Don Lancaster: energy and small business

Don Lancaster: energy and small business Lancaster wrote in 'Nuts and Volts', wrote 'The Incredible Secret Money Machine', and has a website that ranges from small business to hydrogen economy to ebay to magic sinewaves. This is the link to his current blog, but take a look at his archived works. His writings on avoiding filing for patents are particularly thought-provoking and perhaps inspirational.

Interesting. He's published a number of books on electrical engineering, and his website has a real scientific-notebook feel.

Don's writings on the many and varied free-energy conspiracies are a constant source of joy to me. Plus, he is a perennial advocate of PostScript as a programming language. And he sells tons of stuff on eBay. Quite the renaissance nerd.

Don Lancaster's books and articles were part of my self-education in electronics in the 70's. I still have and use a copy of the CMOS cookbook. He was hacking before hacking was cool...
