Invented the Electric Car? - Fork out!

Perhaps the most notorious example of how the invention is not allowed to move a EV1 company "General Motors", which was dedicated to the documentary film "Who Killed the Electric Car?» EV1 was the world's first mass-produced electric vehicle, 800 models which in the late nineties gave up GM rent. The company turned a line EV1 in 1999, referring to the fact that consumers do not satisfy the limited cruising range, which provides a vehicle battery, making the continued production unprofitable.

Many skeptics, however, believed that GM EV1 buried under the pressure of the oil companies, which have been hardest hit, if high-efficiency cars won market. GM hunt down and destroy all the EV1 to the last, taking care that the technology had died and been resurrected.





The death of the American streetcar

Net profit prosperous tram transport in 1921 amounted to $ 1 billion, that for "General Motors" was equivalent to a loss of $ 65 million blood. In retaliation, GM bought out and closed hundreds of independent tram companies, thereby contributing to the growth of the market for its devouring gasoline buses and cars. Although in recent years in cities is a growing movement to save public transport, it is unlikely we will see the return of trams to their former glory.



Modest "cub»

The car, drive 99 miles on 1 gallon of fuel consumed (corresponds to a rate of about 2, 4 liters per 100 km, approx. Mixednews.ru) is the holy grail of the automotive industry. Although this technology has been available for several years, automakers have deliberately kept her away from the US market. In 2000, "New York Times" reported on the little-known, at least for the majority, the fact Diesel "Mad stool» Volkswagen Lupo made a trip around the world with an average fuel consumption of greater than 99 miles / gallon. "Cub" was sold in Europe in 1998-2005., But car manufacturers are not allowed to market; as they claimed, the Americans have no interest in small economical cars.



Free energy

Nikola Tesla was not only a source of inspiration for groups pyshnovolosyh Metalworkers' eighties, but the genius of God. In 1899, he found a way to do without burning fossil fuel power plants and power lines, proving that use to create electrical oscillations in the ionization of the upper atmosphere, can be put at the service of "free energy." J.. P. Morgan fund research Tesla made several regretted the "purchase" when he realized that free energy for all will not bring the same benefits as, say, the presentation of the people account for each of the consumed watt. Morgan then drove another nail into the coffin of free energy, breaking up other investors to dream Tesla certainly died.



Miracle cure for cancer

In 2001, Canadian Rick Simpson discovered that a cancerous spot on his skin disappeared within a few days of application of essential oil of hemp. Since then, Simpson and others with great success healed thousands of cancer patients. Spanish researchers have confirmed that the active component of cannabis tetrahydrocannabinol killing brain tumor cells tested people and submits hopes for breast tumors, pancreas and liver. However, the Office for the Control Food and Drug Administration classifies marijuana to the list of narcotics number 1, which means there is no practice of its application in medicine, in contrast to the preparations of the list of number 2, such as cocaine and methamphetamine, which in this respect They can be useful. What's kayfolomstvo!



Vehicles on water

As it would be absurd sounds, a water fuel cars there. The most famous of these is the sand buggies Wall Meier, who has reached the mark of 100 miles on 1 gallon and could find more common, not become a Meyer 57-year-old victim of a suspicious brain aneurysm. Knowledgeable people make a resounding statement that Meyer was poisoned after he refused to sell their patents or terminate the study. Fearing a conspiracy, his partners had almost gone underground (or more correct to say - under water?) And took with him his famous sand buggies on the water. One can only hope that in the end someone will come back to the amphibious vehicle.



Hronovizor

What if you had a device that could look into the future and return to the past? What to do if you did not need the assistance of Christopher Lloyd (Actor who played the doctor of the trilogy "Back to the Future"; approx.)? Italian priest, Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti in the sixties asserted that invented what he called Hronovizorom - something that allowed him to witness the crucifixion of Christ. The device supposedly enabled the viewers to watch any event in the history of mankind through the settings on the residual vibration, which are saved as a result of any action. (His team of researchers and engineers included Enrico Fermi, who also worked on the first atomic bomb). On his deathbed, Fermi admitted that invented paintings of ancient Greece and the death of Christ, but insisted that Hronovizor who had already disappeared, still worked. Unsurprisingly, conspiracy theorists point to the Vatican as a possible owner of the original Hronovizora now.



Rife Devices

American inventor Royal Rife cured in 1934 14 "terminal" cancer patients and hundreds of cases of cancer in animals, giving its "beam of radiation" at what he called the "cancer virus." So why beam Rife not go today? Released in 1986, the book Barry and John Crane Lines "Cancer treatment that worked: Fifty years of silence," returned the case Rife from oblivion. Written in a typical conspiratorial style, the book gives the names, dates, places and events, giving the appearance of a mixture of authenticity of historical documents and speculation selectively intertwined in a web, too difficult to check if it does not carry out an army of investigators with unlimited resources. The authors argue that Rife successfully demonstrated the healing power of his instrument in 1934, but "all messages describing the method of treatment in major medical journals were censored chapter AMA (American Medical Association; approx.)." In 1953, a special investigation of the US Senate concluded that Fishbein (head of the AMA; approx.) And AMA entered into an agreement with the Office for the quality control of products and medicines in order to conceal various alternative cancer treatments that are contrary to a foregone conclusion AMA view according to which "radium, x-ray therapy and surgery are the only accepted methods of cancer treatment."



"Doilka" for cloud

In 1953, the blueberry crop in Maine threatened to drought, and some farmers have promised to pay the Reich (Wilhelm Reich - Austrian and American psychologist, put forward the idea of ​​a science not adopted the universal life energy - orgone; approx.), If he can make a rain. As reported, when Reich began the experiment at 10 am July 6, 1953, no rain is forecast the weather bureau in the next few days is not expected. July 24 newspaper Bangor Daily News wrote the following:

Dr. Reich and his three assistants have set "rain causing" device on the shores of the Great Lakes. The device, which is a set of hollow tubes, suspended over a small cylinder that is attached to them cable in the operations of "stirring up" about an hour and ten minutes. According to a credible source of Ellsworth evening of July 6 and early morning July 7, said the city took place following climatic changes: "On Monday, after 10 pm began intermittent rain at first small and then, toward midnight, quiet and smooth. The rain continued throughout the night and the next morning at Ellsworth was recorded 0, 24 inches of rain (6 mm approx.) ».

Puzzled by the witness of "call rain," he said, "Once they started, the clouds began to form. They seemed most strange of all, ever seen the clouds. " And later the same witness said that by manipulation of the device, scientists could change the direction of the wind.

Harvest of blueberries was saved, farmers announced their satisfaction, and Reich received remuneration due.



Perpetual motion

The last century marked the birth of a number of perpetual motion, producing more energy than was required for their work. Ironically, they created more problems than they cost themselves. In almost all cases allegedly working prototype could not get to the stage of production for sale due to contributions of various corporate or government forces to counter technology. Recently, on the way to the final commercial version of the same success makes "amp electricity» Lutec 1000. Will consumers buy it in the near future, or he too will block oxygen?



Cold fusion

Billions of dollars have been spent on research in the field of energy by controlled "hot fusion", which is a series of risky and unpredictable experiments. Meanwhile, the "garage" scientists and marginalized groups of university researchers matched closer to what to put at the service of power "cold fusion", which is much more stable and manageable, but receives far less support from the government and money funds. In 1989, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons announced that they had made the discovery and observed cold fusion in a glass jar in his lab bench. The fact that they obtained the reaction was cool - even an understatement. The program "60 Minutes" on CBS told how the subsequent retaliation by well-funded community supporters of the hot synthesis sent researchers into scientific underground and abroad, where for a few years, their sources of funding dried up, forcing them to abandon their studies pure energy.



Hot fusion

Cold fusion - not the only technology to be hunted testy scientific community. When two physicists working on the decade-hot fusion tokamak (toroidal chamber with magnetic coils; approx.) Los Alamos Laboratory stumbled by chance on a cheap and safe method of obtaining energy from the collision of atoms, they are said to be forced to renounce their own discoveries under threat of dismissal - laboratory scared of losing stream public money that went to the tokamak. In response, leading researchers to create a society focal synthesis, which collects private money to finance their own research outside the scope of state intervention.



Magnetofunk and Himmelkompass

Nazi scientists boìlshuyu of the Second World War held buried at a military base somewhere in the Arctic and creating Magnetofunk (radiomagnit; approx.). It existed, according to some reports, the invention has been designed to deflect the arrows of aircraft compasses allies who might be looking for item 103 - was the name of that base. Pilots of aircraft would consider that fly in a straight line, but little by little it would cost item 103 of the arc, never suspecting that they were misled. Himmelkompass (celestial compass; approx.) Allowed German navigators to focus on the situation of the sun, not the magnetic field lines, so that they could find Point 103 despite the action Magnetofunk. If you believe the former SS officer Wilhelm Langigu, these two instruments were specially protected secrets of Hitler's Germany, but the real tragedy is that no one has thought to give his team Magnetofunk.



Cigarette low hazard?

In the 1960s. tobacco company Liggett & Myers has created a product called the XA, a cigarette from which a part has been removed boìlshaya carcinogens. According to the materials of the case at the suit of the City and County of San Francisco to Phillip Morris, Inc., Director of Liggett & Myers for Science Dr. James Mold announced that Phillip Morris threatened to "roll out» L & M, if that will not adhere to accepted industry agreement on inadmissibility disclosure of information about the harmful effects of smoking to health. His advertising a "safe" alternative, it would have recognized the harm of tobacco use. The lawsuit was rejected on formal grounds, and "Phillip Morris" has never addressed the subject of charges. Contrary to published research results of its own scientists, who have demonstrated a decrease in the number of cancers in mice exposed to smoke from the XA, Liggett & Myers has released an official statement in which it rejected the proof of the emergence of cancer in humans due to the consumption of tobacco and the XA never saw the light.



TENS

Transcutaneous device (percutaneous) electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been created to alleviate pain impulses of the body without the use of drugs. In 1974, Johnson & Johnson bought StimTech, one of the first companies to sell this car, and put in the TENS unit plight, gave him money and starvation. StimTech went to court, accusing Johnson & Johnson in purposeful stifling TENS technology to ensure that sales of its flagship drug, Tylenol (active ingredient - acetaminophen, approx.). The Johnson & Johnson argued that the device, de, never confirmed the stated indicators, and that it is not profitable. Founders StimTech sued $ 170 million, although that decision was appealed and overturned on formal grounds. At the same time if a court finds that a corporation mended TENS unit for obstacles and has not been refuted.



Cartel "Phoebus»

In 1924-1939 gg. Company Phillips, General Electric and Osram, as stated in the material published six years later in the journal "Time", working in collusion with the aim of establishing control over more then fledgling production of electric bulbs. The alleged cartel set prices and crushed rival technology, through which it was possible to produce lamps, with greater efficiency and service life. By the time when the agreement ceased to act as dominant in Europe and North America source of artificial light became firmly established industry standard for incandescent lamps. Compact fluorescent lamps have begun to squeeze into the world market of lighting devices, not earlier than in the late nineties.



Coral Castle

How did Ed Leedskalnin build a massive Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida, from the giant coral boulders weighing more than 30 tonnes each, without any heavy machinery and foreign aid? Theories on this subject a lot, including the use of anti-gravity devices, magnetic resonance and alien technology, but the answer may forever remain unknown. Leedskalnin died in 1951, leaving behind no written plans or clues about their working methods. The centerpiece of the castle, now a museum open for visits are 9-tonne front gate, which once shifted a slight touch of a finger. After the eighties worn bearings gate out to fix them, a group of five people spent more than a week, although they have not managed to ensure that they worked in the same way without requiring effort, as the original masterpiece Leedskalnin .



Biofuels made from hemp

The founder of George Washington, who is rumored to words: "I can not lie," - was an ardent supporter of the hemp seed. Yeah, the only thing that is oppressed in this country more than an honest politician - is hemp, to a place identified with marijuana, and therefore has become the victim of an unjust calumny. Meanwhile, the state erected obstacles do not give hemp to become the leading crop in the production of ethanol, allowing the industry to seize this environmentally harmful sources of fuel like corn. Despite the fact that hemp requires fewer chemicals and less expensive water in the processing, it has not been spread. Experts also blame the (whom else?) Presidential candidates, in the pursuit of voices trying to please the producers of corn from Iowa.
