Show Wonderful Test of New Process for Generating There waa wu an interesting test teet of power and heat yesterday afternoon in inthe Inthe the basement basemen o Or of the Commercial block in this It was mem members hers bers of the th corporation recently formed in this city to utilize the late dis discovery discovery discovery covery for generating light heat and power from vaporized vaporised coal mal oil Up to this time moat most of the experiments made e here h l were in the production of light and very ery many man people of the city have become convinced through these ex cx experiments that the t th discovery has hea great value as a light producer But yes yesterday yesterday tests teste were made In the production of heat and all who witnessed them are convinced that in this field the has more value than thanin in the field of light The Commercial bl k ie Ic Seated heated by a coal furnace and the engineer stated that s oo pounds of coal coe were Consumed q for this purpose every twelve and hours When the new machine was substituted for the coal in the furnace the register indicated two pounds po of steam In a few minute this was wae w increased to 10 five pounds by the new newS device and andS S this with the furnace doors wide open The machine by which this result was J rought brought about Judge Colburn said cost 50 The Th whole contrivance contrivance couI cou ll have been carried in a small valise o aU e It consisted of a small oil tank a 8 piece of ordinary iron tube and the little device for transforming tr the oil into vapor v por The oil was fed through a very small email copper tube and aid water was supplied through a s small rubber hose The tube was run into the open furnace f about sixteen inches the vapor ws ignited and that was all an the spectators rs could see A test was made on a high pressure boater boler earlier in the day and the register ran up from fifteen to sixty pounds in five minutes and people began getting away in fear of this mysterious force but it was as easily regulated as an ordin ordinary ordinary ordinary ary lamp Among Amon those present mt at t the experiment in ut the Commercial look were J T R Walker Witcher Jones Jone Jon L LR LH H Farnsw rth P J Moran Judge judg E F Colburn and the inventor No estimate could be made nafle ml pe as to the amount of oil sed for the production of given amount Jr ft energy as that had never neer been estimated but it seemed to be the universal opinion that the new ne force furce would in time tiDe take the place of coal on vessels els ve ve in many m ny mining dis where coal oI te Ia hard bard to get and a d in many other places because of its simplicity |
