The following file refers to the late cryogenics genius, Harold L. Boese
|
|||
|
|
(pronounced BAY-ZEE). He was a recognized expert in the field of super cold
|
|||
|
|
and has been called the Father of Cryogenics. Mr. Boese died about 4 years
|
|||
|
|
ago (1988) after several strokes, according to his daughter. Due to the
|
|||
|
|
severity of the strokes, Mr. Boese was restricted to a wheelchair in his later
|
|||
|
|
years. You might also take the file BOESE.GIF which shows a diagram of how
|
|||
|
|
the system works.
|
|||
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
Mr. Boese developed a most unique engine based on liquid nitrogen (N2) which
|
|||
|
|
is inert, non-flammable and comprises about 78% of our atmosphere.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A Pinto station wagon was converted to run on his engine and proven as a
|
|||
|
|
viable means of transport at extremely low cost and absolutely no pollution.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The engine uses a "turbo-expander" which functions as a heat exchanger. It
|
|||
|
|
allows the liquid nitrogen a means of rapid expansion from heating due to
|
|||
|
|
ambient temperatures of >30 degrees F. The "turbo-expander" is basically a
|
|||
|
|
long hollow copper pipe that is either spiralled or folded in such a way as to
|
|||
|
|
give the greatest surface exposure.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As the liquid nitrogen passes through this expansion tubing, the ambient heat
|
|||
|
|
will cause the liquid to change to a gas through a phase change.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Liquid nitrogen expands by 980 times its volume when changing from a liquid to
|
|||
|
|
a gas. Expansion means pressure which translates to power.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Expansion of one gallon of Liquid Nitrogen into Nitrogen Gas
|
|||
|
|
980 X 231 = 226,380 cubic inches
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once the liquid has expanded by 980 times its volume, it is fed into an off-
|
|||
|
|
the-shelf AIR MOTOR. An air motor is kind of like a paddle wheel on an old
|
|||
|
|
style riverboat. As compressed air is blown against the paddles, a shaft is
|
|||
|
|
spun which drives whatever is attached, in this case, the transmission of a
|
|||
|
|
vehicle. Boese said that only a slight modification to the air motor was
|
|||
|
|
necessary to make the it run perfectly with the expanded and very cool
|
|||
|
|
nitrogen gas.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Mr. Boese's daughter told me in a phone conversation that her dad had designed
|
|||
|
|
and built a liquid nitrogen motor for use as a backup engine on the NASA Lunar
|
|||
|
|
Rover. An electric engine WAS INTENDED as the primary with the liquid
|
|||
|
|
nitrogen engine as backup. I was told the N2 engine was ACTUALLY USED in the
|
|||
|
|
pictures we see of the Lunar 'buggy' bouncing across the surface because it
|
|||
|
|
was smaller, less heavy because it did not have all those batteries (despite
|
|||
|
|
the 1/6th earth gravity) and much more efficient.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Boese's daughter said that he was ecstatic with this success and that NASA
|
|||
|
|
expressed an interest in promoting this as an excellent engine for vehicles.
|
|||
|
|
That lasted until the mission was over and then they changed their tune and
|
|||
|
|
refused to support any claims that a liquid nitrogen motor was actually used.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For the remainder of Boese's life, he tried to promote and market the use of
|
|||
|
|
his invention as a non-polluting motive force, with no appreciable success. A
|
|||
|
|
company was formed, Cryogenics Unlimited Corporation, for that purpose and
|
|||
|
|
offers were being considered from Japan and Italy. As of this writing
|
|||
|
|
(originally 1992), no commitment had been arranged from anyone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The current status of the working vehicle is that one of the financial backers
|
|||
|
|
has the Pinto test car in his garage. It has not worked for several years.
|
|||
|
|
He has been tinkering with it to find out how to make it work but does not
|
|||
|
|
have the late Mr. Boese's understanding of the process.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Liquid nitrogen was available for about 2 to 5 cents per mile back in the 70's
|
|||
|
|
when the tests were being carried out. Boese claimed he had also discovered a
|
|||
|
|
means of generating his own liquid nitrogen AS THE CAR WAS RUNNING, so that it
|
|||
|
|
could partially or fully replenish its own fuel.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The beauty of his engine is that it could be used for many other purposes than
|
|||
|
|
just running a car. It could drive a generator to produce power for your
|
|||
|
|
home among other uses. There is much to yet be discovered (or RE-discovered)
|
|||
|
|
with regard to this principle and it needs to be shared with the greatest
|
|||
|
|
number of interested people in hopes they can or WILL do experiments that will
|
|||
|
|
be shared with the network. Good luck!.........................>>> Jerry
