...distribute, a new synthetic motor fuel to be called "synthol," made from coal, petroleum or lignite. To burn synthol, a new automobile motor had been devised, the most powerful of its size, very light, needing no gear shift, emitting no poisonous fumes, having no carbon troubles, getting 50 miles per fuel gallon, more like a steam engine than an internal combustion engine. The General Motors Corporation would manufacture this motor, install it in all its cars (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oakland, Oldsmobile). So said Dr. T. A. Boyd, General Motors Research Department...
...Examiners, I hasten to set your writer on the right path. We teach that the true cause of death by drowning, asphyxiation (smoke or gas), or electric shock is paralysis of the diaphragm. A man requires oxygen, of which the air contains 20%, and he must eliminate carbon dioxide gas, the reaction of which itself will paralyze or inhibit his diaphragm...
...telescribe, and the mimeograph; the megaphone; an instantaneous vote-recording machine which Congress rejected because "one of the greatest weapons in the hands of a minority to prevent bad legislation . . . is the roll-call"; the microtasimeter, for detecting slight changes of temperature; the world's first "talking-machine"; carbon filaments for incandescent electric light bulbs; the "Edison effect," an electric valve; the motion-picture camera ; metal filaments for bulbs; the taximeter ; an electric street car and numerous minor contrivances that have brought the number of U.S. patents in his name to over...
Wood Alcohol. German manufacturers of synthetic methanol (wood alcohol), from water gas, threaten the $100,000,000 hardwood distillation industry of the U. S. with extinction. Germans have also manufactured liquid motor fuels by a similar process, which consists in passing a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen over a catalytic agent at fairly high temperature and very high pressure.?Dr. Franz Fischer, Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, Mulheim, Ruhr, Germany...
...West Babylon, N. Y., experimenters announced the development of a new illuminating gas. The raw material used: crude oil or refinery residuum. The product: a hydrogen and carbon combination containing no carbon monoxide because manufactured at low temperatures. The product's qualities : non-asphyxiating because void of carbon monoxide ; content of 1,600 British thermal (heat) units as against 525 to 585 units in most illuminating gases. From 7 gal. of refinery residuum are produced 1,000 cu. ft. of the new gas and a by-product of 1½ gal. of gasoline high in ethylene content...
