I enjoyed this post, I agree with a lot of what you said here. When it comes to things labeled as "fringe" or even "pseudoscience" by the mainstream High priests of science, funding becomes even more difficult . One of my main motivations in coming onto the steemit platform was to be able to earn by blogging step by step, an electric car conversion by using a unique design with permanent magnets on the pistons. After learning I can only earn on the content for the first 7 days was discouraging though, and now looking into other things like using youtube and patreon combinations in all this too. But I will have to check out some of these resources you listed now to see if they could help in some way. Thanks again in raising the awareness in this, history has always shown the best advancements come out of peoples garages/ backyards, and not corporations.
