I got a mention in the Wired.com "Autopia" blogs this week:

Look in the comments section, "Posted by: 50pascals | 11/2/10 | 2:15 am |"

Maybe I could sue someone for ripping off my idea?

That's pretty interesting Sharkey , what a cool opportunity to finance the retirement.
Some of these people need to do some research to check if the original creator has dropped off the planet , before pinching ideas.

Would you be able to do a patent this late in the game??

edit; Opps , I just found the jstraubel link.

Oh yes, and in addition to being the originator of the EV Pusher concept, J.B. Straubel is also one of the lead engineers and officers of Tesla. I'd imagine by now he has enough loot to rather thoroughly sue me for infringement if I tried to cop the story that I invented it.

Maybe I could send my trailer back through a time warp to, say, 1982, patent it, and then sue everybody else in the present time...
