Almost 2 years ago I reported on an incredible scientific advancement that should change the entire world. See here : http://commonsenseandcircumstance.blogspot.com/2011/04/cheap-clean-energy-is-here.html
At that time, they said these easily affordable "furnaces" could be in production within 1 year. A search I just conducted returned only the original M.I.T. press releases and so on. The original patent was bought by Tata Group, an Indian multi-national conglomerate. Not one single piece of new news in 2 years.
Reminds me of two similar reports from years ago. First, and this I'm pretty sure it was Paul Harvey's radio show where I heard about this, was about an engineer from Denver who invented a frictionless bearing. On the surface, that might not sound like such a big deal, until you really start to think about it. No internal friction in wheel bearings, electrical motor bearings, transmission bearings, differential bearings, and on and on. A huge energy saver. Not another word about it in 15 years?
Second was a guy who invented the proverbial "perpetual energy" machine. A device (engine, motor, whatever you want to call it) that produced more energy than it consumed. His claims were quite controversial in the scientific community, so he put on a demonstration for teams from Stanford, M.I.T., and other prominent engineering schools. While those academics never came out and said that his device worked as advertised, they never said it didn't either. What they said was, they were baffled. So what happened to it?
Don't you just have to wonder who owns those patents now? The artificial leaf is the real kicker, holding the potential to reduce the world's dependence on fossil fuels by 30, 40, maybe 50%. So is it going to disappear down the rabbit hole too? Seeing as how our current administration thinks the price of gas and oil here should be comparable to Europe, ($6 per gallon plus) to reduce oil usage and would just love to further choke the American economy with carbon credits, why aren't they investigating these disappearances? Hmmm, how much did the energy sector donate to candidates over the last few election cycles?
