The United State’s military successes in World War I and World War II were supported by Riverbank, which is a direct lineal predecessor of the National Security Agency and Central Intelligence Agency. Original research led to scientific realization of acoustic levitation.

He built one, but couldn’t get it to fly, so he sent to Harvard University for some acoustic experts to help him …
