There are two kinds of free energy inventors:
1. Delusional folks who sincerely believe in what they do, and rationalize failure as a conspiracy. 2. Outright frauds.

Conspiracy theories and the 100 mpg miracle carburetor
Its origins are as strange as the story itself. Between 1928 and 1935, Charles Nelson Pogue, an inventor from Canada, applied for numerous patents for what he claimed was a new type of carburetor that supposedly completely vaporized gasoline before introducing it to the cylinders, thereby extracting a great deal more energy from the fuel. According to the Pogue patent description, fuel was introduced into the engine in this vaporous “dry” state rather than in the normal droplet-laden “wet” state, thus combining more readily with air, making it burn with far greater efficiency. Better combustion combined with the raising of the engine’s operating temperature from 160°F to 180°F were said to be responsible for vastly improved fuel economy.
So much for the techno-talk. The Pogue carburetor was touted as getting 200+ miles to the gallon. Glowing reports about this miracle of ingenuity’s making a 1,879 mile trip on 14.5 gallons appeared in the May 1936 issue of Canadian Automotive Trade magazine, reports which Pogue later denied. A manager of a Winnipeg auto dealership claimed he had driven a Pogue-equipped car 217 miles on a gallon of gasoline. A different dealer principal claimed to have driven 26 miles on a pint of fuel.
In 1977, Tom Ogle who created a device replacing the carburetor and allowed his 4,000 pound gas guzzler to get 100 miles per gallon. He should have gone on to change history and become one of the world’s richest men. He was young, confident and feared nothing. But he was wrong – dead wrong. Five years later Tom, at age 26, was in his grave and his invention, buried.

Miracle “fuel vaporization” that's somehow supposed to extract much more energy out of the fuel
In the 1970s, a man named Tom Ogle developed a new type of carburetor that pressurized gasoline into a vapor and injected it into the firing chambers. After installing it in his Ford Galaxie, the car was measured to get 113 miles per gallon. But after some licensing setbacks, Ogle died in 1981 and took the design of his carburetor to the grave with him.
Seventy years ago Canadian, Charles Nelson Pogue made headlines long before Tom Ogle, when he drove a 1932 Ford, 200 miles on a single gallon of gas. Reportedly he proved his invention in a test for The Ford Motor Company in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Paul Pantone - Genius inventor, scammed by government. (self.skeptic) https://www.reddit.com/r/skeptic/comments/2wo1ys/paul_pantone_genius_inventor_scammed_by_government/
Paul Pantone allegedly invented a miracle carburetor, in that I mean some advanced technology that greatly increases the efficiency of an automobile engine. I am over simplifying his alleged inventions here a bit, because I am focusing on the question of why there no mainstream media articles on inventor Paul Pantone.
Since the invention of the automobile there have been stories of the small inventors who created the miracle carburetor in this garage, only to be shut down by big business or some mysterious chain of events. Some of these miracle carburetor inventors of the past, such as Tom Ogle and Charles Pogue, have received some mainstream media attention.
It is difficult to answer this question without sounding cynical or sarcastic, so with that warning given, let me try to take a stab at it. I have no first hand experience to share about Paul Pantone. I will continue to search for Paul Pantone, but finding any information at all from creditable primary sources has been difficult What I know about him is through many secondary sources on the internet.
The stories surrounding Paul Pantone are full of conspiracy theories. The accomplishments of Paul Pantone are only found on a few websites promoting alternative science ideas, and ones that are full of conspiracy theories.
As a student of science and technology for more than forty years, I am always looking for stories about the forgotten geeks, and likewise look to find the truth behind the myths and legends.
