However, fusion, ZPE, antigrav, all of these technologies that are being discussed, are so far out of our technological reach - provided efficient harnessing of these sources is possible at all - that the suggestion that they are being held back for any reason is ludicris at best.
I don´t know the reason why, but it is a fact that they are sitting on this. The documentary i saw showed the story of a guy who had developed a working zero point energy engine, and had gathered a bunch of signatures from several well knowned scientists atesting to the working order of the device, and yet the patent office denied him his patent. And everybody knows that to get real funds and real work done, you need a patent.
The guys at the patent office excused themselfs saying that you can´t get something out of nothing, and that such devices are only sci-fi gimmics.
There was another guy who had a lantern powered by backyard rocks. He crushed a few pebbles he had found in a gravle road, crushed them, and using the energy (that he theorizes that surrounds all things, living or otherwise), he powered a small pen light.
Another had an engine that turned a big 3 feet high propeller, using a spent 9volt battery. He was drawing over 1000 volts of power out of that 9volt battery, and he said the engine would run for years before needing a new battery. Basically the battery works as a starter engine, and then the engine "feeds" itself. That´s tremendous!! It means you could have an electric car that needs no huge batteries and doesn´t need recharges every hundred miles.
