Message	designed to work on a specialized application. And the last time I looked, almost every gas powered engine has one. I'm pretty sure AMS/Vuk or their cronies (Z32 Innovations) don't forward online videos of DIY projects to their manufacturers in China or Taiwan to help them figure out how to copy something for them. They couldn't care less "how" something is made, just that it's made cheap enough for them. People throw around the term patent like it's the end-all to product copying, and that just isn't so at this level - the market isn't there to justify the legal fees associated with acquiring a patent or defending it.
