NEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCE valves for controlling the fluid flow; these were installed in the red car depicted in the photos. That car was an old Ford. It was driven around town and was eventually discarded when the crankshaft became twisted beyond repair. Richard was also afraid that the Ford Motor Company would lay claim to his engine. Needless to say, Richard was very protective of and very secretive about his invention. The third engine was placed in the old car body sitting in the grass. This car was demonstrated at the Texas State Fair and received national and international attention. It was at this time that Richard Clem started to receive many threats on his life, including bomb scares. Jim Ray was there and witnessed most of it, including one bomb scare. Then someone came down _ from Washington and verified what Richard ad built and demonstrated, and stated that he would not live 30 days if he did not destroy the engine. Richard did so, but he hid some of the crucial parts in an old scrap iron pile ocated in the back of his shop. The Bendix Corporation sent two people 0 test the engine for emissions of any particulate for nine days straight, 24 ours per day. A group came over from Taiwan and took footage of the car running up and down the road. Engine no. 4 was the one on which Jim Ray assisted, including in getting some of the old parts from the scrap iron pile. It was built and put into the same old car in the grass because Richard had now removed any trace of the serial numbers from that car frame and body. This fourth engine was considered the new, improved version of his hydraulic motor. It was more difficult to start; in fact, the battery- powered starter would not start. Jim hen pushed Richard up and down the road, driving his old work truck to get he old car engine started. This engine would not run very long before going dead. One Saturday afternoon in May 978, Jim was with Richard when he stated that he thought he'd figured out where he had gone wrong from he first-generation engines. The nex morning, Richard had a heart attack and died. He had never determined he chemistry or physics of the engine and had never developed it far enough © prove out all the scientific nowledge and engineering theories or the purposes of patent filing and commercialisation. and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Jim Ray is president of Micro- Combustion, Inc., and I have been in extensive correspondence with him to create a website with the intention of getting the word out about this discovery and to make plans to market this engine. If you want to learn more about this rebirth of the Clem engine, visit the website www.micro- combustion.com and read the various documents. To quote from the History page of the website: "The first engine built by Richard Clem was an engine he built and tested in his shop. That engine had no control valves or any means of controlling the RPMs, or closing off the fluid flow from the hydraulic pump. On the first test, it started running faster and faster, and that was when Richard cleared the shop. The engine RPMs continued to increase until it blew up."
