Its a chicken and egg situation. Moller doesn’t want to disclose the new rotary engine technology because they believe that another company with the money with take it, develop it and run with it.

From Freedom Motors Post
RE: Quite simply put, if there was another engine out there to be used, we would have flying cars already.

But if Moller doesn’t disclose the technology the likelihood of getting funding is diminished and so is the chance of a stock price increase above 1 cents. Like I said no one is getting younger here.

What Moller is probably looking at is global patenting which at 190 countries at say $10,000 a country = $1.9 million. A self developed provisional patent gives an applicant 1 year, that’s $80, and multiple ideas can be crammed into 1 provisional patent. Then the international application gives the applicant several more months, 6 to 12 depending how you work it. Self developed that’s $2,500. At a bare minimum, global protection for 18 months would cost Moller less than $3,000. I know Moller can afford this right now. This would give Moller at least 18 months to shake the tree for money. Expose those secrets, it took way more guts to flight test that 400.

Moller should think like a “patent troll” as they say. If the engine technology is really worth something then the risk of disclosure should be worth it. At a minimum, if the $1.9 million for global patents doesn’t materialize Moller should have no problem getting protection in the U.S. and a few other key nations for less than $30k. Sometimes you can’t have it all. Then there is the money required to fight infringement in these dice rolling courts. And if the U.S. has the best court system then a worldwide fight is pure gambling at its finest.

I don’t think any investor is going to invest any sizable amount of money without at least seeing the drawings and specs particularly when so much money has already been invested in the same core engine technology. And to me non disclosure agreements are sometimes only worth the paper they are printed on. If this trade secret engine technology has any teeth to it then it might be better for another company to develop it at their expense and then Moller comes back and gets royalties. If a company truly see’s value they will jump at the chance of licensing it and not “steal” it.

There are 25 flying car companies out there with most of them trying to go electric, not because its cleaner but because combustion engines have failed to show and prove. I’m pretty sure one of these companies would convert to gas if they could get to market quicker.

But just as Moller is holding the technology under wraps, so may another company. Because of all of the interest in flying cars this could be the time they were waiting on to reveal the specs of a game changing combustion engine. All I’m saying is that Moller/Freedom Motors needs to be open to seeking out and licensing any engine technology that can at least boost the stock price. They can simultaneously use the money to develop Moller’s secret engine. I don’t think people believe in the rotary engine for flying cars anymore unless they see it in action and that takes big money.
