5 Forbidden Inventions That Were Erased from History

[Music] free energy and Tesla's Warden Cliff [Music] Tower among Nicola Tesla's most ambitious yet ultimately doomed Endeavors was the warden Cliff Tower an invention that Tesla believed could tap into the planet's natural electrical charges and combined with the energy from the ionosphere provide an almost unlimited supply of free energy in the late 19th century t was grappling with financial instability to regain his lost Prestige he envisioned a tower capable of sending and receiving Wireless transmissions and broadcasting electricity Tesla's grandio plans however face stiff competition his rival gelo Marone was making strides with his radio-based Telegraph

system to outdo Marone Tesla designed warten Cliff to be the world's first Wireless power transmitter construction began in 1901 near shorum Long Island the tower which was 187 ft tall and had an extensive network of underground metal roots reaching 300 ft into the Earth was crafted from conductive materials the tower's design featured a massive Dome weighing 55 tons Tesla's Vision was not merely confined to wireless communication he believed that by using the Earth itself to conduct electrical signals he could transmit Energy across the globe he theorized that if he injected electric current into the Earth

at the right frequency it would resonate and create standing waves that could be tapped anywhere on the the planet impressed yet cautious financier JP Morgan initially backed Tesla with $150,000 however as Tesla expanded his plans seeking to build a more powerful transmitter capable of surpassing marone's the financial demands escalated Tesla's request for additional funds met with Morgan's refusal leaving Tesla in a precarious position despite the financial strain Tesla pressed on he purchased 200 acres of land in shoram and in Warden Cliff as a hub for a Global Wireless System complete with a radio City that

would produce his patented devices Tesla kept the public and press at Bay as he continued his work in secrecy by 1902 the tower had reached its full height but progress stalled without the necessary funding Tesla's letters to Morgan pleading for more money went unanswered in 1903 newspapers reported bright flashes from the tower but no explanation was given and Warden Cliff fell silent thereafter Financial woves compounded as investor confidence waned by 1905 Tesla's alternating current patents expired cutting off a significant source of income attempts to commercialize his other inventions failed and by 1906 Warton Cliff was

abandoned by 1915 Tesla's mounting debts including a $20,000 tab at the Waldorf Historia hotel where he had secluded himself led to the Foreclosure of the Wen Cliff property the dream officially ended in 197 17 when the tower was demolished for scrap to satisfy Tesla's debts after the demolition in 1917 the swirl of conspiracies emerged painting a picture of innovation thwarted by powerful interests prominent among these was the belief that Tesla's vision of Wireless free energy posed a dire threat to establish energy Industries and influential financiers like JP Morgan who allegedly withdrew support to protect their

investments in traditional power speculations of government sabotage were also Rife suggesting that the tower and Tesla's Technologies were seen as potential National Security risks this led to deliberate Technical and financial barriers and the confiscation of his research after his death these theories cast Tesla as a Visionary stying by a concerted effort to maintain economic and Industrial control his groundbreaking work buried to preserve the status [Music] quo the water fuel cell Stanley Meer was a prolific inventor with patents in various Fields ranging from banking to heart monitoring however in 1975 amid the lingering effects of the

Middle East Oil Embargo that crippled the US economy and slashed Car Sales Meyer turned his attention to the automotive world he believed that water propulsion was the key to ending oil dependency Meyer developed a fuel cell based on the principle of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen burning the hydrogen to create energy and releasing oxygen and water residues through the exhaust result in harmless emissions Meer claimed his waterp powerered engine mounted on a conspicuous stun buggy with a water powerered car and blazed on its side could travel 180 km on Just 4 L of water

this assertion though extraordinary attracted significant attention and skepticism videos and photographs of the car surrounded by curious onlookers suggested a breakthrough but no independent verification of the engine's performance or the validity of the patent emerged in 1996 Myers's bold claims face scrutiny in an Ohio court investors who had financed the project became suspicious and petitioned the court to investigate judge appointed government investigators but meer refused to submit his car for examination the investigators concluded that Meyer's technology was neither revolutionary nor feasible labeling it trivial the court found Meer guilty of gross and egregious fraud and

ordered him to repay $25,000 to the defrauded investors this was a devastating blow for Meer whose reputation hinged on his inventive prowess Myer's troubles didn't end in the courtroom he reported receiving threats from Oil Company representatives and claimed to have been offered substantial sums to suppress his technology Myer's paranoia grew and he consistently refused to allow independent tests of his invention even under assurances that the critical components would not be tampered with in 1998 Myers's paranoia seemingly came to fruition while dining with Belgian investors he suddenly fell ill clutching his his throat running outside and

shouting they poisoned me he died shortly after with the official cause attributed to a brain aneurism due to a high blood pressure however Myer's supporters convinced of Foul Play suspected assassination aimed at silencing his revolutionary work an autopsy reported no trace of poison but theories persisted particularly among those who believed his invention threatened powerful interests in the oil industry following Meyer's death his inventions and the iconic dune buggy became subjects of further mystery Steven Meyer Stanley's brother reported that the dune buggy and Meyer's instruments were stolen from his garage a week after Stanley's death only

to be later recovered under unclear circumstances whether Meyer was a Visionary silenced by vested interests or a charlatan who fell victim to his Fabrications his story continues to capture the imagination of those who yearn for a breakthrough in the energy [Music] sector cold fusion [Music] cold fusion proposes that nuclear reactions can occur at temperatures close to room temperature should it work the implications for cheap energy generation would be revolutionary in the 1980s scientist and author Eugene Malo became captivated by Cold Fusion convinced of its viability and transformative potential in 1989 he published a book chronicling

the work of two scientists Stanley ponds and Martin fleshman at the University of Utah according to Malo Pond and fmen had achieved a greater than Unity energy output from a cold fusion experiment they had supposedly used a tabletop setup with heavy water and an electrode employing electrolysis the process of applying direct current to provoke a chemical reaction this experiment generated excess heat that mainstream science couldn't explain malo's book also detailed what he saw as a systematic suppression campaign by mainstream physicists he along with ponds and flashmen claimed that repeatable results were met with ridicu to

protect the interests and funding of established scientific Fields they believed a concerted effort was underway to bury the potential of cold fusion tragically in 2004 malo's life was cut short while clearing out his childhood home he was killed under suspicious circumstances the authorities arrested three individuals in connection with his death suggesting robbery as the motive however some supporters of malo's work speculate that it was an assassination a dark consequence of his controversial work the investigation into malo's death saw many twists over the course of a decade providing no definitive resolution and further fueling speculation ultimately

several individuals were convicted of killing Malo over an eviction dispute today cold fusion continues to exist on the edges of scientific inquiry while mainstream acceptance remains elusive a dedicated cohort of researchers persists inspired by the possibility that cold fusion could one day revolutionize energy generation the [Music] cloudbuster in the early 20th century willhelm Reich emerged as a controversial figure whose peculiar inventions and radical theories captured both Fascination and outrage reich's ideas particularly his notion of orgone energy led to a dramatic confrontation with the US Food and Drug Administration resulting in the censorship and destruction of

his work Reich coined the term orgone from the word organism positive it as a life force and Creative Energy inherent in healthy individuals reich's most notorious orgon related invention was the cloudbuster a device he claimed could manipulate clouds and induce rainfall the cloud Buster consisted of a conductive Rod implanted in a body of water connected to an array of tubes aimed at the sky Reich believed this apparatus harnessed the natural orgone in the earth drawing energy downward and compelling clouds to release rain despite the scientific Community skepticism there are several documented instances of the devices

successful though perhaps coincidental usage most notably in ending a drought plaguing blueberry farmers in Maine another of reich's contentious Creations was the orgon accumulator a cupboard likee enclosure lined with specialized materials drawing inspiration from the Faraday cage the accumulator was designed to concentrate orgon energy allowing individuals to sit inside and absorb its preted benefits Reich claimed this device could cure cancer and a host of other serious ailments by exposing users to high levels of orgon re's theories however were widely regarded as pseudo-scientific his work and the community of followers he cultivated were dismissed as quote

a cult of sex and Anarchy among his earliest and fiercest critics was the FDA which accused Reich of fraud through his orgone treatments the agency sought to Halt the sale of orgone accumulators leading to a legal battle in which Reich refused to appear in court consequently the judge ordered the destruction of all accumulators components and related documents undeterred Reich continued to develop his orgone treatments his persistence led to his eventual imprisonment when an associate was found in possession of an accumulator Reich died in his jail cell today reich's work remains largely discredited by science few

of his inventions have survived but a single cloudbuster endures preserved in a museum in Maine the Perpetual emotion holder Coral Castle located in Homestead Florida is an architectural Marvel comprising over a thousand tons of intricately quarried and shaped Limestone the site features an array of rooms furniture and sculptures all crafted from the same Coral Rock what elevates this feat from impressive to extraordinary is that it was the work of a single man Edward Leed scalon standing just 5T tall and weighing a mere 129 lb Leed scon who was also chronically ill managed to construct this

Mega othic Wonder entirely on his own supposedly using a mysterious invention that he refused to share with the world leit gan's Journey began in lvia where he was born on January 12th 1887 to a family of farmers amidst the political unrest of early 20th century Europe he immigrated to the United States in 1912 eventually settling in Florida there despite his frail Health he embarked on the Monumental task of building Coral Castle Le scan's construction methods have baffled experts he claimed to have used a device he dubbed a Perpetual emotion holder which he suggested could manipulate

specific pockets of gravity through magnetism eyewitness accounts including those from local teenagers described him moving massive blocks as if they floated lead sc's fascination with magnets began early allegedly linked to his recovery from tuberculosis through magnet therapy a detail as murky as many aspects of his life his work on Coral Castle spanned 28 years during which he quarried transported and positioned stones with a Precision that defies conventional explanation some rationalists propose that he secretly worked at night using a wooden tripod or other tools yet even modern attempts to replicate his techniques using Advanced Machinery have

struggled to match his results after relocating Coral Castle 2.5 mil from Florida City to Homestead leit Gan continued to refine and expand the site adding fortress-like walls a towering Obelisk and Celestial sculptures he opened the site to the public offering Tes for a modest fee and teasing visitors with cryptic hints about his construction methods Edward Leed gullman passed away in 1951 taking his secrets and inventions with him if revealed to be true which of these inventions would have the greatest power to change the world let me know in the comments as always thank you for
