I don't think you really believe that Rob?
They could have licensed the mfg'g and sales of this alledged carb and
made a fortune without breaking a sweat and still have markets for oil
which is used in everything.
Licensing is a great money-maker. The last year I worked; post IBM
retirement, RODIME, Ltd (stands for ROtating DIsc MEmory) went belly up
but before doing so they carved off the patent for the 3.5" hard drive to
a company consisting of less than 5 people. All they do is deposit checks
from all the hard drive mfg'rs, with hardly any overhead.
Wish I had a patent on toilet paper......over 4B users give or take the
few that squirreled away a supply of Sears Catalogs!
