HOW TO RUN YOUR CAR ON ZERO-POINT ENERGY by Barry Hilton © 1998 uring 1996 I was given a home- D== videotape featuring an Australian researcher who claimed to have run a car without petrol, using a device that appeared to produce either hydrogen or Brown's Gas from water. As I was interested in recent developments in America on point-of-application production of gas as a fuel source (energy cell), I fol- lowed up on this interesting phenomenon with a paper summarising what I had seen. Eventually a copy fell into the hands of the inventor. I then received a call from him, explaining that some of my assump- tions had been incorrect. He then offered to visit me in Melbourne to put things right. I was thrilled at the opportunity of gaining some first-hand information about his dis- coveries and the possibility of filling in the missing blanks. He did not disappoint me. cell and feed it into the inlet manifold to run the car. The cell was about 4 inches in diameter (100 mm) and about 3 feet long (870 mm), being made out of a stainless steel tube (from an old milking machine) with screw caps on either end. On one end was a clear glass window (for observing the milk flow in the pipe). On the other end, Joe fitted a circular piece of clear perspex (Plexiglas) through which he fitted a terminal for the inside stainless steel perforated element. This element was about 3.5 inches (87 mm) in diameter and about 2 feet long (600 mm). The element was perforated with 8- mm diamond-shaped holes at 12-mm cen- tres. An outlet pipe was already fitted approximately two-thirds of the way along the outer cylinder. He intended to use it to take off the steam. On 9 October 1991, on the front lawn of his home, Joe set up the entire arrangement on a pair of wooden saw trestles at the front of the car. He connected a half-inch clear plastic hose from the outlet pipe of the cell to the carburettor preheating device on the car, thinking that this device provided a gas supply to the inlet manifold. The car used was a Rover V8 3500 SD1 with a fully sealed all-aluminium motor. The carburet- tor was a twin Zenith single-barrel arrange- ment, similar to the SU carby. On connecting a separate 12-volt battery to the cell, he noticed through the observa- tion windows that the cell was full of white bubbles with a white vapour coming from the surface of the water, which he assumed was steam. He then started the car on petrol as usual. After running the car on idle for a short time, he disconnected the petrol supply and the car continued to idle even after the float bowl had emptied. However, the engine did not run smoothly so Joe advanced the timing by approx. 80° to bring the motor back to a normal, smooth idle. He let the car run for some time, thinking that it was running on steam, before he disconnected the battery to the cell to stop the engine. To his amazement the car continued to idle, even though he had disconnected the cell from the power supply! Only when he turned off the igni- tion key was he able stop the engine. He found that he could start the car via the starter motor without petrol and without connecting the cell to the battery! Some readers may have realised by now that the preheating device makes no gas connection into the inlet manifold. In fact, it goes nowhere except to the outer casing of the carburettor housing. What Joe has discovered here sets the mind boggling. This means that no explo- sive gas is supplied by the fuel cell to the manifold at all. The only gas entering the engine is plain air. Because this engine runs without mixing any conventionally known fuel with the air entering the carbu- rettor, its fuel must be derived from a dif- ferent source. Either Joe was controlling this engine by mind over matter, or he had unwittingly devised a means of tapping raw THE MARK | ENERGY CELL Joe "X" first became interested in trying to provide an alternative fuel system in about 1991. He got the idea of running his car on steam produced by a closed stainless steel cylinder containing a perforated cylin- drical element. He thought that if he connected a 12-volt battery with one terminal to the outer cylin- der (+) and the other terminal to the centre tube (-), the water would boil and he could draw off the steam from an outlet in the CATHODE NEXUS - 49 Mark I "Joe" Energy Cell AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 1998
