Stuff They Don't Want You to Know - Suppressed Technology

Transcript

from UFOs to Ghost and psychic powers history is riddled with unexplained events you can turn back now and learn the stuff they don't want you to know here are the facts during 2010 the United States consumed 6 99 billion barrels of oil over the course of 2011 the Energy Information Administration estimates the average US household will spend about $3,235 on gasoline the three largest publicly traded oil companies cleared 58.3 billion in profits in 2010 the world runs on fossil fuels and oil is a booming business but for how long oil is a dwindling resource and political instability around around the world translates to unpredictable Cuts in Supply World governments autom manufacturers and inventors continuously search for new technology that will break our addiction to oil oil companies are doing their part too by investing in new methods of recovering conventional Fuel and new ways of making alternative energy at least that's the idea but according to some conspiracy theorists oil companies have an entirely different agenda one they're willing to kill to protect here's where it gets crazy crazy Tom Ogle claimed he was only 19 when he began making radical improvements in the conventional combustion engine The Vapor fuel system this system did away with the car's carburetor system entirely instead using water to vaporize Fuel and he claimed drastically increased the amount of energy derived from gas resulting in fuel efficiency of up to 100 m per gallon the newspapers of the time flocked to hear his story and in 1978 he famously took a car full of scientists on a ride from El Paso to Los Cruses with two gallons of gas in the tank of his souped up 1970 Ford Galaxy they returned with gas still in the tank in interviews Tom Ogle appeared confident and self assured he patented his invention and had the vehicle investigated twice by experts Frank Haynes Jr and Richard Hearn but things started to go wrong and very quickly the first hint came when the patent office notified Tom that a very similar patent to his device already existed General Motors had this patent and more but they weren't bringing them to Market instead of making billions off his invention Tom Ogle found himself beset by numerous lawsuits as well as pressure from alleged representatives of Shell Oil and he wasn't the only inventor who claimed an oil company had pressured him out of success Frank Reed an inventor from Fort Worth claimed that he went through numerous Court battles with oil firms and that they tried to buy his invention with the understanding that he would never build another after the death of his business partner Tom closed the doors of his shop and fell into gambling he died at the age of 26 and the coroners ruled his death as suicide his Vapor fuel system once an issue of national news slipped through the cracks of history and now exist as an odity and nothing more than a conspiracy theory according to Skeptics that's where it should remain today mainstream science largely dismisses the claims ogul and his supporters made the second law of Thermodynamics makes Ole's claims highly unlikely and there's another elephant in the room if the system really works and the patent is public then why aren't more people building their own in the 2008 documentary gashole a retired mechanic named Ernie Pierce recalls how he built a similar device and was intimidated by thugs he claims were from the oil companies he abandoned the project at the present day Ogle's invention remains controversial is it an overblown largely useless Contraption based on pseudo science or did ogal figure out something startling and new about the combustion engine something the oil companies don't want you to [Music] [Applause] know
