...gasoline in automobiles was demonstrated to be practicable by Imbert, a young French engineer, at Lyons. The charcoal is carried in the regular gasoline tank. It is ignited by a piece of burning waste, giving off a gas consisting largely of carbon monoxide, with azote, carbonic acid gas and hydrogen, which is drawn through a pipe to the carburetor. On the way it is cooled and freed from dust. In the carburetor the gas is mixed with air, as in a gasoline engine, whence it is drawn into the cylinders. To develop the same power as gasoline, a larger tank...
...Hydrogen The Basic Element...
After a century of intensified research, physicists are coming back to the old hypothesis of William Prout that all matter is made up of one fundamental stuff--hydrogen. The laws of conservation of mass and energy, and the law of limited transmutability of matter, too, are in a state of flux. Calvin Page disregards completely the efforts of such eminent workers as Rutherford, Aston, J. J. Thomson, Soddy, and Millikan, and boldly launches forth upon the exploitation of his formula, phlogistic in its nature, intended to explain all natural phenomena in a "common-sense" way. He is backed...
...front. All the helium now being produced is utilized by the Army and Navy. Other sources are known to the Government, their location being kept secret. Helium is an inert gas of great light ness and non-inflammability, present in the air in minute quantity. Airships inflated with hydrogen or other gases are subject to the danger of being exploded by anti-aircraft guns or engine accidents; helium is immune to such catastrophes. Helium was first dis covered, in 1868, by Sir J. Norman Lockyer, the astronomer, by spectroscopic analysis, as one of the ingredients...
...chemical distinction between atoms is governed by the number of charges in the nucleus, which is the same as the number of electrons in its system. Hydrogen, the lightest known element, has one charge and one electron, like the earth and moon...
