Show COMMUNICATION Bdltor The Offdn St.indard-E:im- "VhpugM you mlKht be interested In knowing Of rxw, new rlovices that i have perfected, both principles you can demonstrate rlznt at our desk with a comb of thb non-metal type j ,ml a common magnet. There hus been considerable speculation specu-lation in certain eltlei regarding the h.-si nuthod of eliminating smoke ill tho Cltiea that are bothered with imoke will . all pn thou e I Irlcai englnt-ers and have them erect over each smoke stack a plate glass, or U it Is too hot for glass, they can use mica, or even metal, and arrange this plate In such a manner that It can be I charged with static electricity, tbey will find that every particle of the, unt.urnori materials In the gases will . be attracted to the plate in the same manner that magnet will attract Iron' tilings, i nanhoi co into details here fur itn construction of such a device, but will give proof of the fact ihat -uch a b v. mild w ork successfully. successful-ly. Carbon is the main 1'iirt that we Oe nod cull smoke, however, there arc I some other materials present also , Now If we could collect this carbon and other materials from the burn ing gases there wouiu pe no swunoi j from ot how this can i- accomplished can be demonstrated In the following I manner. Take coal dust, eoot, sand. I and ony other fine matoriale. Place J them, after mixing, on a sheet of paper. pa-per. Tne Idea of the pauer Is to keep , the k . b un and to better note what ' happenSi then lake a common comb, rubber, or any other non-molulltc comb anil pass il rapidly through the hair iii one dlrc-eiion, then hold It over yuui p per containing the smoke ingrcdl-. ingrcdl-. ntS, von will find that they arc al-kCted al-kCted tp the t omb in the same jnan-ner jnan-ner I Iroil l attracted by the magnet. ' Now to eliminate smoke It IS only ne- cessary to have a static magnet placed i In such a manner that it will draw all theKo objectionable materials. Tho mavnei can be r.niiiv charged and nix Harped by the ue of high frequency fre-quency Qiifvent. The second device th-it 1 have developed devel-oped Is an Instrument wherein various vari-ous types Of pivoted needles, such us a compass, are attracted by bodies of copper, oil, coal or tho like. To demonstrate the principle of this . M ill mil. ihni tin- rom- mi ii Inagnet attracts only iron, steel, oxygen, and few other materials, m alloys. You will find, by trying 'ho magnetized comb thm it will attract an) known form ot matter, anything that SXlfftS can be magnetised and in : turn will attract other substances- The magnetised comb will attract uil known tonne of matter as abovu stated, stat-ed, and which can be demonstrated by Simply trving anything ou can think i.". Cindy divide any material, such as metals, dirt, sugar, sale, pepper, or even the. human body, and you will find that the magnetized comb will attract them Liquids, and ggSSS are also attracted by the static magnet. Now from the very fact that the common com-mon steel magnet attracts only like malerluls. or materials having the name characteristics, and on the other hand the static magnet attracts all forms of matter, It is easy to under-I under-I stand that a w ide range of magnets ; can be constructed. What I want to I I polht out Is tho fact that the steel! magnet is in every respect a magnet exhibiting qualities like the inagnet - i I lsed comb, yet Its power of attract-1 1 lng matter is limited to certain forms or matter. Now suppose we want a! magnet that would be attracted by or i 1 would attract coal. The same would apply to all materials, thus a magnet can bo constructed that will be attracted, at-tracted, and will attract gold. A llttlo thought on this matter will prove the truth of the above statements and the egperlmons above outlined will demonstrate demon-strate the principle. If 1 hud mv patent on the discoveries, discov-eries, I would be only too glad to give you full working data of the above devices, de-vices, but owing to the fact that 1 have not as yet any patei prot. . timi you will realize It is impossible for me 10 glvo out the full secrets of my Inventions outlined above. I hope, what I have disclosed will proe tn- ins. and if published, will help i.tb, i- experimenters I do not know Whether the fa.ct that static charges will magnetize and attract all known forms of matter is known. If not known, and 1 have not been able to ' find mention of it In works on elec-l elec-l trfl "I "Clenre that I have been able to look over. Its discovery alone will be welcome news to scientific people. I have absolutely demonstrated and proved that all Moulds, and every known form of matter is attracted hi' ! a body that has been charged bv ta-, ta-, tic electricity. 1 have also demonstrated demonstrat-ed and proved to my own satisfaction I tb.it tho methods of charging a body with statu electricity determined the materials that the body will attract, " thus I am giving you a further Insight t regarding my discoveries. Trusting the above may prove inter-e inter-e esting. I am, r Very truly yours. WJL.I.IAM HOPPIEi Montollo. Nov |
