Pacific Way Foundation, incorporated in 2001 as an educational non-profit,
launched www.CPrize.org with two challenges and a handful of proposed
challenges. Pacific Way pledged multimillion dollar schools it owns outright
in the short-term absence of matching grants, sponsors or donors; and is
preparing to fundraise the rest via business using
www.buyorsell.it
(news continued below)
Two Technology Challenges offer $25 and $15 million dollar prizes, one
aimed at highspeed, cheap transportation with environmental benefits, which
competes head-on with the Google Lunar X-prize, making rocket transport for
their lunar landing obsolete. No fuels are burned in the HiBots Challenge,
only electrograviticmagnetic forces are used. Some think the models look
like a UFO.
Life-Phaser challenge is a social remedy aimed at security and law
enforcement. It protects the lives of offenders in the course of enforcement
duty. Deaths caused by firearms and tasers may become criminal offences once
this challenge is won. One point to note: the first color LCD screens we
take for granted were a million dollar technology challenge started nearly
20 years ago. Would notebook computer screens, Blackberries and iPhones
exist without its winners?
Did you want a change from war and killing of innocents, and faster
transportation without environmental pollution? International team
challengers are welcome. The HiBots challengers material cost of their model
is expected to be under $3000 so physics and engineering students without
the resources of huge aero-space industries can compete. Life-Phaser costs
even less.
Winning teams become world-class heroes. Technology applications spinning
from these challenges create leaps forward for both science, and humanity.
HiBots success provides a reasonable preemptive alternative to nuking
astronomic threats and doomsday concerns like Deep Impact which is expected
to threaten our world in the generation ahead.
Historic and prophetic evidence for this form of transportation exists.
Some people say the technology already is here ‘somewhere’, in arcane
settings, Area 51 or ‘elsewhere’. Yet since no commercial purposes exist
yet, teams are invited to apply their dreams, visions and hands to the
challenge and create a new technology. Teams are given a major clue how to
find the technology and ways to decipher the clues provided. Teams also
become partners in a creative, peaceful future. Visionaries see ways to
achieve the desired result, sceptics won’t.
