http://www.worldviewopinion.com/blog/_archives/2008/7/19/3800414.html< Let's begin the story, in 2002, as Peter Sumaruck walked into Fort Hood Army base, Texas; he had credibility with the military because he had been a Navy Seal in the 70's and 80's; and he had his prototype with him. He showed them a small motor using a minute amount of gasoline, would give ignition to a generator producing thousands times the initial input - Input = .o19 milliamps of energy. Output = 150 amps, thus disproving the Law of Thermodynamics.
Colonels, then generals were thrilled to elation - everyone could visualize applications for the war effort. They wanted to use Sumaruck's invention to power the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq - power for all facilities from tents to barracks, to food services, to medical outfits, any and everything other than weapons and vehicles - in these beginning days years, Sumaruck had not yet developed an application for vehicles.
edit to add this:
< By 2004, after a 6 month delay for parts, this new electric generator - tested tried and true was ready for mass production. Without warning, Hauke and Martin called Sumaruck and his attorney into their office. An order came down that the project had been cancelled by U.S. Congressman Michael "Chet" Edwards, Democrat, 17the district, and Texas State Senator Kip Averitt, Republican, 22nd district, both from Waco, Texas. The Congressman and the State Senator claimed that the Army could not be trusted with this kind of technology. Soldiers would try to figure out how the technology works; they would be distracted from battle; they'd want to quit the army, go home and make their own gen-sets. "We can't lose control of our people." They opted for a conventional war, one they could control.
