how big the universe is, how it started, and how old it is, etc.

THE WORST CRIMINALS ARE IN THE CHAIN OF POWER, not serving time in jail! The American president caught doing oral sex in his office, was the speecher of my PhD commencement at Penn State Univ. The university president who signed my PhD diploma let young boys being raped for a decade in the facilities where I got my scientific education. The higher education that Americans can provide to their citizens come from ‘scientists’ authors of US patents beyond their comprehension, violating science and supporting a reinvention policy. Like in my neighborhood, the GENOCIDE IN GAZA DECIMATING WOMEN AND CHILDREN comes from POWERFULL PEOPLE with scant affection to families and children. Justice has the power to make the TRUTH legal or illegal, by ignoring Nature and stepping over the boundaries of science, supporting dangerous dictators careless enough to destroy our planet.
Only HONESTY is the unique equation to ensure our future.
Why Hydrotechnology as a NEW SCIENCE is lagging like a ghost since 2014?
1. REINVENTION POLICY in the US is just one more outcome from the rooted economic ambition in the richest country in the world by letting greed and fear replace offer and demand, neglecting HONESTY and reasoning, causing the 2008 Economic Meltdown burning 41 trillion dollars of the world economy. The Covid-19 tragedies was a struggle between saving lives and profiting, when the US as the leader wasted around 1,2 million victims, that was only restrained with clogged hospitals and collective burials. In addition, Americans are the leader of a spreading obesity having a third of its citizens obese and two-thirds overweight by combining excessive food and machinery with sedentary lifestyles and electronic gadgets brooding a SPECIAL MODERN MAN with lower brain resources from neurogenesis effect reducing neurons and mood, making humans dumber and grumpier, tougher to rescue.
2. HONESTY is a vanishing human attribute inside corporations, government, institutions, academic, and scientific communities. Like muscles, our brain also comes with variable performance potential. We try to coin the best brains as intelligent, but it is a waste of natural resources if gifted ones do not take care of themselves and the wellbeing of their own species. A simple deduction of curbed waistlines come from clever ones.
3. Today, any scientist following the steps of Alfred Nobel would end up in Guantanamo Bay or a tycoon of weaponry industries on Wall Street waging wars on poor countries. Alfred Nobel known as the ‘Merchant of Death’ and ‘Father of Dynamite’ installed 90 weaponry plants claiming as a pacifist. He never attended any university, nor did he obtain any degree. It shows that working with the chemistry of explosives is far more profitable and accepted than the Hydrology of self-watering flowerpots.
4. Modern Scientists of academia assume that dozens of articles published on WEALTHY scientific journals and a VALUEABLE Nobel Prize nomination is the beacon of science, by endorsing economic power and ignoring Nature balance functioning. The American scientific community ignored HYDROLOGY on patenting affairs more than a century leaving a gap huge enough for a new science HYDROTECHNOLOGY. The US grabbed 2/3 of Nobel Prizes (411/621) clearly supporting a WICKED REINVENTION POLICY, outstanding enough for an Economic Nobel Prize nomination, by concocting many folds of INVENTION, creating the same thing over and over playing variable etymology, in the hands of powerful people bearing low brain resources.
5. The press became highly biased on profiting by highlighting and/or suppressing critical information, as fear and greed make happiness and peace nearly worthless. Nature does not care about the economy as the rainfall and the sunlight come to us FREE OF CHARGE. Freedom of expression is more a business than a human right.
6. It seems that the Pandora’s Box is open to let scientists refresh presumed principles, as Nature has no need of enforcement and faith. Humans bow to Nature early as babies taming gravity for walking and running. Falling down is the simple consequence of neglecting gravity by missteping. We had been deceived that weirdoes would sing open sesame on nature secrets, as scientific discoveries must come from expensive labs.
7. How to measure the value of science? How to assess the importance of knowledge? How to pursue a balance with Nature? Uncontacted natives of Amazon jungle have enough knowledge to survive in balance with Nature functioning bearing ZERO obesity, ZERO deforestation rates, and NO POWER TO DESTROY OUR PLANET.
8. The PATENTING SYSTEM is a scientific issue, not a LEGAL ONE. Law Schools just teach about Laws of man. Inventions come from increase of knowledge expanding the boundaries of science which deals with Nature functioning. A modern CAN OPENER may need Material Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electric and Electronic Engineering, so it can have memory, Wi-Fi, webcam, temperature and pressure sensors, timer, self-functioning and recording options, etc. Besides cans are replaced by high tech packaging.
9. LEGAL SYSTEMS are human and highly prone to distortions playing with the truth between legal and illegal, while SCIENCE bow to Nature functioning as gravity, for example, is unique and always loyal to everything, everywhere, and every time. THE TRUTH MAY BECOME LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, harming science or supporting dangerous dictators.
Concepts of unsaturated flow can be developed by employing artificial porosity between hydraulic zones with a longitudinal continuity far more consistent and advanced than the granular porosity of rocks and soils. The fluid moves reversibly into a response of the hydraulic gradient which can be outlined to work under gravity conditions or a more complex setup always exploiting molecular connectivity on fluid dynamics.

Absurd 1 – I am not a Hydrologist. To be honest none of them is a Hydrologist since neither wick/wicking nor microfluid can be found on Hydrology textbooks. All those people violating science, breaking the Law and colluding with USPTO on reinvention and brainwashing is familiar with water science just by washing hands and taking shower. Paul Yager, PhD is a Chemist mentioning wick 54 times at his patent application (20150361487).The size of this shame can be gauged on numbers as today Jan 10, 2016 wick/wicking is mentioned in 35.499 issued patents while Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow is mentioned in just 42 issued patents. It can be observed that my three issued patents were the first ones to deploy Hydrogeology to the fluidic devices in the patenting system (6,766,817, 6,918,404, and 7,066,586). (De: John Mehl [mailto:jmehl11@hfs.washington.edu] Enviada em: sexta-feira, 8 de janeiro de 2016 16:56 . . . I don’t know why you would send this to me. I am a chef, not a hydrologist. Please remove me from your email list. Thanks, JOHN MEHL, Executive Chef & General Manager, McMahon 8, Housing & Food Services – UW Dining). So, I have no need to send emails to Hydrologists.
- USPTO hides the technical background of Patent Examiners as we do not know how much they are known in the art for judging the boundaries of technical issues for inventions (Epistemology)
- USPTO allows multiple applications of the same invention collecting more money from wealthy parties and letting some of them get through by lay Patent Examiners
- USPTO assigns lay examiners that allow reinvention with flawed lazy patents from wealthy parties colluding with corrupt dishonest Patent Attorneys and Patent Examiners.
- Inventors are forced to sue wealthy parties violating their issued patents sometimes with flawed patents feeding a surge of Lawyers and bureaucracy that plunder on this ongoing conspiracy.
Is it possible to reinvent the same thing over and over varying inventors and/or dates?
