В России такая же ситуация. Я много лет работаю в теории спирального потока энергии-материи. Журналы чужих авторов таких радикальных работа не пропускают.
В 1985-м в Москве в редакции ЭЛЕКТИЧЕСТВО из-за моей статьи получил смертельный инсульт академик Евгений Лифшиц. Он вместе с академиком Ландау и коммунистом Сусловым уничтожил физически (в психушках) сотни учёных-новаторов России.
Сейчас такие академики пасутся на нашем форуме в качестве гостей и крадут интересные работы.
I am having troubling remembering the person's name, but there was a Russian inventor in the early part of the 20th Century who submitted a serious response to a challenge to build a grain elevator without using more than a single metal bolt. No one expected someone to submit a serious design. They liked his idea and built his grain elevators but they did not want him simply working on a farm and they coerced his work on scientific programs (which I suppose is better than wasting your talents on farming, as many were made to do at that time in Russia.) I had seen a YouTube video about this figure but it was a long time ago.
In any case, when there is a death which results from inventions it is typically not the work of the government but of competing inventors and business interests. In my case, the business interests are going to get their money so they don't care if the inventor makes unsubstantiated claims on the Internet. There was Stanley Meyer, but he died because he convinced Royal Dutch Shell that his fraudulent hydrolysis system worked, which would have endangered their profits. In his case, they offered money but not the amount he was looking for so they send assassins who claimed to work for NATO who gave him poisoned cranberry juice at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Virginia in 1998.
Helical light is a technology whose time has come, clearly there is appetite for this and it does not step on any toes. I worry that I am accidentally getting many of the plagiarists of my work killed because many of my ideas would absolutely cause controversy, for instance, any idea which makes oil obsolete or any idea which causes certain products to be obsolete. People are greedy and these greedy people will attract the negative attention. I am content simply to make the ideas available. To the extent that actions are taken against a few people, there will be so many people patenting my ideas in so many countries that they won't be able to kill them all. It's another good argument in favor of simply posting ideas openly instead of trying to control them. Our Department of Energy classified my fusion concepts. What they're going to do next is sell the idea quietly to an established energy concern such as Duke Energy and give them time to quietly divest from their current investments while they build up their fusion infrastructure.
For fusion you need: Odderon generation method (have it,) non-contacting plasma (easy,) high-endurance, high-efficiency photovoltaic composed of quartz at extreme pressures within diamond sleeves (concept is now being prototyped, it appears,) and an energy-efficient LED system for projecting light into the plasma, which is amplified through self-amplifying spontaneous emission and collected by the photovoltaic. Making it practical requires many components. The December 5, 2022 NIF fusion event demonstrated that odderons are the key ingredient. Inertial confinement however, is a long way from a self-sustaining reaction.
In many ways, my life would be easier in the 1950s as someone doing what I'm doing would be offered jobs left and right. Today, people take telecommunications for granted. In the 1950s, no one would create fake inventions as jokes but I am suspected of this. People were more respectful and took the time to respond to formal correspondence. If I had written a letter to a university and made suggestions concerning technology, they would have said, "Wow, that's a good idea, tell us more!" Today, the response is to be completely ignored with the E-Mails more than likely prompting the recipient to derisively state to the person sitting next to them, "Hey, we got another prank E-Mail from some guy who claims he's giving his ideas away. Wow, what a nut, he thinks that photons have magnetic properties!"
Given a couple more generations, it will literally be like the movie Idiocracy (2005) in which the crops die because they water the crops with Gatorade and the protagonist suggests that they use water instead of Gatorade, to which the woman responds, "You mean like out of a toilet?" If people from universities believe that photons have no magnetism, we're within about two generations of complete mental retardation of the entire population.
Just today I sent an E-Mail to a British company which claims it is advancements in metallurgy. I did not send them my ideas, I merely inquired as to whether my ideas would be welcomed. What they don't know is that I have a method of melting steel without using heat. I told the woman that I did not have a degree, nor did I represent a business interest. If they respond that they are interested in my ideas anyway, I might consider helping them, but at the end of the day they're in bed with the defense sector.
The trouble with my country is that it does not matter how revolutionary the idea, if the source of the idea does not have a Ph.D., they will not listen.
