[update]: I think I have been duped on this webpage. I think it specializes in "woo". Stuff currently known as fake news.
Imagine if someone came up with a technology that could displace considerably the use of oil. Whole countries could see the loss of billions of dollars. Or any of the multitude of industries that currently profit off oil products might lose their business. Think they might want to protect their assets from loss at about any cost? (I happen to believe the United States actually went to war with Iraq based on oil interests - not terrorism. That is how far I believe oil interests will go to protect themselves.)
Well, if you can imagine that there you are, inventing a device that might do some harm to those countries or corporations bottom lines, would you be perhaps just a little spooked? Sounds plausible to me that you could be paid a visit by "men in black".
So as I was reading some energy blogs I came across this item whereby the above concern may have played out. The link is here and titled: Ravi's Water Fuel Cell Suppressed in India . It is off a wiki style blog called Pure Energy Systems. This is about a system developed by Stanley Meyer who apparently died under mysterious food poisoning circumstances. Some say he was murdered. He apparently made some kind of car that ran on this invention. I followed some links and found some skepticism regarding this water fuel cell he developed, and some convincing rebuttals to that skepticism. So you'll have to read up and decide for yourself.
I haven't yet found a lot of outside info on this water fuel cell, but Ravi made several videos you can view here: http://peswiki.com/index.php/OS:Water_Fuel_Cell . If this technology is not a fraud and could actually work, it is heartening to know that it is in the public domain and being open sourced - a lot of people are sharing their ideas and research on it as they try to reproduce Stanley Meyer's work. Apparently Ravi was making good progress but got a visit from "the men in black" and has for now decided to lay low. Perhaps he figures his life is more important than his work.
It is easy to discard this all as a fraud and a conspiracy theory, yet the pieces are here for this to be an actual case of suppression of technology. If you follow some of the links on the above webpages I have provided, you can learn more. I'm not convinced either way and that is why I decided to blog it. The more eyes on this sort of thing, the more we may learn of it.
