Show Turn Gadget and Motor Runs on Half Dozen Kinds of F' An Invention allowing a standard make motorcycle to use any of a half dozen mineral or vegetable fuels with only a slight hand adjustment was demonstrated by Stefan Wit-kowskl, Wit-kowskl, Polish engineer living in Geneva, Switzerland, before some fifty fif-ty technicians and reporters and an Italian observer. The omnivorous motorcycle consumed con-sumed gasoline, gas oil, kerosene, fuel oil, and alcohol, doing about fifty miles per hour. The Inventor says the motor -will run just as well on soybean oil and even operate on olive oil, though Its low caloric value makes the latter uneconomic. Witkowskl also has Installed his Invention on the motor' of a French standard automobile which has run, he says, more than 60,000 miles. The Invention suppresses the carburetor, substituting for It what Is termed an Vinjector," working with a pump. |
