INCORPORATED

Adelaide Branch

Welcome to the February ‘96 edition of the newsletter. I am once again computerless and sothanks must go to Peter for the loan of his machine, and Ashley for the help in writing thismonth’s copy. This year has been really slow as far as new information and activities,especially from interstate where nothing has been heard so far. Maybe everyone is still inholiday mode.

JANUARY MEETING

The January meeting’s attendance was down a bit from previous months with 20 peoplecoming along, possibly the result of holiday hangovers. The meeting began at 8.10PM withDan presenting the Treasurers report - we have a very healthy bank balance of $380 andeven with payment to Peter for the Extraordinary Science subscription, we still have over$200 left. Next came the Secretaries report in which I presented the latest ASTRO NetworksVic. news sheet, plus information regarding the upcoming UFO Expo in Melbourne to beheld in the third week in February. George has been asked to talk at this conference, so anyothers wishing to go may want to connect with George regarding sharing travel expenses.

The meeting then went onto general discussion in which I reported on the performance ofthe fuel saving devices fitted to my car. I have noted that the economy increasesdramatically on very hot days which indicates that the vaporisation theory is a valid one.Average economy is up around 40 - 42 MPG, a big change from the original 28 MPG! Theprevious problem of rough idling, caused by an air leak in the heat affected rubber hose,has now been corrected by fitting a Teflon hose to the hot air line. Randal continued thissubject with an explanation of how he has fitted a microswitch version of a fuel cut off onhis wife’s car. This has given an extra 50 Kms out of each tankful. Andrew gave adescription of a new steam generator that he is planning to install on his 2 litre Sigma -hopefully we will see some results by next meeting. Damien tried his sales pitch on thegroup with the Royale engine additive. This bonds to the pistons and cylinder walls, puttinga positive charge on both and reducing friction, but it needs to be added at each oil change.Find a Neways dealer, give him or her $25 and it’s yours!

Tony’s input from this months Internet gatherings, included plans for a new device based onHenry Morays work (see article later in this newsletter); an item regarding recent Japaneseinterest in the Howard Johnson magnetic motor patents, which expire soon; using OPTOisolators to pick up scalar waves, and his Magneto Electroencephalograph Sensing device

that he is currently working on. Roger then asked for assistance in locating a book called “ACure for all Diseases” by Hulda Clark. He then very generously offered to provide the groupwith a TV set (for our increased viewing pleasure) in return for one years subscription -cheap at twice the price I thought! Michael has agreed to store it between meetings so nowDino won’t have to squint so hard to see the videos.

Our guest for the evening, Des Chilton, presented a talk on the TF Purifiner oil filtrationsystem for diesel and petrol motors. Although somewhat expensive at $535 for aconventional car, it is a very well designed and built system and for someone doing a lot ofkilometres per year it would be an excellent system. The California EPA have recommendedthe fitting of this system to all vehicles and a Mt Gambier trucking company were offered a1,000,000Km guarantee on their engines by an oil company and associated diesel enginecompany NOT to use the Purifiner system - so it obviously works and saves a lot of oil!!

Finally George gave part 3, in his series of talks on Fourth Dimensional Physics. This onewas subtitled “4D Origami” and was designed to target Dino by keeping him occupied forabout 20 minutes cutting paper into mobius strips. (I wonder if he got the message - aftergoing round and round in very interesting and twisted circles, you finally end up backwhere you started from - P.S. God says Hi Dino!!) The evening concluded with a BSRF videoon Free Energy followed by the usual drinks and chat with everyone leaving by midnight.

STIRLING CYCLE (PART 3)

This month we will look at some of the earlier history of how the Stirling engine cameabout. It was invented in 1816 by a Scottish minister, the Reverend Robert Stirling. He was26 years old at the time and was a noted classical scholar as well as an esteemed ministerand scientist - it sounds like he was an all-round smart arse. Stirling patented the design,which included an improvement called an economiser, used to regain waste heat from theprocess. The engine in Stirling’s patent is not only the first closed cycle air engine, but also aparticularly well designed one. The placement of the piston and the displacer in the samecylinder, allowing as it does a high compression ratio, is a preferred design, even today.Engines were built for water pumping etc. back in the early 1800’s, but because the hot partswere run at a continuously high temperature, lack of suitable materials caused constanttrouble with cracking and warping. These problems caused the eventual demise of theStirling engine at this time with steam engines giving increased power and reliability. Steamengines did not have the same metallurgical problems because they ran at much lowertemperatures.

There were other early types of hot air engines similar to the Stirling, the most famousbeing the Ericsson, invented by Swedish - American engineer, John Ericsson. These enginesdiffered from Stirling’s in that they were “open cycle” in that they did not use the same gasover and over again, but drew in fresh air for each cycle through a set of valves. Ericssonbuilt and sold many engines but once again problems occurred with high internaltemperatures causing many destroyed pistons and valves. By 1850 he had built severalsuccessful engines and by 1860 he had sold over 3000 engines around the world for lightindustrial use. In the 1870’s he produced the first “sun motors” using Stirling closed cycleengines having given up on the open design because of repeated valve failures.

Many other versions of this engine were built in many



different forms from water pumps to electricitygenerators to fans for cooling “modern houses”. Theother major inventor and engine producer in this areawas A. K. Rider of Philadelphia, who made a Stirlingcycle engine with two power pistons and no displacer.One piston was in a hot cylinder and the other was ina cool cylinder. The cylinders were connected by asmall passageway containing thin iron plates used tocool the gas. The two pistons were 90 degrees apart sothat when one piston was at the top of its stroke, theother one was half way up its stroke. These engineswere used extensively throughout America forpumping water.

Next month we shall progress onto some of the more recent history of this engine.

TF PURIFINER OIL FILTRATION SYSTEM

As referred to in the meeting report, here is some moredetailed information on the TF Purifiner that Des Chiltondiscussed. The aim of the device is to eliminate the problemof frequent oil changes and consequent disposal ofcontaminated oil, reducing environmental waste and savingmoney at the same time.

Contaminated oil enters through the metering jet at a lowmeasured flow rate (approx. 6 gallons/hour) to assuremaximum solid particle retention and to prevent theformation of channels through the filter. The oil passesthrough the replaceable filter canister where long strandcotton fibres trap particles down to 1 micron in size(compared with 25 microns for full flow filters). The filteralso absorbs and neutralises acids and sulphur compounds.

The filtered oil then enters the TF Purifiner’s patented heated evaporation chamber where itis heated to approx. 195 F, and thus fuel, water and coolant are evaporated and immediatelyvented before they can re-condense. The newly refined oil is gravity fed back into thecrank-case with all dangerous contaminants removed, while proper viscosity is maintainedand oil additives remain intact.

“SENSIBLE” DIESEL GENERATOR

Sydney’s Parliament House has recently converted their standby diesel generator so that itcan economically run for 15 hours per day, 5 days per week, producing electricity and hotwater for the building’s occupants. The 700 KW, V12 Cummins diesel engine was originallyinstalled to drive a generator to provide emergency power to Parliament House, the StateLibrary, and the Sydney Hospital. The machine was only run once a week to check that itwas in working order.

To minimise air pollution, the engine was converted to natural gas. The conventional andexpensive conversion normally requires a spark ignition to be fitted which means sparkplugs, coils, distributors and new heads. To avoid this expense, this machine was convertedby providing a gas feed into the fresh air induction system and leaving the engine runningon diesel. The extra fuel available from the gas makes the engine run faster, but thegovernor reduces the diesel feed so that the preset revolutions are maintained. This resultsin the engine burning about 90% gas and 10% diesel. (This is the same method that peopleare using on hydrogen/petrol hybrid systems.)



The cooling water for the engine, at about 90 degrees C, is passed through a heat exchangerto transfer this heat into the building’s hot water system. A second heat exchanger transfersheat from the exhaust gas, which leaves the engine at around 500 degrees C. This exchangertakes 80% of the available heat and leaves only enough heat to create sufficient stackvelocity to remove the exhaust gas. The two heat exchangers recover about 800 KW of whatwould otherwise be waste heat and use it to heat the building’s swimming pool, showersand in the air conditioning system.

The project cost $300,000 while savings of $140,000 per year gives a payback period of justover two years. It’s good to see the “establishment” actually doing some of the things we talkabout, with a result that is both conservationally and economically sound.

BATTERY MAX

The following is information gleaned by Roger from a vintage car swap meet in Victoriarecently :-

"At least 50% of batteries fail due to lack of use. The familiar problem of batteries notholding their charge, a condition which causes sulphating of the battery plates, drasticallyreduces the current capacity of the battery. This condition can be treated with a productcalled Battery Max, which will prolong the useful life of the battery, often by many years.The same treatment applied to a new battery will stop these symptoms appearing at all,giving maximum possible life. One may ask why this treatment is not more widely available,a cynical answer may be that manufacturers would rather sell more batteries. The additionof a small quantity of Battery Max to each cell of a lead acid battery will effectively removeor prevent cell sulphating. It is an odourless white powder classified as non-hazardous andnon-poisonous, although skin or eye contact should be avoided as the material is a mildirritant. It is supplied in a 24 gm plastic sachet together with a dispensing spoon, in anamount sufficient to treat up to a 12 plate car battery". Battery Max costs $8.00 per sachet,post paid. Bulk packs are $52.00 pp for 250 gm, or $92.00pp for 500gm, and is available fromOverlander Equipment, Box 129, Warrnambool, Victoria 3280. Tel. (055) 62 6362.

COLD FISSION GENERATOR

An American named Bruce Perrault claims he has discovered how to build a 'cold cathode'vacuum tube, similar to the one developed by Henry Moray. Perrault's tube uses chlorinegas and he claims he has a working prototype which produces 250Watts. He believes it isscaleable and has plans detailing one that might produce the 50KW which Moray achieved.The plans are being distributed through the International Tesla Society for $39.95. Theorder number is 700032. Their voice phone is 719-475-0918, or 800-397-0137 and their FAXis 719-475-0582.

In the present invention, new and novel improvements are apparent. The need for anenormous collector surface no longer exists. Transistors can now replace the outdatedspark gap and or high vacuum transmission tubes. The present invention efficientlyconverts ionising energy to voltages suitable for practical usage. A source of X-ray energy isprovided by the present invention. This source can be artificially generated and will notproduce toxic radioisotopes. Converted energy in the present invention may be directlyavailable for driving motors, lighting, production of heat and used in electrochemistry.



Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, (1) consists of a gas tight vessel. Provision is madefor an inlet tube (2) to introduce chlorine gas (3). Provision is made for iron sulphideelectrode (4) and zinc electrode (5). Any number of electrode couples, or gas combinationsmay be utilised and still not depart from the spirit of this invention. A source of ionisation(6) is provided. The chlorine gas (3) must become ionised in order for it to bombard theelectrode (5). When the chlorine gas (3) is ionised it becomes a conductor, its conductivity isa measure of its ionisation. There are a number of ways to ionise the chlorine gas (3). X-rayenergies emitted from the sun will ionise the chlorine gas (3). Radioactive materials willionise the chlorine gas (3). Pulsating high-voltage produced by an electrical transformerwill ionise the chlorine gas (3). If an electronic ionising source (6) is used, once started, theenergy produced by said invention will keep the electronic circuit energised. Initially theelectronic circuit must be primed by an outside power source (7). When said inventionbegins generating electrical energy the external source (7) is no longer needed. A smallrechargeable battery may be used as the external source (7). Said invention will keep theexternal source (7) fully charged.

The output can be varied from a non-pulsating, direct current, to a high frequency pulsatingoutput. The output pulsation rate is varied by the rate in which the electronic ionisingsource (6) pulsates. The pulsation rate of the ionising source (6) is determined by its circuitcharacteristics.

If you want to pursue this device any further, the full text and drawings are available in theASTRO library.

RAINWATER WITH SUNSHINE

Japan suffered through a searing drought in 1994 and thedriest areas tended to be the furthest from sources of



electricity needed to keep the irrigation pumps going. AShimane University Professor has a solution. His storagesystem collects rainwater during the wet season and thenuses solar power during the dry spells to pump the waterwhere it is needed. To the traditional rain-barrel he hasadded new wrinkles. Solar Cells and a battery collect andstore energy while a filter and a syphon remove impurities.Although the water still isn’t fit to drink, it is fine forwatering small farm plots. Two Japanese companies arecurrently making larger systems which can hold more than750 gallons.
