Free Energy, Perpetual Motion Machines and the Holy Grail

Last night I completed reading the DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, what a great read. If you haven't read it yet it is worth the time to read it. What does this have to do with alternative energy you may ask?

The search for free energy, perpetual motion machines and the Holy Grail are things that the learned people from around the world have sought after for countless centuries.

Tesla, Moray, Hendershot and Hubbard all were developing alternative energy devices in the early 1900's. Even though there were many people that witnessed these devices working and most of the devices were well documented we the public have never seen them nearly 100 years later. There are many questions that we should be asking:

Why did these devices not get passed on the the public?
Who suppressed these inventions, the church, big business, oil companies, the list goes on and on?

No I am not saying that there was some big dark conspiracy that suppressed these inventions but the facts do lean towards these inventions being suppressed in one way or another.

Most of us older people were taught in school that scientists from the past discovered the principals of how things work and these laws can not be broken. As the years go by every now and then the next generation of scientists discover something new that previous generations of scientists were not aware of with their older technologies.

What would have been the results of one or even all of these inventions being manufactured? Would there have been thousands of jobs lost or would the jobs be different?

As technology changes so do the jobs, a good example of this is the blacksmith was common around the turn of the 1900's but when the automobile replaced the horse for transportation a new profession the auto mechanic replaced the blacksmith to a great extent.

Today robotics are replacing humans on the assembly lines. This does not mean that humans are no longer needed on the assembly lines it just means that their jobs are going to be different. Years ago when computers first started becoming common place in the business world and talk was all about the paperless office, well if anyone was working in the business world at the time or even today there is more paper used today than before computers came into existence.

Today our inventors are not immune to the pressures that the narrow minded world can impose on them. I personally do not think that we as the human race, big business or who ever that is in control has advanced all that far in the past 100 years to not try to suppress new technology until it suites their own personal agenda.

It is harder today to suppress technology with the advent of the internet, but it is not impossible. Every few weeks you hear about an invention that is going to change the world and then nothing, what happens to all these inventions?

I have asked a lot of questions today, you my faithful readers from what ever country you live in may have different questions that you should ask yourself.

Until next time continue investigating and inventing only you can change the world.
