IMPOSSIBLE INVENTIONS THAT WORK !!!

Yo Mamma

When Leonardo da Vinci sketched out an impossible invention, fifteenth-century scholars probably put him down. Forget it, Leon. If machines could fly, we'd know about it.

Throughout history, experts tell innovators that their inventions are impossible. A few examples:

The English Academy of Science laughed at Benjamin Franklin when he reported his discovery of the lightning rod, and the Academy refused to publish his report.

A gathering of German engineers in 1902 ridiculed Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin for claiming to invent a steerable balloon. (Later, Zeppelin airships flew commercially across the Atlantic.)

Major newspapers ignored the historic 1903 flight of the Wright brothers airplane because Scientific American suggested the flight was a hoax, and for five years officials in Washington, D.C. did not believe that the heavier-than-air machine had flown.

Perhaps in the 21st century the following inventions will be standard science, and a history student may wonder why 20th-century pundits disregarded them.

COLD FUSION

In Japan, cold fusion is called New Hydrogen Energy, and that oil-dependent nation welcomes successful experiments. In contrast, two pioneering experimenters were hounded out of North America. David Lewis described this scene as Heavy Watergate.

A successful experiment was served up in Monte Carlo in April, at the Fifth International Conference on Cold Fusion. Clean Energy Technologies Inc. of Florida demonstrated a cold fusion cell with energy output as much as ten times more than input. Other companies are also gambling on this new source of heat energy which could drive electric generators.

What exactly causes atomic nuclei to fuse, and release energy, without extreme high temperatures and pressures? A Romanian physicist writing in Infinite Energy magazine, Dr. Peter Gluck, wonders if it could be only partly a catalytic nuclear effect, and partly a catalytic quantum effect providing the capture of the zero-point energy, The ubiquitous z-p energy.

SYSTEM FOR SENDING POWER WIRELESSLY

Look, Mom Earth, no power lines!

Tesla may have wanted to voice such a boast, but it didn't turn out that way; the world is crisscrossed with transmission lines for the electrical power grid. His invention for sending electrical power wirelessly wasn't too popular on Wall Street.

Before the power brokers figured out what he was up to, Tesla built a tower-topped laboratory near what is now Colorado Springs. He filled the mountain air with thunderous manmade lightning bolts and pounded the earth with electrical oscillations as he tested ideas about electrical resonance. Then he returned to New York to build Wardenclyffe, a complex wooden tower on Long Island from which he planned to send both communications and power wirelessly. When banker J. Pierpont Morgan realized Tesla could make it possible for anyone to stick an antenna in the ground anywhere and get electrical power, the banker cut off the inventor's funding and blocked other financial deals that Tesla tried to make. Wardenclyffe tower was torn down and sold for scrap.

In recent years, scientists such as James Corum Ph.D. have learned that Tesla did successfully test a wireless system in Colorado. For example, Tesla knew specific frequencies associated with the earth-ionosphere waveguide, knowledge he could not have had in the nineteenth century unless he had sent electrical oscillations wirelessly !

The CLOUDBUSTER

In 1952 Wilhelm Reich invented a method of rainmaking that doesn't involve cloudseeding with chemicals. Cloudbusting, otherwise known as etheric weather engineering, invokes principles that are hard for the conventionally trained mind to accept. The technology is low-tech; point some hollow metal pipes at the sky and connect their lower ends into running water. But unless you know both meteorology and orgonamy, please don't try this at home, on our planet.

Among the properties of the primordial energy, orgone, Reich observed, are its absorption into water, its role in controlling weather and its dangerous state when excited by radioactivity. The planet doesn't need any more mad-scientist experimenters manipulating natural systems, but it may need a more advanced understanding of what nuclear power plant emissions do to the atmosphere. (Reich's followers warn that the planet's life-force is disturbed by the excess radioactivity.)

And last but not least,

ANTI-GRAVITY DEVICE

In 1923 Townsend T. Brown's simple flying discs demonstrated a connection between electricity and gravitation. Working along these lines for twenty-eight- more years, Brown patented (U.S. Patents 2,949,550, 3,018,394 and others) an electrostatic propulsion method. Starting with two-feet-in-diameter suspended discs flying around a pole at seventeen feet per second, he increased the size by a third, and the discs flew so fast that the results were highly classified, said an international aviation magazine in 1956. Before the end of his life Brown had apparatus that could lift itself directly when electricity was applied. He died in 1985.

The bottom line: if electrogravitics is developed, we could have an electric spacecraft technology which does not obey known electromagnetic principles. The craft would thrust in any direction, without moving engine parts. No gears, shafts, propellers or wheels.

Coupling effects between electricity or magnetism and gravity are shown by other experimenters, including David Hamel of Ontario and Floyd Sparky Sweet of California. At a 1981 symposium in Toronto, Rudolf Zinsser of Germany demonstrated a device (U.S. Patent 4,085,384) that propelled itself, according to credible witnesses such as professional engineer George Hathaway. Zinsser claimed his specifically shaped pulses of electromagnetic waves altered the local gravitational field.

Hathaway collaborated in the mid-1980s with John Hutchison on action-at-a-distance experiments in which heavy pieces of metal levitated and shot toward the ceiling when put in a complex electromagnetic field, and some metal samples shredded anomalously. Visitors to the laboratory came from Los Alamos and the Canadian department of defense. (The military is a quantum leap ahead of the academics in spooky science.)


And just imaginy what they have that we dont know about !!

i read your post and was amazed.
Is there a websites or websites where i can read more about there sort of things?

it amazes me how some people can be so ignorant and other people be so greedy, as to stop these inventions coming into the public.

emonstrated a cold fusion cell with energy output as much as ten times more than input

If energy cannot be destroyed or created then how can you have a machine that can create more energy then you put in? Did the laws of thermodynamics change recently?

experiments in which heavy pieces of metal levitated and shot toward the ceiling when put in a complex electromagnetic field

Yes when you put metal things into electromagnetic fields they tend to do that sort of thing. What has that to do with gravity? AFAIR and IANAS there has been no proven theroy of gravity and magnetism being the same?

Btw Tesla was given to sensationlism which is why so much pseudo-science exists about him. While he also was a great inventor he also claimed he made a death ray which could take out squadrons of planes from 250 miles away.

I couldn't find anything about long island tower only that it was closed down due to labour troubles, financial troubles and his backer withdrawing support. It was also only designed as a radio broadcast station.

Bob the Unlucky Octopus

Perhaps what YoMama was referring to was the basic activation energy of the fusion reaction- the remainder of the energy is stored in the nucleii of the fusion reactants. So we're not creating energy, merely releasing energy stored in intranuclear forces. Though I somehow doubt that a cold fusion experiment of reasonable scale has a 1:10 power output ratio.

As for a magnetic field being able to oppose gravitational forces, it's theoretically possible on a small scale using superconduction- but we're a long way aways from a flying car. As for space travel by this means, it won't be feasible simply because of the huge gravitational forces involved. No good in having a strong magnetorepulsive force if you hit the gravitational shadow of a large comet.

The Clown Man

Very interesting.

The idea of cold fusion amazes me. I read about a factory or something somewhere in which there was a machine (it think it heated air to v high levels or something) that was fed a certain amount of energy to heat air, turned out to be making the air too hot. They looked at it to see what was wrong with it and they could find no problem. They had a physicist look at it and he was amazed to see that there was 1.333 times the energy coming from it than going in. So he got another guy to look at it and the same. Now they're all baffled at this so they got the 'Big Boys' in to look at it. Unfortunately they didnt know what was happening either so they could not learn anything from it and ignored it!

That was it.

Just left it.

I suppose in a way the factory was happy because they were saving electricity. They just turned the thing down et voila!

Anyhow ...

What this doesnt say is that the conference was in April 1995. Furthermore, the reaction in question was never able to be recreated by others, despite following the patents.

Despite numerous claims of bringing this to commercial reality, the whole things has died a death.

CETI themselves admitted that it was not necessarily cold fusion, but possibly some other unexplained phenomena, as it used ordinary water, and not heavy water, which would be highly improbable for cold fusion.

Scientific research into these fringe areas is all well and good, but sometimes, it just plain doesnt work. Getting "Fortean Times" style articles which hold up these things as a holy grail which has been brutall suppressed is as bad as dismissing them without consideration.

A web sarech on ogone energy proves most interesting, as does one on Cold Fusion.

All I want to know is why (if ogone energy is so easy to capture, and cheap to use and all that) have we not seen someone control the weather reliably? Or is this nicely explained by the old "they destroyed all his notes" argument. The idea had merit...but if the technology is lost, and was never proven to be true, then I would be very skeptical.

I mean, after all, its highly unlikely that Fermat actually solved his last theorem.
