Here’s something for those believe in conspiracy theories. For decades, many people have believed that fuel saving devices like the 200-mpg carburetor are practical, but suppressed by corporations interested in selling gasoline and gasoline guzzling vehicles.
For example, in 1932, Canadian Charles Nelson Pogue invented a carburetor that was tested by Ford and Winnipeg Motor Company of Canada. Instead of using conventional methods of delivering liquid gasoline into the engine, he created a superheating device that first boiled the fuel into a dry vapor. It was documented that his system got over 200 mpg. It sent shock waves through the Stock Market as oil shares plunged at the announcement of the results. The carburetor was never produced and, mysteriously, Pogue became a wealthy manager of an oil filter company.
Fast forward to the 1970s, and the first of the gasoline shortages. In El Paso, young inventor Tom Ogle claimed that he got over 100 mpg in his “Oglemobile”, a Ford V8 equipped with his fuel vaporizing system. Articles in the El Paso Times reported on his invention including test drives of the Oglemobile. It also reported that a Shell Oil Co. representative asked him what he would do if someone offered him a very large sum of money -- reportedly $25 million. He said he wasn’t interested and was going to bring his invention to market. Unfortunately, shortly afterward Mr. Ogle died. Reportedly he succumbed, either from a drug and/or alcohol overdose.
These two were far from the only inventions promising drastic improvements in fuel economy. Recently, David Steckling, president of Vapor Systems Technology, did an extensive patent search of inventions that used vapor systems claiming dramatic increases in fuel efficiency. Because liquid gasoline doesn’t combust, it must be first converted to a vapor. That’s the purpose of a carburetor, or today, fuel injectors.
In over 400 hours researching U.S. patents Steckling, whose company is preparing to build its own fuel vaporizing devices, found over 900 patents for vaporizing systems. Many of these were originated or owned by automobile manufacturers, automotive suppliers, oil companies, and the U.S. government. Steckling believes, like many others before him, that a properly designed vapor system is the key to a dramatic improvement in fuel economy. He says with the right technology, he intends to publicly demonstrate what vapor technology can do it by driving a 1997 Toyota Camry, "From San Diego to New York City on a single tank of gas."
As an offshoot of his research on Vapor Systems Technology he has produced professional quality CD that includes copies 920 of these patents. Of these, about 650 are expired patents, so they can be built, or even sold, by anyone. While written in patent-style language, they include detailed information, drawings, claims and research results, building recommendations and helpful hints from the inventors. The information is here so you can draw your own conclusion and even build the devices to see if they really give the incredible fuel economy claimed. The CD includes a search engine to help navigate through the huge number of patents. The CD is being sold for $24.95 plus shipping and handling. The CD comes with a 10-day money-back guarantee.
