that undermines the current force foundation. The powerful head honchos of
the automobile business or the oil business purchase up the creation to keep it
off the business sector, or have the hapless creator rubbed out on the off chance that he declines to
take care of business.
The best known such story includes John Andrews, an innovator from
McKeesport, Pa., who once persuaded the U.S. Naval force he could turn water
into fuel.
He drove a Packard car into the New York Navy Yard in 1916 only a
couple of months before America announced war on Germany. With him was John
Carney, a Pennsylvania broker who had empowered Andrews. They said
they had driven the distance from Philadelphia on water and mystery chemicals.
Incredulous, yet fascinated, the Navy welcomed Andrews to show his
claim with a speedboat motor.
Andrews delivered a void gallon can and asked the yard's senior
designer to present to him a can of faucet water. The innovator turned his
back on the onlookers and busied himself with chemicals from his handbag.
Before long he turned and gave over the can, now half loaded with fluid, and
a half basin of water.
The substance of both holders were filled the motor's fuel tank.
At long last Andrews created a little vial of green fluid from his vest
pocket, shook six or seven drops into the blend and began the motor.
The engine sputtered at to start with, yet Andrews balanced the carburetor, and
the motor ran easily at 75 percent of appraised force until the fuel was
expended.
Awed, the Navy welcomed Andrews back the following day for a more
stringent test. This time they obliged him to make his arrangements in
a little stay with no furniture or channel funnel; and they gave him a container
of ocean water to work with.
The outcomes were the same as the day preceding.
An exceptional exhibition was organized Secretary of Navy Josephus
Daniels in Washington. Be that as it may, Andrews never appeared. Naval force Intelligence
supposedly directed an unsuccessful quest for the creator. They
found just that Andrews bought chemicals well known to secondary school
science understudies.
It was assumed that Andrews had been purchased off or slaughtered, his equation
smothered.
Soon after U.S. passage into World War II, and oil got to be crucial, an
Universal News Service journalist found the tricky Andrews
living on a homestead in Pennsylvania.
Andrews said he had surrendered attempting to advance his fuel in light of the fact that not one or the other
the United States nor Britain was intrigued. He had not requested
cash, nor needed any.
He had overlooked the equation, he said, yet would reproduce it if the
government needed it. Nobody drew nearer him so the equation went to the
grave with him in 1953.
Is it accurate to say that it was a chemist's triumph squandered, or an enormous lie?
Regardless of now. The field is still open for a progressive
leap forward. The inspiration is extraordinary. Popularity and fortune anticipate.
We may yet be spared by some irregular virtuoso tinkering in his storm cellar
with coal dust and bicarbonate of pop.
