Michael Jackson Photos To Fund 'Revolutionary' Electric Motor Engine

Previously unseen photos of Michael Jackson are being used to fund a Los Angeles inventor's bid to launch a new electric motor engine.

Reginald Garcia took the photos of Jackson 33 years ago and is now hoping that by selling the photographs he can fund the new project.

The photos show a 19-year-old Jackson and his brothers preparing for a video shoot at a Hollywood studio in March 1978. The 133 images are currently being prepared for sale.

Garcia believes the electric motor engine can help solve the world's energy problems, reports CNN.

Jackson died in June 2009 – just weeks before he was set to make his live comeback with a huge residency at London's O2 Arena.
