There are several master inventions that arise in the development of a civilization that enable direct access and implementation with full authentication with no interference from the usual suspects of dominance and control. Think along the lines of the Dark City as protagonist takes over the tuning mechanism of the city. But instead of a city it is planet or solar system wide. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 75373018 United States 08/17/2017 09:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Education peaked in 1970 in the U.S. and has been on general decline ever since. Blacks then fueled lower levels of learning (no I.Q. tests) and continue to do so. Nicola Tesla had so much to offer but people stealing from him basically cut us out to his future inventions. Obama era education standards guarantee lower levels of student learning for years to come. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72556752 Tesla mainly worked on his own with his own original ideas. Maybe a Tesla brain only occurs once every century or less. Read the historical novel "Tesla" by Tad Wise. Tesla invented many of the products and ideas that others ended up getting credit for. This. Tesla was EXTREMELY unique and the more time that passes without another Tesla, the more this becomes obvious. Or, Ops original point is true and there is no better way to create power. You would think that someone would have found it by now if there was. Hundreds of Billions of dollars have been spent on R/D by governments and companies all around the world and yet they cannot improve on Tesla power. There may not be anything better to discover?? |

Allowed laser photon regeneration and allowed current worldwide fiber optic network, using one EDFA per 100 Km up to 1000 Km. - Ultra high speed at Internet by using Hardware instead of software for IP switching at routers. 100's of Terabits/sec - Fractal antennae, embedded at every mobile phone, wich allow wideband reception and transmission far from the head! - Home banking, e-commerce, social media (a shame, but still). - Positron emission tomography (PET), to search full body for diseases. - Molecular composite materials, allowing different coatings being used at clothes, construction, aluminum, painting, airplanes, seats,..... - Replacement of aluminum by cooper at the junction between chips and external leads, wich allowed the creation of Gigaherts CPUs (from P4, thanks to IBM). - DirecTV and equivalent, with Galaxy V class satellites and 25" antenna. This one has to be credited 100% to Hughes. - Flat screens: Several technologies. - Ion-Lithium batteries. There are a lot of things, not visible by people, under the hood. Exactly. Just incremental improvements of older technologies. I can't understand how come a twisted and retarded mind feels entitled to be hypocritical, posing as someone who has an IQ above average. The title clearly says "new inventions and ideas", so I wrote exactly about that. Don't dare to use my own words for another meaning, POS!

Research a "star in a jar" experiment. It solved all of earth's energy needs and our space exploration ones as well. Based on a humble pistol shrimp, AND WAS DEMONSTRATED BY KEELEY. Keelys Secret. That was 1800's prior to Telsa. Look up the Mercedes Benz grown from a seed. Then comprehend how huge ufo/space stations that often are by the sun but bigger than planets seem to exist. Imagine, growing crystals, sort gmo, on a vine into a huge vessels and they can continue to grow in space. That mercedez seems to be a gift from somewhere. There are countless scientists/inventors who bit the dust or were discredited or bought off. We should have had beamships in our backyards since at least the 40's and even in Africa with unlimited clean energy, and no homeless or slavery anywhere, land for all. They stole the upgrade! Now they want to depopulate so they can keep power over everything. We've been kept in a 40's style fossil fuel bubble with a few computer perks thrown our way to keep us distracted.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73095897 Australia 08/19/2017 03:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There's plenty of good, new ideas, OP. But commercialising them has been skewed so that the multinationals are the only avenue to sell to market. Just patenting something is so fucking hard nowadays, and making it a world wide patent is expensive too. I currently have (3) patents and numerous design registrations, and have done OK, but not enough for me to stop working or anything like that. I have some really cool ideas and protos that I'd love to get to market, but my only realistic options are to mount a smash and grab approach, and have everything ready, including a marketing plan, and distribution ready to roll in one big het and make my money there, whilst all the me too's then copy it and do their thing. I might get lucky and be able to sell it, lock stock to someone else. But there are some subtleties to what you're asking. Some ideas are purely to make money off, and you cant begrudge anyone for wanting to do that. Some ideas are ground breaking, and in the best interests of mankind, but even if you release a working prototype, and state categorically that you are giving this idea to the world for free, it will likely be buried, as it may impinge upon vested interests, and their returns on current investments. Cheaper to bury, than to compete. Ask Preston Tucker. (or at least watch the movie! LOL) It's a powerful 'machine' to go up against. And many of us learn the hard way, by being blinded by the idea, and excited at seeing an idea come to life, then realising just how much work and MONEY will be required to protect it, and bring it to fruition. I worked with Marty and Marc on the first Tesla roadsters, and trust me, the excitement diminished really quickly once everyone realised what 'investment' actually spelled out for everyone concerned. Marty and Marc who? Exactly. My focus is on leaving Sydney, which is just an expensive shit hole nowadays. But when I have, and can set up a decent workshop, I have some really cool ideas I'd like to either commercialise, or low volume push into the market quietly. |

The 60's were definitely a period where if we put our minds to it, we achieved it. And I bunch everyone together in that, US, Ruskies, Commonwealth nations etc. But nations no longer have the will, or the money to fund how high they can piss up a wall to make the other nation look small. There's an often mentioned quote from Don Petit, who says "we dont have the technology to go back to the moon". Its often misconstrewed. Petit is talking 'engineer'. NASA and its subcontractors have moved on, in all respects, and sending something or someone to the moon isnt possible. The dedicated science, engineering and production for it no longer exists. It's geared to what they are funded for and trying to achieve now. That the Mars programs are being pushed further and further back is not a conspiracy, it's just funding and political will to commit to the propgrams. It isnt there. If you rang Ford and asked them for a new 1960 car, they just arent in a position to make one, they've moved on and have committed to new technology and new ways of making things. Same would apply to asking GE for a new 50 y/o refrigerator. It would not be possible, without a huge amount of money and political will. But I'm digressing from the OP's original question. The new ideas are there. Just not able to be so readily placed into the market, as anything that effects the status quo (read control and money making ability) will not be easily accepted. Tesla Motors is becoming successful because of a shit tonne of money invested outside the normal channels. But, the board is diversifying like crazy to protect themselves from the Fed Govt' injection of moneys to that specific venture. |
