Missing Technology


"While traveling I've met some talented people, who can vanish in thin air. Its a terrifying ability because they can appear... from anywhere.

This post originally started about gaming. I planned on reviewing the Ratchet and Clank series. A few days ago I finished the version for the PS4 (PlayStation) console and felt like it's worth a review. The first time I played Ratchet and Clank was in 2002 on the PS2. It's a platform game mixed with third person shooter elements. There are also mini games inside the story which add another layer to the gaming experience. I have to talk about the details and nuances that allow Ratchet and Clank to be revamped for every PlayStation system another time. 


The post got derailed when I saw an update about an inventor I wrote about in a past blog.
Maxwell Chikumbutso, the self taught African inventor who created the first RF (Radio Frequency) television. What seemed like a million dollar invention that was going to benefit mankind, turned into a living nightmare. After media coverage of his invention Maxwell began receiving death threats. It wasn't to long after that he received financial threats. Finally he was poisoned. This is the third attempt on his life. He's currently in the hospital and his condition is quite serious. The RF television was just one of many green energy inventions Maxwell and his company Saith Technologies were developing. His inventions threaten to disrupt the strangle hold on power that the titans of industry have had for ages. These conglomerates control the gas, oil, electric and solar energy sectors that we rely on every day. The RF television would provide consumers independence from relying on fossil fuel energy. It changes the status quo. It is an understatement to say Maxwell made a lot of powerful enemies. Disruptive technologies that threaten the power balance have to be snuffed out before the public starts paying attention. 

There's an unsavory pattern that's followed whenever someone presents inventions that could change the world. First, they try to buy it, confiscate it, or sabotage it. If that doesn't work, they begin attacking the invention itself. Usually to find some way of making it seem unsafe to society or functioning improperly. If that fails, they attack the inventors credibility and financial background. If the aforementioned methods aren't effective, the titans of industry utilize more diabolical measures. They assassinate the inventor. Then confiscate his research. That always solves the problem. If you're thinking this is a conspiracy theory or baseless conjecture with nothing to substantiate my words. You would be wrong. There are many examples of green energy inventors who have died under very questionable circumstances. There are even more green energy inventions that have disappeared. But I'll only talk about one. Similar to Maxwell Chikumbutsos' RF television this invention was so innovative, it could've truly changed the planet.


I'm sure you're thinking about Nicola Tesla. The genius who tried to provide the world free energy with his Wardeclyffe Tower. Although he is a good example...I'm not talking about him. Have u ever heard about the car that ran on water? Not many people have. The first time I heard about this missing technology was from the news in the 1990's. A garage inventor named Stanley Meyer created a "water fuel cell" that allowed the vehicle to operate on water. He successfully tested his invention many times and created videos with demonstrations. Before his untimely death in 1998 which everyone associated with the case said was due to poisoning (sound like a coincidence), Stanley was in talks with a major automotive company to produce a test model vehicle for manufacturing. The Pentagon and alphabet agencies like the CIA, FBI, and NSA, only show interest in inventions when the tech already works.


Just think about cars that ran on the most abundant resource on the globe. There's way more water than landmass. That invention would've ended fossil fuel dependency, reduced pollution and traffic, making the world a better place. It conjures images of a utopian society with cities powered by green energy. Where they focused on spiritual and technological advancements instead of warfare. Regardless of the disinformation published on Wikipedia about water fueled cars, they do not break the laws of thermodynamics. The person who wrote that should be banned for stupidity and rejected from editing any future wiki articles. The first water car was invented in 1935. Since then, the invention has been successfully recreated by numerous inventors only to end in ruination. To claim all these brilliant creators, inventors, engineers, and mechanics are frauds is preposterous. The question was never, could a water fueled car be made. The question has always been. Which company can successfully bring a production model of a water car to the consumer market?


Don't be one of the sheeple believing cars can't run on water.
Wikipedia is written by the public so articles u read there aren't always fact. Do your own research. That's where the truth is hidden. The RF television, water fueled car, and Wardeclyffe Tower are just a few from thousands of missing technologies that could radically alter the planet. Maxwell Chikumbutso is another victim of an oppressive regime that keeps us dependent on energy sources that further pollute the earth. Rather than allow free energy and technological innovations be created that would improve everyone's life. To me this isn't about money its about control. My heart goes out to him and all the unknown backyard inventors whose creations have been stolen or lost to the sands of time. Hopefully Maxwell survives his ordeal and continues fighting to bring green energy technologies to the world. 


If u think cars running on water sounds crazy. What about flying cars? Yes. You read that correctly..."flying cars." The flying car dream has been around for decades. The first time I saw it was in the cartoon The Jetson's. We've had the technology to create personal flying machines since the 1980's. There have been numerous inventors of flying cars over the years yet we're still driving on the pavement. Why? There are more UFO reports submitted every year. Plus with cell phone camera's people can show evidence of their experience. All these sightings happen while we're on the ground. If people were using skyways traveling through the air in high numbers. The amount of UFO sightings and video footage would increase exponentially. It becomes difficult for governments to say there's nothing unusual in the sky. When you're chasing it in a flying car while trying to get a picture for Instagram. Flying cars would make a UFO cover-up impossible. So no flying cars.  

I'm not talking about wormhole technology, time machines, or some impossible science. We're talking about flying cars and cars that run on water. Difficult perhaps, but not impossible. Just so we're clear. In my opinion there is no impossible science. You only have to find the right mind (or group) and apply them to the problem to achieve a solution. This is missing technology that has already been invented but never implemented. By discussing the subject it spreads awareness about these inventions. Which will hopefully increase the survival rate of their inventors. And help these life improving creations finally be released to the public.

Holo-Tech



There is a quote by someone I can't remember that says. "If civilization was confronted with a technology so advanced that it baffled our imagination. That technology would be perceived as magic." To some people who have viewed Microsoft's new product HoloLens...magic is here.

HoloLens is a pair of goggles containing a Windows 10 operating system that generates holographic projections (in midair or on a surface) that can be manipulated by the user. This Holo-Tech (Holographic Technology) produces an interactive form of augmenting reality that's user friendly. It uses sensors, a high-definition 3D optical display, and spatial sound to allow users to manipulate augmented reality through gaze, voice, and hand gestures. 


The concept behind HoloLens was to take all the tasks done behind a computer screen and bring them off the screen. Blending the digital world with the real world where the users can interact with their projects in augmented reality. Who is this technology made for? Everyone. The diversity of how HoloLens can be is applied to everyday life depends on the user. Engineers, architects, designers, jewelry makers, and visual artists can make 3D scale models of their projects.


There's a similar gaming product about to hit the market this year named Oculus Rift which also offers augmented reality. The major difference between the two is, Oculus Rift was designed primary for gaming, while HoloLens was developed to be more project oriented and used in everyday life. HoloLens will be available this year. It's release will coincide with the launch of the new Window's 10 operating system.

Below I posted a video displaying HoloLens in action. It's the demo for the new product and shows how science fiction can be made real.

Controller Free Gaming


Have you ever imagined using your hands to control the character in your favorite game? Or moving a few fingers and turning down the television from across the room... like magic? Well now you can.

The good people at Thalmic Labs have created the "wearable gesture control device". Its a band that's worn on the forearm which allow the user to manually control electronics, such as video games, radios, RC vehicles, televisions and more with hand gestures.

When you see the demo video below its going to show the versatility of the device. By flexing muscles in the forearm, wrist and fingers users are given manual control over electronics in every type of environment including the snow. This is the tech of the future available now. Check it out.

The Complete God of War series




I’ve been a fan of G.O.W. since part one was released on the PS2 console. The story is about Krato’s a Spartan warrior who is forced to do the bidding of the Olympian Gods to gain his freedom.  The play is third person meaning you control a character as he moves through the game. There are 5 titles in total G.O.W. 1-3 then Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta.

All of the games have ancient Greece as the backdrop for the action mixing original plots with Greek mythology. The creators did an extraordinary job on detail. As an avid gamer I found the control and weapons variety easy to use with a wide selection of weapons to choose from. On each game title the weapons and some of the beasts change so it stays entertaining. 

G.O.W– 1-3 chronicles the ascension of Krato’s from an obedient although reluctant man into a vengeful Demigod. He kills Ares the original God of war, usurps his position and power then goes on a quest to free himself from servitude. During his trials Krato’s learns that the Gods fear the return of the Titans who they have kept bound in chains since their defeat.  He completes all the tasks requested by the gods but they re-neg on there promise to set him free. Krato’s goes on a rampage killing Titans and Gods alike. His wrath takes him all the way to Mount Olympus to battle Zeus himself. 



G.O.W.– Chains of Olympus is a prequel to the series. Originally it was only for Sony PSP but they remastered the game and released it for the PS3. It was the least engaging out of all 5 titles because it lacked in diversity. Most of the creatures repeat through the levels and there was a lack of mini games (miniature games inside the game) which made the other titles so appealing. The plot-line is that the Dream God Morpheus causes all the Gods sleep while Helios the sun God is kidnapped. With the sun gone Morpheus, Persephone and the Titan Atlas, try to destroy the world while the other Gods are sleeping. 



G.O.W.- Ghosts of Sparta is the final title in the series. This is a great title for G.O.W fans because it explores the origins of Kratos. The plot follows Kratos as he finds his mother, Callisto in the undersea city of Atlantis who tells him his brother Deimos, is imprisoned in the Domain of Death. Kratos has to save his brother and fight the God of Death, Thanatos for his freedom. The scenes are superb, the weapons and treasures are on par with the first God of war and the overall game play is excellent.

I think G.O.W is one of the best PS series to hit the market and a must have for any serious gamer who is a fan of third person action.

Gamer's Playground


I don’t play video games as much as I used to but when I do play I do it BIG. I like action games that are fast paced with a good storyline and excellent graphics. Games like God of War, Devil May Cry, Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and GTA (Grand Theft Auto) are examples of my style of gaming.

I’m a PlayStation loyalist only cuz I never brought an Xbox and I stopped buying Nintendo after the 64 bit. I'll admit I've seen some games for the game cube that look interesting but I still won't buy it. On my last adventure to the gamer's playground aka the toy store, where all games and titles are tested, rated, reviewed and criticized. I was fortunate enough to play a few titles for the PS2 and PS3 systems that I think are dope.

Below are games Bioshock 2 (part 3 is on the way), Call of Duty series (some are for PS2 but recent additions like Black OPS are only for the PS3 console), Final Fantasy 7 (the whole series is dope) and Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi. If you like the show, you will love getting to play the characters. Check 'em out.

Cool Toyz


Get ready to lose yourself in videogames—literally.  In May, the Excalibur Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas installed the first public Virtusphere, a human-sized hamster ball that lets you move through virtual worlds by walking, running, or crawling inside it.  Until now, the sphere has been used primarily for military and police training.  Now, wearing a virtual-reality visor, anyone inside can play a first-person-shooter game, tour historic Russian architecture or do any number of leisure activities.



The 10-foot sphere is made of the same plastic as Legos, and its curvature helps to cushion players if they fall.  The ball spins on a platform fitted with 45 caster-mounted wheels.   Beneath, an optical sensor tracks motion the same way a computer mouse does, watching for relative movement across x and y axes.  To make the experience truly immersive, the player is fitted with a head-mounted display with two internal LCD screens.  A laptop wirelessly collects the data from the sensor and the gyroscopes, magnetometers and accelerometers on the headset to create the image the player sees.  Below is a video showing how the system works and for more info on Virtual Ventures go to  360virtualventures.com
