Inventors of cars that dont run on oil being killed, disappearing, having their inventions sabotaged or prison

Question

im writing an essay and part of it is about investors in oil making sure their money is safe and ive linked that into many inventors of cars that dont run on oil being killed, disappearing, having their inventions sabotaged, ending up in prison or being paid to keep quiet and abandon their plans.

i know their are cases but im having a lot of trouble finding information on them. i found a bit on stan meyers but not much at all.

i dont care if you dont think that these things are happening because im not changing my essay and you wont be helping me.

it would be really great if anyone could give me some information or links on such cases. not so much all about their inventions but maybe what they invented in a few words and then their fate in more detail.

if you could help me i would be so gratefull.

thanks xx

Answer 1

Stan Meyers “invention” was patented and you can look it up if you wish,  I believe the patent has expired and you are free to use it. So as far as Stan Meyers goes they didn’t do that great of the job, his patent is open and free. That means you could build and sell them if you wish.

Here’s a link to view the plan and to build the device if you wish

http://waterpoweredcar.com/stan.html

He was found guilty of fraud and died of a cerebral aneurysms, he suffered from high blood pressure one of the causes of cerebral aneurysms.

Over and over again I’ve heard of the 100 MPG carbartator, Tim Ogle  patent number 4177779

http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parse...

Again the patent is open to the public, infact there is a guy with a CD FULL of 100+ MPG carbartators and will happly sell it to you. No I don’t have the link anymore if you really want it post and edit and I’ll look it up for you..

So if big oil is really trying to supress the 100 MPG car they aren’t doing a very good job of it, the patents are avalable and in many cases you can get them for free. I don’t see them stopping the mini cooper D, 50 city 60 highway, and hopefully in the US soon or the Toyota Prius nor have they stopped shipping oil to Brazil who is trying to become oil free.

Like you said your mind is made up already so don’t let the facts stand in the way.

Answer 2

Do like they did with the Tesla, go public right away and build it in a foreign county so the US can't do what it does best...stifle innovation and competition.

Answer 3

These stories make great fiction but the reason you can't find any info about them is that either they didn't happen or the trail was too well-hidden. Anyone writing about it would also be a target (if you believe in conspiracy theories). TBS even made a movie about this, called The Water Engine, but it is fictional.

It's not impossible that something like this has happened, given human history it's actually probable, but you won't find hard evidence about it or someone would have gone to prison and it would have made headlines.

They say similar things about Nicola Tesla, after his death his papers were seized by the government and are still being suppressed. He had many interesting theories and was one of the great minds of the last century, but I don't see any benefit in not producing something from this type of invention. If you could make a few extra billion dollars a year, wouldn't you do it, even if it made other oil companies mad?
