UK Patent GB 231365B Generating superheated steam to turn a turbine using microwaves and water. I wish to give this knowledge free to all and anyone who may be able to use it. What is the best way to reach engineers and academics who wish to develop the process. This is ideal for power stations but can be developed as a small scale plant. I'm giving it away free in the hope it helps with our golbal problem. any useful links to post the patent is welcome.

Do not send it to any government. Send it to as many Universities as possible. Address it to their engineering departments.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU EXPRESS YOUR DESIRE TO GET IT OUT FREE TO THE WORLD!!!!

I have to agree with the other comments. I would think that it would use more energy than directly heating the water to make steam using the burning of gas or oil. If it does, it will not be taken up. Regarding how you could , "give it to the world", I have some experience here. I too have tried to give good ideas away. It is very difficult and generally not successful. I have had much better success presenting to investors with a business plan and the idea (patent filed). With in three minutes they where asking how much I needed to go forward and put money into the project. Getting investors is much easier and if the idea is good, you make money. I recommend this route.

I'm frequently in touch with those sorts of people. From past experience, I urge you to ask yourself two questions:
(1) Does it break the first law of thermodynamics? If you are not able to write down, in numbers, all of the energy flows (including whatever makes your microwaves), and show that SOME energy is consumed from SOMEwhere to make your electricity, then please bin it.
Sorry to be harsh but we see too many of these things. The one thing that's perpetual about perpetual motion is that the cranks who believe in it will never be satisfied; nor will they ever contribute anything beyond hot air.
(2) Does it break the second law? This matters because you are clearly creating something for thermal power generation. How hot is your heat input, on average? How cold is your heat rejection? There must be SOME heat rejection (cooling towers, seawater, district heating, whatever). Write those two numbers in Kelvin and divide cold by hot. That tells you the proportion of your energy input which MUST be dumped and cannot be turned into electricity. If it breaks the second law, go back to the sums and try to see if your heat in is really any hotter, and coolth out any colder, than an ordinary CCGT power station. You may still have to bin it.
Once you've done that, go to an energy exhibition and walk the floor. You will find orientation if your idea is good, awkward shuffling if you are a crank.
Good luck, and please don't be a crank!

Does this really generate a great deal of power?
I would think that since you are using the microwaves to provide molecular friction (thermal energy from electromagnetic energy on ionized particles) and this molecular friction causes state change of the molecules (water to steam) and the kinetic energy of the steam is what turns the turbine (gas pressure), how do you generate more energy from the steam when you consider that you subtract energy to form the microwaves and also to compensate for non-idealities?
Very interesting.

Try The Sun and the Daily Mirror
If you intend giving it away, why did you patent it? Where do you get the energy to generate the microwaves from?

How do you get the microwaves? Surely that uses energy in itself?
By the way, if it does work then expect a hitman to be arriving on your doorstep from one of the big oil companies!

Good for you Henry M. Could use more people like you
Try Resources for the Future, they do a lot of energy publications.

hi!
I m not so net savvy. I happen to be an IIT engineer with over 20 yrs experience and involved with energy saving devices. Based at Agra, India
You are welcome to share things with me. Let's hope we give back to society at least a part of what it has given to us.
