Show A NEW SUN MOTION. Professor Stevenson Has Completed a Wonderful Won-derful Invention After Years of Labor. Professor E. E. Stevenson, a well known educator and writer of Quincy, Mass., announces the completion of an invention on which he has been laboring for years, which, he says, will revolutionize revolu-tionize the present methods of obtaining motive power. Professor Stevenson has pursued his investigations and experiments experi-ments in - Quincy all winter and has at last brought his idea to a head. Professor Profess-or Stevenson said: "The forces which have thus far been utilized by the genius of man are the laws of gravitation and chemical reaction. In the broad field oi research and investigation we find the possibilities of the future in molecular attraction, musical vibration and the refraction re-fraction of light. "To understand the theory on which I have been laboring you must understand the corelation of forces or the transmutation transmu-tation of energies. We use force to produce pro-duce light. It is upon the reverse of this theory that I have labored, and my experiments are at last proving satisfactory. satisfac-tory. I have found that the heat of an ordinary kitchen stove generates energy sufficient, if controlled, to drive the machinery ma-chinery of the Pillsbury mills, and the flames of a Bunson electric burner would furnish power to light by electricity 1,000 lights." In Professor Stevenson's experimental machine, however, the heat of the sun alone has been used. This machine consists con-sists of three brass cylinders connected by means of tubes and valves with a glass reflector behind the central cylinder. cylin-der. A piston moving laterally connecting connect-ing with a balance wheel gives the motion. mo-tion. The shaft on which the balance wheel hangs passes through the end of thejnachine and contains a drive pulley, which makes the force available. This machine is operated by the sun, working with great rapidity. Boston Journal. |
