-----------------------------------------------------------------
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

-----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
