In 1919, a young Alfred Hubbard created a mechanism which
newspapers dubbed the "perpetual motion machine," while Hubbard himself called it an atmospheric energy generator.
To attract investors, Alfred held showboat rides. Confessing to greed,
Albard feared losing the rights to his miracle invention and actively sought to sell it for more.
In 1920, newspapermen quickly lost interest in the invention and the inventor. In 1929, having patented the "radioactive internal combustion device for the internal combustion
engine", the young genius suddenly abandoned the invention, went to jail and to his patented generators former investors have lost interest dramatically.
For some reason,
as soon as it comes to atmospheric electricity or alternative energy sources, inventors die, go to jail, or quit their life's work.
