What about "those little green granules"?
|
||
|
|
by Jimmy Ward
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On July 13, 1979, the story of Guido Franch and his "Mota-Fuel" made
|
||
|
|
the papers nationwide. He claimed he could turn ordinary tap water
|
||
|
|
into 105 octane gasoline by merely adding some green crystals to it.
|
||
|
|
With a gasoline shortage in full swing, his announcement was met
|
||
|
|
with a great deal of interest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Franch, 69, of Villa Park, Illinois, had been subpoenaed to appear
|
||
|
|
in Federal Court with records "relating to the purchase of any fuel,
|
||
|
|
fuel powder, or fuel formula in (his) possession or under (his)
|
||
|
|
control" since 1968.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Franch did not claim credit for discovering the mysterious fuel,
|
||
|
|
only for converting the formula for use as a motor fuel. The real
|
||
|
|
inventor, he claimed, was Alexander Craft, a german scientist who
|
||
|
|
died in 1941. Kraft was a rocket fuel expert involved in "doing
|
||
|
|
research way ahead of his time."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Franch claimed he could make one pound of granules out of 25 pounds
|
||
|
|
of coal and that it cost him about $100 to make a pound of granules,
|
||
|
|
but mass production would drive the cost down to about $4.00 a pound
|
||
|
|
or about 8 cents per gallon of gasoline.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
He was later charged, tried and convicted of bilking large sums of
|
||
|
|
money from his investors who were never allowed to see how he made
|
||
|
|
his granules or even how he converted water to "gasoline". They
|
||
|
|
were given containers filled with a greenish liquid that smelled
|
||
|
|
like cleaning fluid instead. It did burn and even power cars,
|
||
|
|
however.

Was he only a con artist, or did he really convert water to fuel -
|
||
|
|
or both? It is interesting to note that during the trial, the
|
||
|
|
matter of whether he actually could or couldn't convert water to
|
||
|
|
fuel was hardly mentioned. More curiously, the allegation that his
|
||
|
|
"Mota-Fuel" was a hoax was NEVER mentioned. In fact, there was no
|
||
|
|
mention of any hoax at all, only that he had "stolen" money from his
|
||
|
|
investors. Does this mean "Mota-Fuel" was real? And that it was
|
||
|
|
made from coal-derived granules?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Actually, this is not the first time those green granules made from
|
||
|
|
coal have turned up. In the Cincinnati Enquirer for April 25, 1897,
|
||
|
|
an aeroship (see Aero files in the Gravity section of KeelyNet), was
|
||
|
|
reported to have landed, tha occupants of which claimed their craft
|
||
|
|
used a "volatile substance" that somehow NEGATED THE FORCE OF
|
||
|
|
GRAVITY. C.A.A. Dellschau died in 1924 leaving behind several books
|
||
|
|
of drawings of strange looking airships allegedly designed in the
|
||
|
|
mid-1800s which used a gas that negated gravity in order to fly.
|
||
|
|
The gas was made by adding green crystals to ordinary water.
|
||
|
|
Coincidence? These crystals were made from coal too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Even more bizarre is the story of one Dr. Rhinelander (apparently a
|
||
|
|
pseudonym) who allegedly was contacted by aliens toward the end of
|
||
|
|
the century. They supposedly gave him plans to build an aerial
|
||
|
|
craft which would operate on a propulsion principle totally unknown
|
||
|
|
to him. He was instructed to collect scientists and migrate to a
|
||
|
|
coal mining area of the MidWest. The nearby coal mines were to
|
||
|
|
supply the basic ingredients for a new fuel which could be made from
|
||
|
|
ordinary water. Those green granules again!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
More "down to earth" is the story of John Andrews. In 1917, he used
|
||
|
|
a green powder to convert sea water to gasoline before the
|
||
|
|
astonished eyes of several US Navy brass. Even though it was tested
|
||
|
|
in the tank of a motorboat and proved more than satisfactory, the
|
||
|
|
Navy was "not interested". In fact, he seems to have been unable to
|
||
|
|
find anyone who was interested! In 1935, he converted tap water
|
||
|
|
into fuel before members of the Bureau of Standards and gave a
|
||
|
|
demonstration of its power, but they too declined to take action.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are other stories of other inventors who appear to have been
|
||
|
|
able to transform water into something resembling gasoling. All of
|
||
|
|
them have the same basic elements : green granules or powder MADE
|
||
|
|
FROM COAL. Demonstrations are given, often before such people as
|
||
|
|
Earl Eisenhower (brother of the president), or large companies such
|
||
|
|
as Ford Motor Co. or Standard Oil. Typically the alleged inventor
|
||
|
|
never takes full credit for his discovery and declines to divulge
|
||
|
|
the secret process for creating the mysterious granules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fact or fiction? FOCUS doesn't know either.
