- Below are a few inventions that would - or could have
- changed the way we do things.
-
- The Bascle Carburetor
-
- Patented in the fifties it was supposed to raise mileage
by 50% and reduce pollution 45%.
-
- Kendig Carburetors
-
- Produced an invention called the variable venture carburetor.
Most were hand made. Claimed to double fuel economy.
-
- Super Carburetor
-
- A Canadian inventor C.N. Pogue in the late thirties developed
a carburetor which claimed to give 200mpg.
-
- Water To Gas
-
- Guido F. Franch demostrated a water to gas mixture; according
to chemists it worked better than petrol. According to Franch his secret
was to use coal powder in his conversion.
-
- Burning Water
-
- in the thirties early tractors used three tanks - a
tank for petrol, another for kerosene and one for water. After using the
petrol to start the tractor they then switched over to a cheaper mixture
of kero and water.
-
- Petrol And Water Mix
-
- United International Research presented a report they
were using a mixture of 50% water, 45% petrol, alcohol and a bonding agent
which kept the formulation together.
-
- Ultrasonic Fuel Systems
-
- Used ultra sonics to vibrate existing fuels to a smaller
size; a 20% increase was expected from these units.
-
- Super Milage From Fuel Vapourization
-
- Car fuel was heated in the fuel tank and then vapour
fed into the carburetor. Several inventors got positive results, but it
was not taken up for some reason.
-
- The Alexander Fuelless Car System
-
- Robert Alexander put together a small 7/8 12 volt motor
that provided the power to start and when going, an air and hydraulic took
over recharging batteries. U.S. Patent 3913004.
-
- Salters Ducks
-
- Large floats moving up and down with ocean tides to produce
electrical energy. Scale models worked well.
-
- Zubris Electric Car Circuit Design
-
- The Zurbis invention cut energy drain on starting by
75%. The design is claimed to have doubled the efficiency of the electric
motor. U.S patent 3,809,978)(31).
-
- Air Powered Engines
-
- In 1816, Scottish inventor Robert Sterling designed an
engine that ran on hot air. In 1975 British Atomic Energy Commission came
up with a liquid version which was nothing more than pipes and valves.
-
- Electostatics
-
- When static electricity is made to flow over a red hot
object it is cooled. The tabernacle of the Christian Bible seems to be
a large electro static collector and storage unit. Rumour has it that a
device of the biblical dimension was built in the seventies but it was
found too dangerous to let it remain.
-
- Flying Disks
-
- John Searl of England built what he called levity disks
while working on electrical motor. He noticed EMF was given off as it was
spun. He claims to have built a disk which glowed pink and then disappeared.
He also claimed his disk designs created a vacuum around his craft and
once freed of gravitation attraction forces, it disappeared. Also claims
to have built several others.
-
- Laithwaite Anti Gravity
-
- Professor Eric Laithwaite devised an anti gravity machine
consisting of two spinning gyroscopes. It depended on the assumption that
no energy was required to return gyroscopes to original starting position.
-
- Lyle D. Atkins of Houston worked out a method to convert
organic moistened waste material between aluminium and copper electrode
plates to electrical energy of any size. It was said a special bacteria
was also involved.
-
- Physicist Alvin M Marks patented an electrical generator.
The device was two feet long, put out 10 watts and 50,000 volts of D.C.
power using nothing but a jet of electrical charged air and water vapour.
Charged particles shot from the generator unit, hit a repulsive field,
build up an electrical charge and then raced towards a collector unit where
the charge is removed.
-
- De Land Frost Guard Orchard Protector
-
- An American orchardist has ditched his frost protection
devices and installed the following. Starting with a 32 foot high tower
from which spring seven underground wires from the top of the tower and
out to maximum radius of 144 feet from the tower. At the end of each wire
there is a 5 inch alnico magnet which was wound with wire. The magnets
were pointed towards the north pole and towards the tower slightly 45 degrees.
There was just enough excess wire to extend beyond the soil and point in
alignment towards the top of the tower. One of the seven wires was in carefully
alignment to the magnetic north pole.
-
- Pharoahs Pump
-
- In the 1930s inventors become interested in the pyramids
and though it was one big water pump. Several functional models were built
between years 1940 to 1960. Despite patent being granted it never took
off.
