📋 Patent Portfolio Strategy

These four granted New Zealand patents represent 50+ years of systematic research and development. NZ 738314 and NZ 739314 cover measurement, monitoring, and anti-fouling technology — forming the basis of WardScope products. NZ 770993 and NZ 778527 cover the electromagnetic field generation and controlled cavitation processes central to Ward Effect water purification.

Note: While measurement technology (WardScope products) may remain commercially protected to fund ongoing R&D, all water purification aspects will be open-sourced once validated — allowing free humanitarian use worldwide.

About the Inventor

David Ward

Independent inventor, engineer, and Six Sigma Black Belt based in Tacloban, Philippines. Over 50 years of systematic research into electromagnetic systems, measurement technology, and water purification. The journey began as a boy on a farm surrounded by water that couldn't be drunk.

🔬 Research Focus

Electromagnetic technology, controlled cavitation, spectrum analysis, water treatment systems

💡 Innovation Approach

Systematic experimentation, real-world validation, patent protection followed by open-source release

🎯 Mission

Fund development through WardScope products, validate technology, then open-source for global humanitarian use

"Organizations spend more on administration than water treatment. Solution: develop technology so accessible that market forces drive costs below one night's hotel accommodation."

🔓 Once validated, all Ward Effect Technology aspects related to water purification will be released as OPEN SOURCE

No licenses. No fees. No restrictions for humanitarian water treatment applications.

Support the Mission

Help fund the R&D needed to validate this technology and release it to the world as open source.
