The official "WTF" thread

My father, a mechanic, told me a story that happened, thinking 40-50s, about a guy who invented an engine that ran off of compressed air. He said one of the big auto companies or gas companies, can't remember, bought it and the rights to it, not sure if it was patented, anyway, the agreement was he was not to ever share nor make it ever again. of course they hid the plans away... sorry I was a kid when he shared this with me, didn't really understand back then what it really meant.

Excerpt:

The General Motors streetcar conspiracy refers to the convictions of General Motors (GM) and related companies that were involved in the monopolizing of the sale of buses and supplies to National City Lines (NCL) and subsidiaries, as well as to the allegations that the defendants conspired to own or control transit systems, in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. This suit created lingering suspicions that the defendants had in fact plotted to dismantle streetcar systems in many cities in the United States as an attempt to monopolize surface transportation.
