Times are determined where the oil wars, uprisings, revolutions and of course, the fluctuations of world stock .
course, the issue of energy resources is fertile ground for the usual parade of "experts" who talk and talk without saying anything concrete. One of the favorite topics is usually more efficient use of petroleum, which is always painted as a matter of great scientific laboratories villages (experts, missing again, I do propaganda other experts).
But what happens when a guy solve the problem? You want to know?
Tom Ogle, a person of which probably have not ever heard was a guy who walked over the matter. And never so well used the word "excessive."
Tom Good (shown in the photos in this post) was a young man of 24 who had a couple of bright ideas about carburetors and combustion, which led him in 1977 to make changes on a Ford Galaxy car of 1970.
The road test carried found out that the performance with the new system was 100 miles per gallon (ie 160 kilometers on less than a gallon of gasoline ), running an average of 60 miles per hour (ie 96 kilometers per hour ).
patented his system and began looking for investors. That's when he seemed to be in the middle of a desert on the planet Uranus. Some people approached, but then abruptly cut off contact, always with the excuse of having received "bad references" Tom project.
The young man could see with amazement that he was spreading false information everywhere against him and your project.
Finally, someone came out of nowhere unexpected, ready to buy your idea: an envoy from the Shell .
Of course, neither good nor Tom was foolish in the Shell had gone mad: if the company bought the project was to "boxes" indefinitely. The boy said no.
What happened next and imagine what . In 1979, "persons unknown" attacks against Tom Ogle shot at outside a roadside restaurant. With barely a scratch, was lucky enough to tell.
But in 1981, appeared at the door night of girlfriend, with obvious signs of mental confusion and physical difficulties. Collapsed without uttering a word, and in the ambulance, paramedics tried to resuscitate him three times in vain.
Officially, the cause of his death was due to the lethal combination of alcohol (which I ate) with a tranquilizer (Darvon) that no one had heard of that consumed.
What happened to the patent filed by Tom? Nobody knows for sure. It is located in the records.
sales rights to sell the invention came in 1978 to a firm in the city of Seattle (USA), which was suddenly entangled with tax problems with the federal government, which never came.
Things that happen (and still going).
