The patent's formally granted as of yesterday George. The link below is to the Patents Journal of 11 April 2018 and “GB2486636: Spherical solar collection system” is on the first page:

So it could now be referred to as a form of peer reviewed document (because it has been reviewed as new, novel and work-able by two reviewers at the Patents Office).
The next logical stage seems to be head towards developing the predictions of the geocentric hypothesis. There are a number of predictions falling out of it, but most of these are minor and result in well-known Neolithic structures. As a result, they do not prove anything much about the hypothesis (because interpretation of that evidence could have been chosen to fit the hypothesis).
However, there are two major predictions of the hypothesis which would result in unusual Neolithic remains (of structures) being found at very specific locations. Those two major predictions were referred to within the 2012 Novel (the Broken Stone and the Secret of the Heavens' Henge). Fortunately, none of the locations have been, or are currently being, investigated to any degree so the remains, if they exist, are not known to exist. If interest develops in the geocentric hypothesis, these two prediction locations may be useful because they might provide the means to test the hypothesis by excavation and observation.
These predictions are particular topographic locations with constructions (or other topographic features) that would have to exist in order for a geocentric world-view to have developed in the particular form seen at Stonehenge. Interestingly, the local geological records at one of the locations (which happens by luck to contain petrological descriptions) show that the most easily accessible bedrock layer is almost identical to that of the Altar Stone (as described by Ixer & Turner for the NHM thin section). However, the locations are fragile and could easily be destroyed by momento gatherers. This is the major potential issue with publication.
The next immediate task on the list seems to be to develop the remaining technical aspects (to show more about the remaining features of the monument) and then see if interest develops to the point where tests of predictions need to come about. If it does, I have to find a way to publish the predictions in a suitable format. I've been thinking about what a suitable format would look like for just over seven years now, but have not come to any conclusion. So any suggestions would be welcome.
