The Famous 200 MPG Carburetor
_________________
We've all heard many stories about the 200 MPH carburetors that are kept under lock and key by the Oil Companies etc. If you are like me you really don't quite know what to make of these claims.
I recently came across a list of "evidence" regarding this type of thing on a web page published by Byron Wine, byronw@erols.com. The following examples and comments are his. I hope you find it interesting.
"Some folks at Shell Oil Co. wrote "Fuel Economy of the Gasoline Engine" (ISBN 0-470-99132-1); it was published byJohn Wiley & Sons, New York, in 1977. On page 42 Shell Oil quotes the President of General Motors, he, in 1929, predicted 80 MPG by 1939. Between pages 221 and 223 Shell writes of their achievements: 49.73 MPG around 1939; 149.95 MPG with a 1947 Studebaker in 1949; 244.35 MPG with a 1959 Fiat 600 in 1968; 376.59 MPG with a 1959 Opel in1973. [Comment: The Library of Congress (LOC), in September 1990, did not have a copy of this book. It was missing from the files. I bought my copy from Maryland Book Exchange around 1980 after a professor informed me that it was used as an engineering text at the University of West Virginia.]
The book "Secrets of the 200 MPG Carburetor" is by Allan Wallace and was available, about 198(?), from Premier Distributing, 1775 Broadway, NY, NY, 10019. Page 18 has photocopies of three 1936 tests by the Ford Motor Co.(Canada) of the Pogue carburetor (U.S. Patent # 2,026,798). The worst case test achieved about 171 MP(US)G. [Comment:I can not provide any other publishing information because the book is among the material stolen from me in 1986. My copy of page 18 is very poor.]
The St. Paul Pioneer News, August 22, 1990, has an article about a group that 11 years previously modified a Dodge
half-ton pickup furnished by a local dealer. This modified truck got more than 35 MPG. Test stopped on this modification when a member of the group was told that he would receive a pair of cement boots if testing continued.
Popular Science, about 1978,9(?), published an article "Hydrogen bus- could also heat its own garage". This article is about the work of Dr. Helmut Buchner of Mercedes-Benz. He is quoted "We are ready now. We could save our city of Stuttgart over one million gallons of petroleum fuel a year by converting its fleet of 300 urban busses to run on hydrogen. Heating--and air conditioning--would be free spin-offs, consuming no extra energy.".
Popular Science, March 1978(?), published an article "Hydrogen -demonstrates fuel of the future". This article is about the work of Dr. Billings, Billings Energy Corp., Provo, Utah. and others. The article states that a home, all the appliances, and vehicles, can be run on hydrogen. Dr. Billings converted a CadillacSeville for duel fuel use. This Cadillac, burning hydrogen, was in President Carter's inaugural parade. [Comment: I had a photograph of Dr. Billings drinking the exhaust, water, from one of his engines.]
The Moray device. Tom Moray, in the late 20s, had a device that could sit on a kitchen table and produce 50,000 Watts
of power from a field that surrounds the earth. The operation of this device was endorsed by many people. Moray's son,
John, after the only copy of his father's book was stolen, wrote a book "The Sea of Energy in which the Earth Floats". The
book is about his father's work. During the early 80s, I visited many congressional offices in an unsuccessful attempt to have
any Member of Congress do something about the technology hidden from the American people. When I visited Congressman
Ron Paul's office, a staffer said to me "I have something that you should read, come to my residence on Saturday." ...this book, states that the Moray device could produce 1.5 megawatts of power. This book was also missing
from the LOC in 1990.]"
Ed note: I gues the point is that if "the books" are missing it is proof positive that they exist?
