Subject: [sananda-l] ENERGY SUPPRESSION
ENERGY SUPPRESSION
Time magazine (Aust) 17 july 1995 (p.46) are rounding up the future technologies that are
going to severely change the world as we know it. They correctly point out that a
change in the usage of energy would have a massive impact, but then promise "The
first company to design an affordable car that doesn't foul the atmosphere will race past
it's competitors." Not only are they totaly wrong, but they're probably lying. The
simple fact is the technology has been with us for most of this past century, it's just
that it wouldn't be economicaly rational (for the oil companies) to allow the public to
utilise it.
My story began late one night driving home listening to talk back radio, when somebody
piped up that they'd been working on a solar-powered car out at the local airport, and it
was ready to go and as cheap and as safe as an average family car - except that you would
only need about five dollars worth of fuel per year to get it started. The startled D.J.
then asked when were we likely to see it in the market place, and the engineer cooly
replied "probably never, I'd say the oil companies will buy us out in a flash."
I nearly crashed my car- what on earth was going on here? The next day I rang the airport
to find out who was doing the testing only to find out from an assertive voice,
"there are no automobiles being tested here and there never has been." Fine, the
dead end proved to be the spark of determination to send me on my investigative way.
The next encounter was about a year later involving a friend who knew a guy who invented a
lawn mower that ran on water. Sceptical but excited, I said I wanted to meet the man and
she came back a few days later quite upset to find he'd recently opened his front door to
a shot gun blast in the face, the dead inventor had been solidly drinking for the past six
months since he came home with a million or so dollars and word to the family that he
didn't want to discuss his engines again. O.K. - that one seemed weird, maybe he was some
dodgy businessman or something. I still needed more.
More came in the form of an article in the Melbourne Age (13/7/93 p.5) introducing the
"ozone safe induction" system, a little black box that was added to your engine
that cut fuel usage by up to two-thirds with a corresponding reduction in pollution.
Oz Smart Technologies was the name of the firm, and Mike Holland the inventor that I
talked to about his supposed breakthrough. "Yeah, the U.S. military just flew out
some Generals and stuff and they want to buy it, and Nissan just offered me five million
dollars but I want to develop it in Australia." Yeah but, does it work? Apparantly it
did, the E.P.A. told him off the record it was the best design of it's kind they'd ever
seen, along with a bunch of techies from Swinburne University who'd done all the testing,
but the media continued to consider the device a bit of a hoax and the company simply does
not exist anymore - yep they just dissapeared (again).
My research today tells me that Mike Holland's invention was probably of the
"Improved fuel efficiency" variety simply burning fuel in a more efficient
manner, nothing terribly difficult. Other well known developments are of the "car
running on water" kind, usually involving electrical current running through the
water to extract and then burn the hydrogen. Some of the more interesting involve the use
of magnets, sometimes tuned to exact frequencies that take energy from the ambient
atmosphere.
Since meeting Mike Holland I have mnanaged to collect quite a list of energy inventions
that have somehow avoided being utilised in the market place. You may not beleive they all
work, but it would be very difficult to claim that all of them are fabrications, still the
evidence is here - you decide yourself.
HYDROGEN POWER
Yull Brown - from Sydney Australia developed a method of extracting
hydrogen from water in 1978 and utilising it as a car fuel and fuel for welders. After
much publicity (see The Bulletin (Aust) Aug 22, 1989) he had managed to raise over 2
million dollars but has failed to fully develop his invention.
Francisco Pacheco - an inventor from Bolivia created the "Pacheco
Bi-Polar Autoelectric Hydrogen Generator" (US PAT #5,089,107) which separates
hydrogen from seawater. He has built successful prototypes that have fueled a car, a
motorcycle, a lawn mower, a torch, a boat, and most recently in 1990 he energised an
entire home in West Milford. After many conferences (including U.N.) and public
exhibitions proving the inventions worth, the wider community is still unable to utilise
this technology.
Edward Estevel - from Spain developed a classic 'water to auto engine'
system in the late 1960's extracting the hydrogen out of water to use as fuel. This system
was highly heralded, then sank among other such 'high hope' hydrogen systems amid rumours
of foul play.
Sam Leach - of Los Angeles developed a revolutionary hydrogen extraction
process during the mid seventies. The unit easily
extracted free hydrogen from water and was small enough to fit under the hood of
automobiles. In 1976 two independent labs in LA tested this generator with perfect
results. Mr M.J. Mirkin who began the Budget car rental system purchased the rights to the
device from the inventor who was said to be very concerned about his personal security.
Rodger Billings - of Provo, Utah headed a group of inventors that
developed a system converting ordinary cars to run on Hydrogen. Instead of using heavy
hydrogen tanks, he used metal alloys called Hydrides, to store vast amounts of
hydrogen. When hot exhaust gases passed through these Hydride containers it released
the gas to burn in the standard engines. Billings estimated the conversion would cost
around US$500 and greatly improve fuel consumption.
Archie Blue - an inventor from Christchurch, New Zealand developed a car
that runs purely on water by the extraction of hydrogen. An alleged offer of 500 million
dollars from "Arab interests" was not enough to convince him to sell but
never-the-less he has been unable to take his engine to the market place.
ELECTRIC ENGINES
Wayne Henthron - from Los Angeles built an "Electromatic Auto"
in 1976 that managed to regenerate its own electricity. In normal stop and go driving it
gave several hundred miles of service between recharges. The system worked by the wiring
of the batteries to act as capacitors once the car was moving along with four standard
auto alternators acting to keep the batteries charged. With little official interest in
his system the inventor resolved to make the car available to the public to do so, is now
involved with the World Federation of Science and Engineering - 15532 Computer Lane,
Huntington Beach, CA, 92649.
Joseph R. Zubris - developed in 1969 an electric car circuit design (US
PAT #3,809,978) that he estimated cost him $100 a year to operate. Using an old ten horse
electric truck motor, he worked out a unique system to get peak performance from his old
1961 Mercury engine that he ran from this power plant. The device actually cut energy
drain on electric car starting by 75%, and by weakening excitation after getting started,
produced a 100% mileage gain over conventional electric motors. The inventor was shocked
to find the lack of reaction from larger business interests, and so in the early seventies
began selling licenses to interested smaller concerns for $500. Last known address was
Zubris Electrical Company, 1320 Dorchester Ave, Boston, Ma, 02122.
Richard Diggs - developed at an inventors workshop (I.W. international)
his "Liquid Electricity Engine" that he believed could
power a large truck for 25,000 miles from a single portable unit of his electrical fuel.
Liquid electricity violated a number of the
well known physical laws that the inventor pointed out. The inventor was also aware of the
profound impact the invention could have upon the world's economy - if it could be
developed.
B. Von Platen - a 65 year old Swedish inventor made a major breakthrough
in the field of Thermo-electric engines with his
"Hot and Cold Engine" - based on the fact that wires of different metals produce
electricity if they are joined and heated, the
inventors secret breakthrough is said to give more than 30% more efficiency than regular
motors, and with a radioactive isotope
for power (hmmm?!) it could be completely free from fossil fuels. Volvo of Sweden bought
the rights to this in 1975.
STEAM ENGINES
Oliver Yunick - developed a super efficient steam engine in 1970 (Pop.Sci.
Dec.1970) able to compete admirably with combustion engines.
DuPont Laboratories - built one of the most advanced steam engines in
late 1971 using a recyclable fluid of the freon family. It is assumed to contain no
need for an external condensor, valves, or tubes. (Pop.Sci.Jan1972)
William Bolon - from Rialto, California, developed an unusual steam engine design
in 1971, that was said to get up to 50 miles to the gallon. The engine used only 17 moving
parts and weighed less than 50 pounds and eliminated the usual transmission and drive
train in an automatic. After much publicity, the inventors factory was fire bombed with
damages totaling $600,000 . Letters to the Whitehouse were ignored so the inventor
finally gave up and let Indonesian interests have the design.
AIR POWER
Roy J. Meyers - from LA built an air powered car in 1931. (air has been
used for years to power localised underground mine engines) Myers, an engineer, built a
114lb, 6 cylinder radial air engine that produced over 180 HP. Newspaper articles at the
time reported that the vehicle could cruise several hundred miles at low speeds.
Vittorio Sorgato - of Milan, Italy also created a very impressive air
powered vehicle in the 70's using compressed air stored as a liquid. After a great deal of
initial interest from Italian sources his invention is now all but forgotten.
Robert Alexander - from Montebello, Ca. spent 45 days and around $500 to
put together a car (US PAT #3913004) based on a small 7/8ths 12 v-motor that provided the
initial power. Once going, a hydraulic and air system took over and recharged the small
electric energy drain. The inventor and his partner were determined that the auto industry
would not bury their "super power" system. To no avail.
Joseph P Troyan - designed an air powered flywheel that could propel an
automobile for 2c a mile. Using a principle of "ratio
amplification of motion" in a closed system, the Troyan motor (US PAT #040011) was
easily attached to electric generators for pollution-free variable power systems.
David McClintock - created his free energy device known as the
"McClintock Air Motor" (US PAT #2,982,26100) which is a cross between a diesel
engine with three cylinders with a compression ratio of 27 to 1, and a rotary engine with
solar and plenary gears. It burns no fuel, but becomes self-running by driving it's own
air compressor.
MAGNETIC ENERGY
John W. Keeley - developed a car in the 1920's using principles similar
to Nikola Tesla's, drawing harmonic magnetic energies from the planet itself. The electric
car ran from high frequency electricity that was received when he simply broadcast the re-
radiated atmospheric energy from a unit on his house roof. GM and the other Detroit oil
"powers" offered the inventor 35 million dollars which was turned down when they
would not guarantee to market the engine. Henry Ford - later bought and successfully
shelved the invention.
Harold Adams - of Lake Isabella, California, worked out a motor thought
to be similar to Keeley's. It was demonstrated for many persons, including Naval
scientists around the late 1940's before it to "disappeared" from our history.
Dr Keith E. Kenyon - of Van Nuys, California discovered a discrepancy in
long accepted laws relating to electric motor magnets, and so built a radically different
motor that could theoretically run a car on a very small amount of electrical
current. When demonstrated to physicists and engineers in 1976 those present
admitted that it worked remarkably well but because it was beyond the 'accepted' laws of
physics they chose to ignore it.
Bob Teal - of Madison, Florida was a retired electronics engineer when he
invented his Magna-Pulsion Engine which ran by means of six tiny electromagnets and a
secret timing device. Requiring no fuel, the engine emitted no gases. It was so simple in
design it required very little maintanence and a small motorcycle battery was enough power
to get it started. The engine has been met with little else but skepticism.
Lester J. Hendershot - built his Hendershot Generator in the late 1920's
largely through trial and error. He wove together a number of flat coils of wire and
placed stainless steel rings, sticks of carbon and permanent magnets in various positions
as an experiment. To his surprise it actually produced current. The generator raised
considerable attention at the time.
Howard Johnson - developed a motor thats power is generated purely by
magnetism. It took six years of legal hassles to patent his design (US PAT #4,151,431) -
more information is available from the "Permanent Magnet Research Institute"
P.O. Box 199, Blacksburg, Virginia 24063. He is currently offering licensing rights.
Edwin V. Gray - developed in the early seventies an engine that uses no fuel and
produces no waste, The engine that runs itself is U.S. Pat #3,890,548.
PETROLEUM ADDITIVES
Guido Franch - from Michigan U.S.A. began demonstrating in the mid
seventies his "water-to-gas miracle" a fuel he created by adding to water a
small quantity of "conversion powder" which was easily processed from coal. He
claimed it could be processed for a few cents per gallon if mass produced. The fuel was
tested by Chemists at Havoline Chemical of Michigan and the local University, and both
concluded it worked more efficiently than gasoline. Franch continued to put on
demonstrations for years but said the auto manufacturers, Government, and private
companies just weren't interested in his revolutionary fuel.
Dr Alfred R. Globus - working for United International Research developed a
Hydro-fuel mixture around the mid-seventies. The fuel was a mixture of 45% gasoline,
50% or more of water, and small percentages of United's "Hydrelate" which acted
as a bonding agent. It was estimated that a hundred million gallons of fuel could be saved
per day if this fuel were utilised but alas nobody seemed interested.
John Andrews - a Portuguese chemist who in 1974 developed a fuel additive
that enabled ordinary gasoline to be mixed with water reducing fuel costs down to 2c a
gallon. After successfully demonstrating the substance, impressed Navy officials when
going to negotiate for the formula found the inventor missing and his lab ransacked.
Water and Alcohol Motor - Jean Chambrin, an engineer in Paris ran his private
cars on a mixture of denatured alcohol and water. The inventor / mechanical engineer
claimed his motor design could be mass produced at a fraction of the cost of present
engines. He received nothing but publicity that led him to take great precautions in
regard to his personnel security.
Mavrin D. Martin - from the University of Arizona developed in 1977 a
"fuel reformer" catalytic reactor that was estimated to double mileage. The
device was designed to cut exhaust emissions by mixing water with Hydro-carbon fuels to
produce an efficient Hydrogen, Methane, Carbon-Monoxide fuel.
IMPROVING FUEL EFFICIENCY
Edward La Force - from Vermont U.S.A. designed with his brother Robert, a
highly efficient engine that burnt all the usually
wasted heavier gasoline molecules. The 'Los Angeles Examiner' (Dec. 29, 1974) reported
that the cams, timing and so on were altered on stock Detroit engines. These modifications
not only eliminated most of the pollution from the motor but by completely burning all the
fuel, the mileage was usually doubled. After much publicity the US EPA examined the cars
and found the motor designs were not good enough. Few people believed the EPA including a
number of Senators who brought up the matter in a Congressional hearing in March 1975. The
result was still silence.
Eric Cottell - was one of the pioneers of ultrasonic fuel systems. This involved
using sonic transducers to 'vibrate' existing fuels
down to much smaller particles, making it burn up to 20% more efficiently. Cottell then
went on to discover that super fine
S-ionised water could be mixed perfectly with up to 70% oil or gas in these systems, this
was followed by much publicity (e.g. Newsweek, June 17,1974) and then, once again -
silence.
L. Mills. Beam - had his super-mileage carburetor bought out in
the1920's. In the late 60's he worked out a catalytic vegetable compound that produced the
same super mileage results. In principle it was nothing more than a method of using the
hot exhaust gases of an engine to vapourise the liquid gas being burned. By
rearranging the molecules of gas and diesel, he was able to triple mileage rates, while
obtaining better combustion, mileage and emission control. He was refused and rejected by
U.S. State and Federal Air Pollution and Environmental Pollution agencies and was finally
forced to sell his formula abroad in the mid-seventies just to survive.
John W. Gulley - of Gratz Kentucky managed 115 mpg from his 8 cylinder
Buick using a similar vapourising method as that employed by L.M. Beam. "Detroit
interests" bought and suppressed the device in 1950.
SHELL research of London - produced a 'Vapipe' unit in the early
seventies that also vapourised the petroleum at around 40 degrees centigrade, and used a
sophisticated pressure loss reduction system, but alas was not marketed because it did not
meet Federal emission standards.
Russell Bourke - designed an engine in 1932 with only two moving parts.
He connected two pistons to a refined "Scotch Yoke" crankshaft and came up with
an engine that was superior in most respects to any competitive engine. His design burned
any cheap carbon based fuel and delivered great mileage and performance. Article
after article was published acclaiming his engine but once again, to no avail. "The
Bourke Engine Documentary" is the revealing book the inventor assembled just before
his death.
NEW FUELS
Clayton J. Querles - from Lucerne Valley, California took a 10,000 mile trip
across the country in his 1949 Buick on $10 worth of carbide by building a simple carbide
generator which worked on the order of a miners lamp. He claimed that half a pound of
acetylene pressure was sufficient to keep his car running, but because acetylene was
dangerous, he put a safety valve on his generator and ran the outlet gas through water to
ensure there would be no 'blow back'. The inventor also toyed successfully with methods of
fuel vapourisation. (see Sun-Telegram 11/2/74.)
Joseph Papp - built the highly regarded Papp engine in the 60's that
could run on a 15 cents an hour secret combination of expandable gases. Instead of burning
fuel, this engine used electricity to expand the gas in hermetically sealed cylinders. The
first prototype was a simple ninety horsepower Volvo engine with upper end modifications.
Attaching the Volvo pistons to pistons fitting the sealed cylinders, the engine worked
perfectly with an output of three hundred horsepower. The inventor claimed it would cost
about twenty five dollars to charge each cylinder every sixty thousand miles. The idea has
gotten nowhere amid accusations of suppression by the media.
CARBURETORS
G.A. Moore - one of the most productive inventors of carburetors, he held
some 17,000 patents of which 250 were related to the automobile and it's carburetion.
Industry today relies on his air brakes and fuel injection systems, it continues to
completely ignore his systems for reducing pollution, gaining more mileage and improving
overall engine efficiency. More info from "The Works of George Arlington Moore"
published by the Madison Company. (See US PAT #'s 1,633,791 to 2,123,485 for 17
interesting developments.)
Joseph Bascle - created the Bascle carburetor in the mid 50's. The
carburetor raised mileage by 25% and reduced pollution by 45%. It's inventor, a well known
Baton Rouge researcher remodified every carburetor in the local Yellow Cab fleet, shortly
after his arrival there.
Kendig Carburetors - were originally hand made for racing cars by a small group
of mechanics in Los Angeles in the early seventies under the title of Variable Venture
Carburetors. Eventually a young college student bought one of their less sophisticated
prototypes for his old Mercury "gas hog", when he entered it in a Californian
air pollution run - he won easily - not only did the carburetor reduce pollution, it gave
almost twice the mileage. Within a week the student was told to remove the carburetor as
it was not approved by the Air Resources Board. The simpler Kendig model was due for
production in 1975 but
has yet to be produced.
C.N. Pogue - from Winnipeg, Canada, developed a carburetor (US PAT#
2,026,789) in the late 1930's that used superheated steam in it's system and managed at
least 200 miles per gallon. Much local interest, including threats from professional
thieves, was not enough publicity to see this invention through to the market place.
John R. Fish - developed his "Fish" carburetor in the early
1940's that was tested by Ford who admitted that the invention was a third more efficient
than theirs. The design can also be easily switched to alcohol. Nevertheless the inventor
was hindered from manufacture and distribution in almost every possible way, he once even
resorted to selling by mail order, only to be stopped by the Post Office. The device can
be currently bought from "Fuel systems of America" Box 9333, Tacoma, Washington
98401 - U.S.ph:(206) 922-2228. (US PAT's 2,214,273 and 2,236,595 and 2,775,818.)
The Dresserator - was created around the early 70's in Santa Ana,
California by Lester Berriman. It was based on a super-accurate mixture control using
greatly enhanced airflow, and could run a car on up to a 22-to-1 fuel mixture. Test cars
passed the pollution control standards with ease and managed up to an 18% mileage gain.
Although Holley Carburetor and Ford signed agreements to manufacture the design in 1974,
nothing has been heard of since.
Mark J. Meierbachtol - from San Bernardino, California patented a carburetor (
U.S. Patent # 3,432,281 March, 11, 69) that managed significantly greater mileage than was
usual.
