Cars Come the Water Here Jules Verne to Yull Brown - An Urban Myth Come True gas to implode, forming water. “None of the gas companies will talk to us, because they sell oxy-acetylene,” said Professor Brown at the Interna- tional Trade Fair. You may have heard about the work of Professor Yull Brown, whose work has been detailed in the Press for the past twelve years (see NEXUS #7). Astoundingly, despite the fact that he has developed a pollution-free energy system which replaces fossil fuels with WATER as an energy source, his work has received many setbacks, from death threats to overt hostility from gas and fuel corporations. — “ - = ase VY C CUMUIUE LU ECU!

The nature of this energy is to be found in the complex chain reactions which are involved in the creating of a relatively small amount of elec- \icity to produce energy in the form of a gas he calls Brown’s gas. One Kwh of electricity produces 340 litres of Brown’s gas. It burns faster than any other gas mix - the flame front propa- gates at 3 kilometres per second, compared with only 10 metres per second for traditional welder’s gas, oxy-acetylene.
