-----------------------------------------------------------------
The
Washington Post, Washington Times, Richmond Times Dispatch, Potomac News,
Manassas Journal Messenger and many other print, radio/TV media outlets will not
inform you of this information.
After you read the following information, do you wonder why they won't
inform you?
If
you can, please help to distribute this information.
Please
send suggestions and comments to:

So
you think we have an energy problem?
No, we have a political problem.
I
want to relate to you some facts concerning various suppressed energy devices
and the difficulty in bringing this information to the public. I hope that you can add some additional
information.
On
October 1, 1990, I began to keep a list of people contacted concerning energy
devices. The list is now 51 pages
long. The list includes the
President and vice-president; 121
Members of Congress and other politicians;
21 government and state agencies;
215 members of the print and electronic media; 62 environmental groups; The President of United Auto Workers and
14 other UAW officials; The
President of The American Automobile Association; many members of the clergy, including
Mr. Pat Robertson, and also the people at Christian Science Monitor; and numerous
others.
My
own Congressman, Representative Frank Wolf, will not respond to a letter and 182
pages of documentation that I put in his hand on August 25, 1993. I wonder just who he does respond to?
Could it be that money talks?
Note: In several of the following references
information is followed by a (?) symbol, or a statement that the original
material was stolen from me in 1986.
This is because in those cases I am working from very poor copies of the
original material. In 1986, I was
visited by an intern reporter for the Washington Times who wanted to take my
material back to the paper to make copies.
What he did was steal my material and take it back to college with
him. Had it not been for an Editor
at the Washington Times, and the Dean at this intern's school, I would have lost
a lot of my collection of energy material.
Here
are the facts. Please verify this
information for yourself. My
comments are identified as:
“[Comment: ]”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Some folks at Shell Oil Co. wrote
"Fuel Economy of the Gasoline Engine" (ISBN 0-470-99132-1); it was published by John Wiley &
Sons, New York, in 1977.
[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 I was informed by a professor that it
was used as an engineering text at the University of West
Virginia.]
A. On page 42 Shell Oil quotes the
President of General Motors who in 1929 predicted 80 MPG by
1939.
B. 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 in 1973.
2. 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 cannot 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.]
3. Argosy Magazine, August 1977, has a
five-page article about Tom Ogle and the media witnessed test of the
"Oglemobile". Tom Ogle, on that
test run, achieved more than 100 MPG in a 4,600 pound 1970 Ford
Galaxie.
[Comment:
When I attempted to find a copy of that Argosy Magazine, it was missing from LOC
files in 1980. Argosy ceased
publication, I was informed, a short time after the Ogle article was
published. I could not find a copy
of that Argosy issue at any library within 200 miles of my home. An Editor at the company that purchased
Argosy, found and mailed a copy to me.
While attempting to verify statements in the article, I spoke with Doug
Lenzini (sp?) with the El Paso Times.
Mr. Lenzini informed me that he knew Tom Ogle, and the Oglemobile
achieved more than 200 MPG. When I
contacted the El Paso NBC affiliate that filmed the test run described in the
Argosy article, I was informed that the person who had filmed the test had left
the station and taken all the records with him.]
A. The Ogle U.S. Patent, #4,177,779,
has this statement: "I have been
able to obtain extremely high gas mileages with the system of the present
invention installed on a V-8 engine of a conventional 1971 American made
automobile. In fact, mileage rates
in excess of one hundred miles per gallon have been achieved with the present
invention." According to the Argosy
article, a Shell Oil Co. representative asked Ogle what he would do if someone
offered him $25 Million for the system.
Ogle responded, "I would not be interested." He later said, "I've always wanted to be
rich, and I suspect I will be when this system gets into distribution. But I'm not going to have my system
bought up and put on the shelf. I'm
going to see this thing through -- that I promise." According to an article in The
Washington Post Parade Magazine, March 4, 1984, Tom Ogle died of a drug and
alcohol overdose in 1981. Other
articles concerning Tom Ogle can be found in the El Paso Journal, January 16,
1980, and also, The Hamilton Spectator, June 24, 1978.
B. The Oglemobile, in simplification,
ran on fumes extracted from a heated tank in the trunk (see the Ogle
patent). A very simple method of
extracting gasoline fumes is described in a book, published in 1900, "Gas Engine
Construction". This book was
reprinted by Lindsay in 1986, ISBN 0‑917914‑46‑5.
4. There are many U.S. Patents granted
for vaporizing gasoline. NASA Patent 3,640,256; General Electric Co. Patent
3,926,150; Robinson Patent
4,003,969; Harpman Patent
4,023,538; Butler Patent
4,068,636; Totten Patent
4,106,457.
[Comment: Pete, "The Tree Man", was researching
the Fish carburetor while staying in my home during the early 80's. He later sent me a 6-page list with more
than 240 U.S. Patent numbers for vaporizing gasoline, other fuels and
water.]
5. During the mid-70's, physicist Don
Novak traveled all over the U.S. lecturing and teaching in his seminars how to
achieve 100 MPG. He also testified,
October 15, 1979, before a Wichita, KS, Congressional Committee on "Reinventing
the Automobile".
[Comment: I have known Don for many years. Once he brought to my home, in the late
70's, two carburetors; one got more
than 200 MPG and the other more than 100 MPG. I contacted a local politician, who
lives in my town, and was on the Virginia Energy Subcommittee. I tried to have this politician meet Don
and see the carburetors. The
politician was not interested.]
6. In the London, England, Daily
Telegraph, 10/20/83, on page 9, there is an advertisement for a production
Pugeot Diesel that gets 52.3 MPG in urban driving. In the Washington Post, 9/19/83, page
37(?) is the 1983 U.S. EPA fuel economy list of various vehicles. The U.S. model Pugeot Diesel gets
between 22 and 27 MPG. The
Washington Times, 8/9/91, published an article, "Gas saving engines hit streets
in fall". This article is about two
engines, the Mitsubishi MVV engine, and the Honda VTEC-E. According to the
company spokesmen, the Mitsubishi will get up to 50 MPG; the Honda, up to 88
MPG.
[Comment:
I visited a local Honda dealer and got a brochure on the production automobile
with the VTEC-E engine, the specified MPG, as I recall, was 53 MPG. I know of no produced Honda that gets 88
MPG. I have no information on the production Mitsubishi MVV engine. I wonder if there is something that
happens to fuel economy when an automobile is transported to the USA. Is it possible that these engines
"un-tweak" themselves during transit?]
7. The U.S. Government supported
(Grant No. DTNH22-91-Z-06014) a study of automobile fuel economy by the National
Academy of Sciences. This study,
"Automotive Fuel Economy -- How Far Should We Go?" (ISBN 0-309-04530-4), was
used by the staff of my then Congressman George Allen, to refute documentation
proving that an automobile had exceeded 376 MPG. Nowhere in this "fuel economy study" is
there any reference to the work of Shell Oil Co. or any other reference that
could refute the conclusion of this report. The report concluded, Page 4, that a
subcompact car might achieve between 39 and 44 MPG by model year 2006. Many committee meetings were held from
May 15, 1991 to December 14, 1991, prior to the April 1992 publication of this
report. Prior to publication of
this report, I previously sent documentation to several participants of these
meetings. The documentation proved
that automobile fuel economies of between 49 and 376 MPG were achieved. None of the participants responded to my
letters. Documentation was sent
to: Jerry R. Curry, Administrator,
National Highway Safety Administration, on 3/16/91; Senator Richard H. Bryan, on
3/7/91; Congressman Philip R.
Sharp, on 2/18/91; Steve Plotkin,
Office of Technology Assessment, U.S. Congress, on 4/4/91; Charles Mendler, Energy Conservation
Collation, on 11/2/90; Fred Smith,
Competitive Enterprise Institute, on 4/16/91; Brian O'Neal, Center for Auto Safety, on
3/16/91; Clarence Ditlow, Executive
Director, Center for Auto Safety, on 1/6/92. Previous documentation was also sent to
members of organizations participating in these meetings, they are: John Koenig, Product planning Manager,
Toyota Motor Co., on 3/18/91; Peter
Clausen, Union of Concerned Scientist, on 10/28/90; John Morrill, American Council for
Energy Efficiency, on 10/4/90. None
of these people responded to my letters.
[Comment: I know that at least one of my letters
was received. The Union of
Concerned Scientist keeps trying to get me to support their
organization.]
8. An article "Automakers Move Toward
New Generation Of Greener Vehicles" was published in "Chemical & Engineering
News", August 1, 1994. This article
is about "The Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles", a partnership
between the U.S. Government and the auto industry that has a goal of an 80 MPG
automobile by 2002.
[Comment: In 1992 a government funded study
concluded that a subcompact car might get between 39 and 44 MPG by model year
2006 (See #7 above). In 1994 the
goal is 80 MPG by 2002. Is it
possible that someone read the Shell Oil book? Or could someone have actually read my
February 13, 1992 letter, and 95 pages of documentation, sent to then Candidate
Clinton?] I wrote, September 8,
1994, to Deborah L. Illman, the author of the article, and to the editor,
Michael Heylin of Chemical & Engineering News, on September 11, 1994. No response was received from them. On September 11, 1994, I also wrote to
Mary L. Good, Under Secretary for Technology, (USA) Department of Commerce. I received a response from Ms.
Good. It was an undated,
unaddressed, form letter.
[Comment: I guess the fact that a vehicle could
get 376 MPG or burn water for fuel would not be a politically correct
finding. How could someone explain
to the American people that it was necessary to send more than 600,000 of our
citizens to the Mideast to defend oil wells if these facts were public
information?]
9. Hybrid Diesel/Electric Automobiles
(A Diesel/Electric locomotive uses the same principle). The Manassas Journal Messenger, April 4,
1981, has an article about a MG sports car converted by San Diego State
University. The car gets 110
MPG. The Steven R. Reed Automobile
Manufacturing Corp., Newport Beach, CA, issued a press release dated February
14, 1983. This release announces
the February 23, 1983 showing of the 200 MPG, two passenger, II Millennium
Cruiser at the Ambassador Hotel.
The press release also states that the company will file "... a major
class-action lawsuit involving a considerable number of giant American
corporations within the automotive and petroleum industries, plus numerous
branches and agencies of the U.S. Government responsible for regulating these
companies."
[Comment: Don Novak informed me that when none of
the major news media attended the Millennium show, the company drove the car to
CBS Television, Los Angeles, and parked it on the lawn. No one came out of the building to
inspect the car. Don also stated
that the president of the Steven R. Reed Corp. has been in hiding for some
years.]
10. Mother Earth News, November/December
1977, has an article, "Can This Transmission Really Double Your Car's
Mileage?" This article is about a
Ford Granada modified by Vincent Carman of Portland, Oregon. In simplification, Mr. Carman removed
the transmission and drive shaft from the car and bolted a hydraulic motor to
the differential. He then bolted a
hydraulic pump to the engine to pressurize a storage tank. The storage tank is also pressurized
when the car brakes or slows down.
The article states that the U.S. Post Office is interested in a whole
fleet of vehicles using this principle.
In 1990, after reading an article in "Federal Times", I contacted Mr.
Robert St.Francis, U.S. Postal Service, who was searching for alternative fuels
for use by the Post Office. Mr. St.
Francis said that he had never heard of Mr. Carman. I wrote two letters, October 18 &
21, 1990, to Mr. St. Francis concerning Mr. Carman's vehicle. I received no response. Another article in Mother Earth News,
March/April 1976,8(?), titled "This Car Travels 75 Miles on a Single Gallon Of
Gas", is about a project by the Minneapolis Minnesota's Hennepin Vocational
Technical Center that converted a Volkswagen to a system similar to that of Mr.
Carman. The idea for the conversion
came from a 1920 magazine article.
The car, with a Bradley GT body and a 16 horsepower Tecumseh engine (The
original VW engine was too powerful), achieved more than 75 MPG at 70
MPH.
[Comment:
Could we combine the technology of Tom Ogle, 200 MPG, and the hydraulic drive
cars and have a 400 MPG 4,600 pound car ?]
11. 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.
12. Hydrogen fuel. There are many U.S. and foreign patents
for extracting hydrogen and oxygen gasses from water for use as a fuel. Some patents are: July 2, 1935, Garrett,
#2,006, 675; April 3, 1945, Klein,
#2,373,032; February 25, 1975,
Chambrin, French Patent Request #75 06619;
July 6, 1976, owner unknown by me, #3,967,589 (This is a patent for an
electrical power generator that burns water); 1976, Horvath, #3,980,053. This statement is on the Horvath patent,
"This invention relates to internal combustion engines. More particularly it is concerned with a
fuel supply apparatus by means of which an internal combustion engine can be run
on a fuel comprised of hydrogen and oxygen gases generated on demand by
electrolysis of water"; June 28,
1983, Meyer, #4,398,981. Mr. Meyer
has at least eight other patents relating to hydrogen and oxygen gases extracted
from water for fuel.
A. 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 buses to run on hydrogen. Heating -- and air conditioning -- would
be free spin-offs, consuming no extra energy."
B. 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 Cadillac
Seville 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.]
13. Completely sealed reciprocating
engines. I visited the patent
office years ago, when they still had the open stacks of "shoe boxes". While there, I read the application
files for the Papp patent, #3,6(?)70,4944.
Papp applied for a patent on his engine, and the patent office, after
consultation with the old Atomic Energy Commission, refused to give him a patent
because his device could not possibly work. Papp responded with test results,
photographs and depositions from, I think, 16 people. Papp said that maybe the patent office
didn't know how his device worked, and that they also didn't know how the atomic
bomb worked, but used it anyway.
This statement is on his patent:
"... 2. To provide a two cycle reciprocating engine which does not use
fuel intake valves or exhaust valves, does not require an air supply and does
not emit gasses. 3. To provide a
precharged engine of the character stated in item 2 capable of generating power
for a period of from 2,000 to over 10,000 hours continuously or until mechanical
breakdown without the addition of fuel injection of air or discharge of gasses
....”
A. Papp has a similar patent granted
in 1984. Unfortunately, the patent
# is missing form the only sheet that I have.
B. Britt, August 31, 1976, has a
patent, #3,977,191, for a similar sealed engine. In the patent application file, Britt
accuses the Patent Office of deliberately delaying his application to give a
major manufacturer time to file on top of him.
14. Permanent Magnet Motor. Howard Johnson was granted U.S. Patent
#4,151,431, for a motor that is powered only by permanent magnets. An interesting thing about the first
page of this patent is the chart of a magnetic field VS electromechanical
coupling. The chart is from U.S.
Patent #4,151,432 which has nothing to do with the Johnson patent. Science and Mechanics, Spring 1980,
published an article "Amazing Magnet-Powered Motor" about the Johnson
patent. The article tells of his
difficulties in having the device patented. The patent problem was solved when
Johnson took working models of his device to the patent office. The magazine Science 83, May, published
an article ridiculing perpetual motion machines, one of them was the Johnson
motor. The Science article purports
to quote from the prior Science and Mechanics article about Johnson. Because I had both articles, I compared
them, then called the author of the Science 83 article. When I stated that the information that
he quoted was not in the prior article, he hung up saying, "I will not be
interrogated by you." The editor of
Science 83 also declined to speak with me.
[Comment:
Others have informed me that there are three other permanent magnet motor
patents.]
15. The Moray device. Tom Moray, in the late 20's, 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
80's, 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 staffer gave me a letter to
Congressman Paul from Tom Bearden, and the 40‑page document attached to the
letter. The document is a book that
Mr. Bearden has written. In this
book, Mr. Bearden states that the Moray device could produce 1.5 megawatts of
power. Also that the Russians had
adapted the Moray device to power a weapon. The weapon statement is supported by a
drawing from "Aviation Week and Space Technology", July 28,
1980.
[Comment:
Do you think that the local power company could justify a price increase if the
power came from a field around the earth?
This book was also missing from the LOC in 1990.]
16. The Energy Machine of Joe Newman. I have spoken with Joe many times over
several years. He has recently
published the seventh edition of "The Energy Machine of Joseph Newman" (ISBN
0-9613855-7-7). The book is
available from: Joseph Westly Newman, Route 1, Box 52, Lucedale, Mississippi,
39452, Phone (601) 947‑7174.
[Comment:
I have no doubts that his machine works as he describes it. To learn of the problems that this man
has had with "The Establishment," read his book. Joe filed suit against the U.S. Patent
office because they would not grant him a patent. According to Joe's book, pages 274 to
279, the Court appointed a Special Master, Mr. William E. Schuyler, a former
Commissioner of the U.S. Patent Office, to advise the Court. The findings of the Special Master were
that Mr. Newman had invented a machine that had more output than input. The Court refused to accept the
findings. I urge you to read this
471-page book. This machine is not
"bogus" as stated by others. On
February 5, 1996, I was one of several hundred people, in Mobile, AL, to see the
Newman Energy Machine in operation.
The machine was pumping water while running a power meter, similar to the
one on your house, backwards.]
17. Cold Fusion. Despite the rejection of
some in the USA, cold fusion is a going operation in other places. The monthly magazine "New Energy News,”
P.O. Box 58639, Salt Lake City, UT 84158-8639, has information on many
successful results in cold fusion.
The magazine also has information on "free energy
devices".
18. "The Energy Non-Crisis,” published in
1980 by Worth Publishing Co., P.O. Box, 1243, Wheatridge, CO 80033, is written
by Chaplain Lindsey Williams.
Chaplain Williams was on the Alaska Pipeline during the construction and
got so fed-up with the deliberate lies of the media; he came back to tour the "lower 48", and
tell the truth. According to
Chaplain Williams, (Chapter 16) Gull Island has a pool of oil as big as, and
maybe bigger, than Purdhoe Bay. Our
Government ordered ARCO "... to seal the documents, withdraw the rig, cap the
well, and not release the information about the Gull Island find." A videotape of a speech that Chaplain
Williams gave to a group at Salt Lake City, about 1980, is possibly available
from: The National Center For
Constitutional Studies, 1-800-388-4512.
[Comment:
I sent the Williams tape and a lot of other information to our current Secretary
of Energy. The response that I received, after a second letter, was,
essentially, no response.]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I
hope that this information will raise questions as to why we are dependent on
foreign oil. All our government has
to do, to take more money from our pockets, is to have an energy crisis or raise
the cost of energy. The only
financial interest that I have in any of above devices is that of a concerned
consumer who is tired of the deliberate lies and
cover-ups.
