Newspaper and Magazine Reports which
have been written over the past 50 years.

A. “Doubling the Automobile Mileage Per Gallon,”
The Scientific American Digest, March 1926, page 185.

This report describes the Bursley-Trask Fuel Adjuster . A
centrifugal carburetor that partially gasifies the fuel droplets
and make for marked efficiency. Their findings show an

“average of seven runs without the adjuster- - -19.2 miles per gallon…”

“average of five runs with the adjuster - - -34.2 miles per gallon.”

An added benefit of this invention was a decreased in carbon buildup
and decreased pollution !

B. “Exceptional Mileage Claimed For New Carburetor”,
Mass Transportation, December 1936, page 406.

This carburetor was the invention of Charles Nelson Pogue, of
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

“Test made with passenger automobiles indicates that cars
equipped with this new carburetor will operate 200 miles per gallon.
Although the exceptional mileage is of greatest importance, the new
carburetor is said to have many
other advantages in the way of reducing maintenance.”

The Pogue carburetor system received widespread news
coverage in 1935 and 1936.

In the course of our research, we have personally interviewed
several older citizens (from Canada and the U.S.) who remember
the Pogue test and widespread publicity…. some were eyewitnesses.

C. “100 Miles On One Gallon Of Gas? Chicago
Members Say It’s Possible” The Machinist, October 8, 1953 page 7.

This I.A.M. Lodge 48 member-inventor says 100- 400 miles per gallon
of gasoline is indeed possible. You can see a picture of the concepts found in the Pogue invention are noted in this system.

Any large city public library should have this magazine available
for inspection.

D. “The Search For A No-Waste Carburetor”
by Bruce Wennerstrom Mechanix Illustrated , July 1974, Page 46.

This report covers the account of an Indiana inventor whose
carburetor is reported to get 60 miles per gallon of gasoline…. some say the figure is
closer to 100 MPG. The M.I. reported witnessed the test conducted on a 17 year old Ford
Station Wagon. The concept of this carburetion system is to accomplish a "complete
vaporization of fuel".

E. “Over 100 Mile On A Gallon Of Gas” by Gregory Jones,
Argosy August 1977, pages 23 - 25 +

This magazine was not available in the public library. However, one
can obtain a copy of this report by writing:

Popular Publications, Inc. 420 Lexington Ave. New York, New York

Already this report invention has received attention from several
newspapers, magazines and radio/ television reports. Also the invention has drawn phone
calls and personal; visits form the automobile industry, oil company representatives,
Patent Office examiners and from the Federal Energy Research and Development
Administration.

The Energy Research and Development Administration officials who
viewed this invention gave a guarded evaluation, but was certain of one thing… and that
is this was not a hoax.

What are the claims ?

With this invention, the eight cylinder engine will get 90 - 120
miles per gallon of gasoline. A six cylinder engine will average 140 - 200 miles per
gallon , and a four cylinder engine will average 260 - 360 miles per gallon of gasoline !

All those involved in the Interstate highway test runs found no gimmicks.

The raw gasoline is first heated, then introduced into the engine in
a warm gaseous form. Sophisticated absorptive surfaces, lines and tanks are required. Yet
the invention can be easily adapted to the conventional car. The tests described in recent
news reports where on a 1970 Ford with a V-8 engine.

One engineer from a nearby University was quoted to say, " I
don’t know why somebody didn’t try this before. He’s eliminated the carburetor and
achieved what the gasoline internal combustion engine was supposed to do all along - - -
to operate off fumes. … He’s found a way to make it work.”

Only by reading the full context and looking at the photographs and charts
can one really grasp the full significance and worth of such claims.

Personal Testimony

We include only the first name of these individuals to protect their privacy.

A. One Saturday morning we interviewed a purchasing agent employed at a local
hospital. He said he drove from Los Angeles to Chicago and back in a 1964
Chevrolet with a V-8 engine. He estimated the average freeway speed was 70 miles
per hour(in the 1960’s). The test car would constantly get 85 miles per gallon of
gasoline. This was not a factory carburetor. It was a special-built system,
invented by Mr. Michael ______.

B. One spring day we interviewed the owner of a service station in a small
western Kansas town . He has been in the gas station business for over 40 years in
the same location. One steady customer bought a 1949 Ford that consistently
averaged over 80 miles per gallon of gasoline. The station owner saw this
carburetor many times….. he does not doubt its existence.

C. Mr. D_________ owns a tire and alignment garage. He personally knows of a
man and his carburetor invention. The inventor was a friend and customer for years
in this Oklahoma town. His car averaged 60 miles per gallon of gasoline.

We interview inventors:

D. Mr.S. told us about his invention. On a Mercury V-8 engine he attached his
device and regularly attained 38 miles per gallon. He did not patent the
invention. This man worked for a Ford dealership. Knowledge of his carburetor was
widespread in this small western city. In this particular case, a Ford
representative made a special trip to study the carburetor. He made drawings and
diagrams. Mr. S. doesn’t know what the motor company has done with the idea.

E. Another Mr. S. (a retired mechanic) has a special device he has
invented. Also, he modifies the stock carburetor. He has used this principle for years
and on several vehciles. His present car is a 1973 Ford LTD with a V - 8 engine. His
mileage is double the figure obtained by the factory carburetor.

F. As previously mentioned, we interviewed those involved with a
very recent invention in which the V- 8 Ford test car gets over 100 miles per gallon of
gasoline. Their test results were witnessed by many. Engineers and mechanics attest to the
feasibility of this system.

PATENTS

There are quite a number of patents for such inventions
on file in the U.S. Patent Office available for all who
want to do a patent search.

We must conclude that with so many patents, tests and eye-witness
accounts there must be more than just a grain of truth to
the cover-ups and facts involved.

RESISTANCE

We know that what is written at this point draws great resistance
from those engineers and mechanics who believed it requires a prescribed air/as mixture
ratio to obtain a specific amount of power… and no more. In other words there is a limit
as to how far one gallon of gasoline will propel a car (let’s say a large size V-8
auto). Usually this "limit" is the miles per gallon figured advertised by the
auto manufacturer. A common mileage rating for a big car is "14 miles per
highway".

One questioning engineer, upon learning about our research, wanted to study our
Pogue patents. After a few days study his opinion has been changed. His
conclusion now was "it certainly appears possible to greatly improve gas
mileage with this different concept of carburetion".

Can one gallon of gasoline propel a car 100 miles ?

How much power is there in one gallon of gasoline ?

" Were all the energy of one gallon of gasoline to be harnessed for the
performance of a single purpose, experiments show that it could be made to provide
sufficient heat to raise the temperature of 15,000 gallons of water one degree.
Put to work, it could furnish enough force to lift 50,000 tons of coal one foot
off the ground raise the Woolworth building five and a half inches. Applied to a
small auto-mobile, the power is great enough to elevated a light car 450 miles in
the air or to propel it at twenty miles an hour for 450 miles over a level
road". Popular Mechanics, July 1924, page 14.

A General Motors executive said this:

" There’s enough power in one gallon of gasoline, if you
could utilize it all for mere car push, not taking into consideration engine friction and
so forth, to drive a small car on a level paved road, at twenty miles an hour, from
Chicago to Detroit, That’s about three hundred miles." Collier’s October 5, 1929.
page 10.

Here’s another way to look at the same concept.

" Only 10% of the heat of the gasoline was being converted into
push for the car ." Science Digest , November 1942, page 6.

This of course means that 90% of the "heat energy" stored
in a gallon of gasoline is wasted when it is pumped into the conventional automobile
engine.
And:

“Today’s auto engine wastes 75% to 80% of the gasoline
energy…” Science News Letter, October 2, 1948, page 221.

Or:

“An internal-combustion is essentially an air engine. It pumps
air. In less than 50 miles, a 332 cubic-inch Ford engine driving a
2.69 : 1 axle will pump enough air to fill an eight room house. The
fuel, of course, goes along in suspension.” “… Raw, indigestible
fuel slobbers into the cylinders — into some more than others.”
“… Slobbering engines are fuel hogs.” Popular Science,
December 1957, page 79.

What about the cars of the 1970’s?

“At its best conventional automobile engine is an inefficient
device. In terms of converting the energy content of gasoline into
mechanical power, even a top-notch V-8 may throw away three horses
out of every four.”

CONCLUSION

We must use the reasonable-man approach to this subject.

There is ample written documentation, even from the auto manufactures, that such inventions do in fact exist ….inventions that can greatly improve gasoline mileage …even to what we might consider the phenomenal.
