DIAMOND-SHAPED FLUID POWERED LINKAGE, SYSTEM AND ENGINE The Diamond-shaped Fluid Powered Linkage, System and Engine patent application was first filed in 1999 in the USA as a provisional patent application. The patent process took it through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), via the European Patent Office, where it gained general international approval. The next steps gained patent approval in the USA under patent number 6,782,800 and approval in Europe under the European patent number 1240435. Patents were granted in Ireland, the UK, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Italy using the European patent number 1240435 as reference in those countries. The patent was granted in Austria under patent number AT E 280 331 T1 and in Germany under patent number DE 600 15 181 T2 2005.11.24. The Canadian Patent Office assigned number CA 2 424 712 to the Canadian patent. The operation of the Diamond-Shaped Fluid Powered Linkage, System and Engine challenges one of the most accepted concepts in the human scientific knowledge base. "Energy can not be created or destroyed." The fathers of the "laws", declaring the physical results of this invention impossible, did not have the benefit of our current materials and precise test equipment that allowed a more in depth understanding, regarding their claims. The holder of these patents does not believe that energy is truly understood by our collective human knowledge. The definitions witnessed define energy by what it can do, but do not state what it is. Declaring anything "impossible", with the knowledge we have accumulated to date, clearly states that for all eternity humanity will not surpass our current level of practical knowledge regarding the matter at hand. That is a lot of confidence, if not arrogance. We have to truly keep open minds if we hope to move forward effectively. I request that you think your way through this assessment, rather than react based on your belief system. Every point is scientifically supportable, challenge it with logical thinking. The primary concepts regarding the invention are: -1- If two unequal forces oppose one another, the stronger force will overpower the weaker force until equilibrium is reached. -2- If a hydraulic actuator is full of fluid causing its shaft to be extended, the fluid can be forced back out of the actuator by applying force to the shaft greater than the counter force applied by the fluid that fills the actuator. -3- Conventional cylindrical actuators, currently employed in hydraulics, are less efficient than other patented actuators. The alternate actuators were patented by Terence F. Reilley in 1874 under US patent number 147,519, Titus Powers in 1886 under US patent number 345,446, Frank H. Sleeper in 1901 under US patent number 696,768 and myself, David Strain, in 1999 under the patent numbers outlined in the first paragraph on this page. This paper walks you through the century old fundamental science and illustrates a control circuit regarding one potential Global Warming Solution. 13.244
