15 INVENTIONS and INVENTORS WHO WERE SILENCED and BURIED

Hello! This is our blog about inventions that have remained hidden or are not widely known. In this post, we will talk about interesting inventions and the people who made them. These inventions were very important in their time, but for different reasons, people have forgotten about them. Innovation is very important to move forward, and throughout history, inventors have had a significant impact on society. But not all inventions become popular. Some people are held back by external forces or unfortunate situations.

We will look at inventions that have remained hidden. These are inventions that were not widely known or recognized, even though they had the potential to bring about significant change. We will find out the stories behind these inventions and the controversies associated with them.

Our investigation will also help us to understand how invention, power, and history are connected. Inventors sometimes challenge the way things are and change industries that have been around for a long time. This can make powerful people unhappy. We will look at how these factors have influenced the development of certain inventions in the past.

The Ogle Carburetor
In the 1970s, a person named Tom Ogle, who had no formal training in mechanical engineering, said he would build a device called a carburetor that would make cars use less fuel. He created something he called the Ogle carburetor. People said that a car could go more than 100 miles on just one gallon of gas. That was much better than what normal cars could do at the time.

The Ogle carburetor made the normal carburetor and fuel pump obsolete. Instead, it used vacuum lines to draw the fuel vapor directly from the tank. This simple design made it possible to burn the fuel completely and produce fewer emissions. It also improved fuel efficiency.

Ogle's new idea looked like it could change the car industry and put the oil industry on edge. This was especially true when fuel prices rose due to the oil crisis. People, desperate for something different to help them save money, were very enthusiastic about Ogle's invention.

But the story of Tom Ogle is a sad one and has led to disagreements. Ogle declined a 125 million dollar offer to sell the rights to his patent after receiving a patent for his device and drawing attention from the media and potential investors. He wanted to share his invention with the public so that everyone could benefit from using less fuel.

Unfortunately, Ogle died at the age of 24 before his vision could become a reality. The cause of his death was unclear. Official reports said he died from too much alcohol and prescription drugs. But his friends and other people thought that someone might have done something to him because he could benefit financially.

The water-powered car
One of the most interesting inventions that has been kept hidden is the car that runs on water. It was invented by Stanley Meyer. Meyer, an inventor, said he had developed a water fuel cell that could make a car run using only water as fuel. This idea was not only groundbreaking but also good for the environment because water is abundant and cleaner than gasoline.

The water fuel cell works by splitting water into its components, hydrogen, and oxygen, through a process called electrolysis. The engine uses hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity. Only water vapor is released as waste. Meyer's invention offered a future in which we no longer need fossil fuels and cars do not release harmful emissions as they normally do.

This invention was important at a time when fuel prices were rising and people were increasingly concerned about the environment due to the burning of fossil fuels. People wanted something different that would help them spend less money and cause less pollution.

But many people disagreed with Meyer's claims and didn't believe him. Critics said his invention violated the basic rules of chemistry and physics, especially the law that states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Although Meyer appeared and spoke a lot in the media, most scientists did not believe what he said. People were unsure about Meyer's invention, and his death, which happened under strange circumstances, made them doubt even more.

The Rife Machine
An American inventor and advocate of bioelectric medicine named Royal Raymond Rife created the Rife machine. Rife said he had built a machine that could kill germs and cancer cells by shaking them at a certain frequency.

Rife's machine emitted energy at specific frequencies that matched the frequencies of the harmful germs. This killed the germs without harming the healthy cells nearby. He believed that living beings could consist of certain types of crystals. He also produced very powerful microscopes with which viruses could be seen, although the technology of the time didn't allow this.

In the 1930s, Rife claimed that his machine could cure cancer and other diseases and achieve very good results. The medical community and the public were interested in his claims. Some thought his device was a great discovery, while others thought it wasn't based on real science.

However, the medical community later proved that Rife's work wasn't valid. Critics said that there was insufficient scientific evidence and that his theories seemed unlikely based on our knowledge of physics and biology. For this reason, Rife's work declined. In the 1950s, his laboratory was destroyed in a fire, and he lost his notes and machines. He then isolated himself from society until he died in 1971.

The Tucker Automobile
Preston Tucker was a creative car designer who wanted to compete with the big three car companies by developing a revolutionary car called the Tucker 48. The Tucker 48, also known as the Tucker Torpedo, was a car that was very advanced for its time in terms of safety and mechanical features.

The Tucker 48 had a special headlight that moved when the steering wheel was turned. This allowed drivers to see better when cornering. The car also had a soft dashboard and an engine in the rear for better balance and control.

The Tucker 48 had safety features such as a special space for front passengers to go into before a collision, a windscreen that opened instead of breaking, and seat belts. These features were designed to keep people safe. These safety features were very advanced and only became standard many years later.

Although Tucker's car had a new and creative design, he had to struggle with many difficulties to sell it. The Tucker Corporation had to deal with many problems, such as money troubles, bad press, and legal disputes, which eventually led to the failure of the company. Only 51 cars were built.

Some people believe that Tucker failed because the auto industry and the government didn't want to change anything. Although Tucker was found not guilty of fraud and stock fraud, the damage was done, and his company had to file for bankruptcy.

The Tucker 48 and Preston Tucker's stories show how hard it is for people who have new ideas to stand up to big industries and government regulations. Although the Tucker 48 was only built for a short time, it is still seen as a symbol of American ingenuity and the desire to create something new in the car industry.

The Cloudbuster
Wilhelm Reich was a person who caused discord in the fields of psychology and science. He went beyond psychology and created something he called "Cloudbuster," which had to do with the atmosphere. In the 1950s, Reich developed a device that could be used to control so-called orgone energy. He believed that this energy could influence people's health and the weather. The device seemed to come straight out of a science fiction story.

The cloudbuster consisted of tubes connected by cables and placed in water. The purpose was to draw orgone energy from the air to create rain. Reich originally belonged to Sigmund Freud's group, but he took a different direction and began researching so-called orgone energy. He believed that this energy expressed a person's libido physically.

Although many scientists doubted him, Reich conducted some experiments with the Cloudbuster. He said that he was able to make it rain in places that suffered from drought. Farmers, and even some government officials, were interested in what he had to say. However, the FDA was suspicious of Reich's work with the Cloudbuster because it had doubts about his work with orgone energy.

The FDA investigated Reich's work and decided that his publications and devices related to orgone energy should be destroyed. They obtained a court order to enforce this. Reich was also sentenced to two years in prison for contempt of court. After he died in prison, his Cloudbuster and other inventions were forgotten because mainstream science didn't believe in them and thought they were just the ideas of someone pretending to be a scientist.

Cold Fusion
In 1989, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons attracted a lot of attention because they claimed to have discovered cold fusion, a nuclear reaction that takes place at room temperature. If this discovery were real, it would have completely changed our understanding of physics and the way we use energy. The sun uses traditional nuclear fusion to produce energy, but it requires very high temperatures and pressures. This makes it difficult to use for practical energy production.

Fleischmann and Pons conducted experiments at the College of Utah. They used heavy water and a palladium electrode to generate electricity. They found additional heat, which they assumed came from a nuclear process. The initial excitement didn't last long because other researchers were having difficulty achieving the same results. People had concerns about how they conducted their research and whether their results were correct.

Although most scientists did not believe in it, a small group of scientists still believed that cold fusion was possible. They felt that Fleischmann and Pons' discoveries should be examined more closely and that the criticism of their work was due to poor scientific methods rather than dishonesty.

Scientists are still studying cold fusion, but it is not widely accepted in mainstream science. Scientists are interested in the idea of cold fusion, which could provide a lot of clean energy. However, they are cautious and want to see clear evidence before they believe it is real.

The Electric Car
In the early 1900s, electric vehicles (EVs) were commonly seen on the roads. People liked them because they were quiet and produced no harmful gases. Over time, the internal combustion engine became more popular than the electric car because it could travel longer distances and refuel faster. Even though the electric car seemed like a good idea at first, there were problems and difficulties.

People who had new ideas and produced electric vehicles often had a hard time because the oil industry and car manufacturers didn't want anything to change. They wanted things to stay as they were because it benefited them. This led to sudden stops and unexplained market exits, which made people wonder about the hidden reasons behind them.

A good example of this was General Motors' EV1 at the end of the 20th century. The EV1 was seen as a great improvement on electric cars. It was only offered for lease at certain locations. But GM suddenly stopped producing cars because not enough people wanted to buy them. Also, most of the cars already on the market were taken back and disposed of, which made people very angry and suspicious.

Despite the difficulties, the electric car has become increasingly popular in recent years. This is because batteries have improved and people are more concerned about the environment. People are increasingly concerned about climate change and air pollution and see electric cars as a good alternative to gasoline cars.

The AOW Waggon
Valerian Abakovsky, a young inventor, created the AOW waggon, a waggon with a propeller that would change high-speed transportation. Abakovsky had a vision of a future in which travel times would be much shorter, using ideas from aviation to improve trains. The AOW wagon was a fast train that looked cool and was powered by an aircraft engine and a propeller. This allowed it to travel much faster than normal steam trains.

The first tests of the AOW waggon showed that Abakovsky's idea was a success. The high-speed train moved quickly on the tracks and travelled very fast through the Russian countryside. But on the way back from Tula in 1921, something very sad happened. The AOW waggon derailed, and everyone on board, including Abakovsky, died.

The accident had a major impact on the propeller-driven trains. The AOW waggon became a symbol of overconfidence and the dangers of trying to achieve too much with technology. The sad event caused people to stop exploring similar technologies for many years because they were more concerned about safety than speed.

Even though it ended too soon, the AOW car shows how smart people are and how they keep trying new things, even when it's difficult. It reminds us how important it is to be very careful and test new technologies well when developing new things for transportation.

Anti-Gravity Device
Thomas Townsend Brown was an inventor in the 20th century. He tried to create antigravity, which was very difficult to achieve. Brown conducted experiments that focused on electro gravity, which states that powerful electric fields can affect the gravitational force acting on an object. His invention, sometimes referred to as the Biefeld-Brown effect, worked with charged capacitors suspended in a vacuum. These capacitors showed a small but noticeable push towards the positive end.

Brown built a saucer-shaped thing called a gravitator. It was supposed to levitate when hit with strong electrical charges. If what Brown said was true, it would have had a big impact. It could have led to a major change in aerospace technology. There could have been vehicles that could hover and fly without wings or propellers. These vehicles would be powered only by electricity.

However, scientists had doubts about Brown's work. Critics said that the forces he had seen were only ionic winds, a well-known effect that occurs when ions move from one electrode to another and generate thrust. This effect was not strong enough to explain the force needed for anti-gravity flight.

Even though people doubted him, Brown continued his research. He often worked on it in secret, with the help of private investors and the military. But there was never any clear, universally accepted proof that an anti-gravity device actually existed. Brown's research became very famous and inspired stories about secret government plans. Even today, antigravity is a common concept in science fiction, and proponents of various methods of object propulsion often mention Brown's research.

The Coral Castle
Edward Leedskalnin was a mysterious inventor who made something he called "Coral Castle." Leedskalnin, a Latvian immigrant, built the Coral Castle himself in Florida from 1923 until he died in 1951.

The interesting thing about the Coral Castle is that Leedskalnin said he figured out the ancient secrets of the people who built it. He believed in a special code that allowed him to easily carve, move, and place the very heavy coral blocks, which weighed several tonnes each.

Leedskalnin's harmonic code was based on his knowledge of magnetism and the connections with the Earth's magnetic field. He thought that everything is made up of small magnets and that this natural magnetism can be used to do things that seem impossible.

People who visit the Coral Castle are usually very impressed by how precise and well-made the structure is. They find it even more impressive because the person who built it, Leedskalnin, was small and didn't have access to modern machinery. Some believe that the construction was done with clever techniques and basic engineering principles. But others who believe in Leedskalnin's theories think there is more to it.

The Coral Castle is a symbol of Leedskalnin's techniques and of people's continuing interest in ancient wisdom. Even though the builder of the Coral Castle passed away without passing on his techniques and knowledge, his legacy continues to fascinate people and inspire many theories and inquiries. This reminds us how important it is to be curious and to keep trying new things.

The Chronovisor
The chronovisor is a device that Father Pellegrino Ernetti, an Italian monk, is said to have invented. He said that the chronovisor can see things that happened in the past. Ernetti believed that the device worked on the idea that every action created a trace of energy that could be traced and seen with the appropriate tools. The chronovisor was a complicated device with antennas made of precious metals as well as levers, dials, and screens.

Ernetti said he had seen important things from history and famous people from the past with the chronovisor. But despite these amazing claims, there isn't enough physical evidence to show that the chronovisor actually exists. Ernetti showed a picture of Jesus being crucified to prove something, but it turned out that the picture was actually a modified version of a sculpture that people already knew.

Unsurprisingly, most scholars didn't believe Ernetti's claims and thought he had made them up. People doubt the chronovisor because there is no solid evidence. Although the concept of the chronovisor is intriguing, it's not accepted by scientists, those who believe in it, or those who don't continue to debate it.

The Harmonic Resonance Theory
In the late 1800s, John Ernst Worrell Keely attracted public attention by presenting his theory of harmonic resonance and the associated motor. Keely said he had discovered a new force, the electromagnetic force. He believed that this force could change industry by providing us with a new and endless source of energy.

Keely demonstrated a motor that seemed to run on nothing but water. If this idea were true, it would have had a huge impact on the scientific world.

Keely said that his process was to release the ether using mechanical methods that were tuned to vibrations. People at the time found this method to be interesting because they were interested in both spiritual and scientific things that they couldn't see.

Although Keely said it would work and got a lot of money, the Key Motor never became a good method of energy extraction. After his death, investigations found secret tubes that controlled air pressure and mechanical devices that made it seem like the whole thing was a big lie. People didn't believe in Keely's work and called him a fraud.

However, the story of John Keely and his Harmonic Resonance Theory still serves as a warning today about the tantalizing nature of false science and people's continued desire to explore new possibilities in energy and innovation. His story reminds us how important it's to be skeptical when trying to make scientific advances.

The Dinosphere
Dr. J.H. Purves and JS Freeman created the Dinosphere, a special way of traveling that was different and non-traditional. Their goal was to change the way people traveled individually. The dynamic stability served as inspiration for the Dinosphere's large wheel, in which the driver was located. The design of the 1930s car was futuristic and unusual, promising an exciting driving experience.

People were interested in the dinosaur because it was simple and could go really fast. It was said to be able to reach speeds of up to 30 mph thanks to its gasoline engine. The gyroscopic feature of the vehicle was supposed to keep it stable so that it could be used both on the beach and on the road. But the car had many problems keeping its balance and steering properly. It is often tipped over when turning.

Although many people protested and attracted a lot of attention, the Dinosphere did not meet with much interest from companies. The design problems and impracticality prevented it from being useful in real-life situations. Nevertheless, the Dinosphere is still known for its unique appearance and not for its usefulness in vehicle construction.

The Dinosphere's legacy reminds us of the importance of focusing on practical and functional transportation solutions.

The Quest for a Cancer Cure
The search for a cure for cancer has been a long and difficult journey. Many people have claimed to have a cure and want attention for their ideas. In the past, many people have claimed to have found a cure for cancer. They often talk about natural cures, unusual treatments, or new drugs.

Harry Hoxsey is one person who has tried to find a cure for cancer. He used an herbal remedy called Hoxsey Therapy and became famous in the 1920s. He said that his great-grandfather passed down the therapy, which involved applying an ointment topically and drinking an herbal tonic. Although Hoxsey's therapy was not scientifically proven, many patients in the United States went to his clinics. However the doctors and hospitals did not agree with his treatments, so he went to court and eventually had to close his clinics.

Gaston Naessens, a researcher from France, is another person known for trying to find a cure for cancer. In the 1960s, he developed a substance called 714X, which has caused much disagreement and debate. Naessens claimed that this substance, made from camphor, could help the immune system fight cancer. However, many scientists did not believe Naessens' claims, and he was accused of breaking the law by practicing medicine without a license.

The controversies surrounding these and other individuals who claim to have a cure for cancer show how difficult it is to find a cure for cancer. Even if certain potential cures seem promising, it is important to examine them carefully and only consider them as a valid treatment option if there is strong scientific evidence of their effectiveness.

Even though there are disagreements and battles in the courts, people are still trying to find a cure for cancer. Scientists around the world are working hard to find new discoveries and treatments that can help cancer patients get well. We are doing everything we can to defeat this terrible disease and give hope to the sick. The search for a cure is very important in the medical field.
