Below are a few inventions that could or could have changed the way we do things
The Bascle carburetor
was 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.Progue 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 fuel tank and then vapour fed into carburetor several inventors got positive results, but 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 a 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 a Scottish inventor Robert Sterling designed an egine 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. Rumuor has it that a device of the biblical dimension was built in the seventies but found it 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 wa spun. He claims to have built a disk which glowed pink and then disappeared. He also claimed his disk designs created a vaccum around his craft and once free'd of gravitation attraction forces, it disappeared. Also claims to have built several others.
Laithwaite Anti Gravity
Prof Eric Laithwaite devised an anti gravity machine consisting of two spinning gyro scopes. 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 produce 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 foot 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 orchadist 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 max 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 nineteen thirties inventors become interested in the pyramids and though it was one big water pump. several models were built between years 40' to 60' and functioned Despite patent being granted it never took off.
