I think that I’ve already mentioned that the (electronic) computer was invented by a Post Office engineer, at his own expense after being rejected by science. This is typical of most history changing innovative events. The transistor that is its basis today has a strange history, in that the picture of the original that has been on show for all these years is an early microwave device. The inventor never noticed - in 50 years is it?

Hi Timble2, I don’t have an opinion on that - yet.
Another view of some and dammed/rejected science and technology.

I have never given support to ‘perpetual machines’, as running with no power source is impossible. However, the phrase is applied to machines that science is not prepared to investigate and I’d need to make a list. Dale Pond has studied Keelys’ motor and says that it works.

You will see that Keely laid out an atomic physics, years before science and its frighteningly similar to the modern one.
His motors seem to have run on cavitation driven by the water-hammer effect, but that’s an opinion so don’t quote me. Both of these are well know to science, but never used for anything useful. Science seems to be opposed to anything useful.
“”If one- just one device really produced over-unity energy we could make millions of them, and produce enough energy to (say) move the Earth into interstellar space and live in the infinite dark, growing crops by artificial light powered by over-unity energy.
I submit to you that this will never happen.””

I don’t think that I’ve ever mentioned “over unity”, but its an interesting concept that’s not at odds with scientific theory.
Now if you would care to look for the reason that Teslas’ funding was withdrawn at Wardencyffe, I think you will find it was because of problems with metering and not viability? You can’t stick a meter on something that comes out of the blue, especialy if you happen to live in a third world country.
“”By July 1904, Morgan (and the other investors) finally decided they would not provide any additional financing. Morgan also encouraged other investors to avoid the project. Wiki””
Morgan funded it because he thought it was a radio transmitter, while Tesla intended to supply the world with inexpensive power. As a direct consequence of Morgans actions, Tesla went bust.
