Many think that progress can be accomplished only with government help and intervention, huge corporations, or a major university (at one time this was true). Both of these thoughts are false. These organizations actually impede and block real ingenuity and ideas: Governments: over regulation (usually state or local government), fees, and endless “permits“ Corporations: the chain of command and meddlesome boards of directors Universities: politics, turf battles and strings attached grants . Also, the issue of “liability” with the inevitable threats of lawsuits and the requirement of team of lawyers on board just to build a new mousetrap is also an impediment to invention and creativity. An example of what can be done through ingenuity and thinking outside the box is the revolutionary and promising Johnson motor/generator (or HoJo motor): a device that produces more energy than it consumes through the use of permanent magnets.. It has been patented and already in use by some home owners who are saving 75% on their electrical bills. Blueprints are available on line. Plans are now in the works to adapt and develop a prototype for cars. This is clean, cheap energy. Think of how you can push one magnet with another. Now think of a circle of magnets with a rotor inside. Now this is real progress, but you won’t see it on the news.
