My work, Residual heat controller, might be useful for many applications even other purposes as a car. Use of energy and especially rest energy should interest us more and more. We must save energy. It means "recycling" more and more. Even, a little  amounts of it in correct place saves world.  My work is not unique. Many other similar products exist. However, the idea that I can realize and further develop my own products is acknowledgeable. Thanks for Fab Academy and Fab Lab Oulu, Finland.

However, some software code might originate from others work. In this case I have noticed it or given a link to source page.

Patenting?

It might be possible that I find new uncommon business possibilities during use of my residual heat controller. It is situation that I must ensure that I can patent or other way register my intellectual rights. Then, can I use my software or must I code new? Many other questions arise. However, I must use commercial licenses of CAD/CAM and other software. It is different way for research and development.

Dissemination

My work include lot of doing. Everyone who want benefit it needs to make own boards and covers, however.
