Did you see this?

H3 Tec, a company here in Utah, recently purchased a full-page ad in the USA Today to attract the attention of Ed Zander, Chairman & CEO of Motorola. Apparently, the founder of H3 Tec, Charles Christensen, has invented a technology that can detect any element or compound from up to 2 miles away.

For example:

  • If you are walking out in the desert, the technology could detect oil within 2 miles
  • If you are at the airport, the technology could detect any hazardous element or compound on the plane
  • If you are up in the mtns., the technology could detect gold

Starting to get the idea? If not, here is a more extensive demo.

Anyway… back to the full page ad. Talk about a gutsy marketing strategy! If you haven’t clicked on the link above (the full-page ad), you need to. Charles left his personal email and cell phone on the ad and went all out to attract the attention of Motorola’s CEO.

Some people that have talked to Charles said that a lot more people than Ed ended up calling his cell phone; Eric Schmidt (CEO of Google), Steve Jobs (Apple), and others also called him expressing interest.

To me, this is all pretty far-fetched. Sounds like a story out of the tabloids… but I’m very anxious to find out. Has anyone else heard anything about this story?

    Now that would be a disruptive technology. Throw in a teleportation device and I’ll buy one myself.

    In all seriousness, I hope (for his sake) that Charles has got something.

    Blake,

    Ask for a demo, your not far from my office. You can make up your own mind if it works or not.

    Chemir Labs certified H3’s claims and we are very busy in the oil/gas field survey business now.

    Blake (I mean Brock) - take him up on the demo. I’ve emailed back and forth with these guys and I’d like to see it myself. If it does work, then think of the possibilities!

    I would also love to see it.

    That’s insane! I really do hope that it’s not real though. It could be used for good, and it could be used for evil. Just like any other new technology. I think if this was actually produced our economy would collapse. Everyone would find Gold and it would lose it’s value. On the other hand, anything to take down the terrorist bast*rds is a welcome commodity. Cool post anyway.

    Hello,

    Interesting article.

    I’m building a Free Entrepreneurs Investors community. Our idea is to connect entrepreneurs/inventors/investors together.They can post their projects/capital needs. Most entrepreneurs/inventors are too isolated and just don’t know what to do. They also do not have all the financial resources to raise money. We will be honored if you can participate to our community.

    I leave you the decision to publish the address of the website (thestreetmarket.com).

    Thanks and good work!

    This fraud has been perpetuated for centuries with “Witching Wands” and all sorts of Dowsing claims. There is no way this device will stand up to scientific scrutiny through a double-blind examination.

    Buyer Beware, many intelligent and honest people, including this inventor have been deceived with the ideo-motor effect that all of us are succeptable to.

    I see now where in their demo where there was even a single blind. This device will perform no better than chance.

    Most likely the inventor has developed a paranoia about the world stealing his invention and uses that to prevent scientific scrutiny from exposing the fraud by claiming top secret or the men in black are out to get him.

    Its unfortunate such deception exists and distracts from true scientific discovery that could help us protect our citizens from explosives and other weapons.

    I’ve been on their web site. They won’t let anyone email them. How am I supposed to know how much the thing costs?
