An Englishman would substitute
metals for coal as fuel for ocean steam
1ers, and has patented his method, claim
ing that by it larger amount of steam
can be obtained from given quantity
lof fuel. The theory is as follows: In
combustion n large amount of the coal
is turned into gas, much heat becomes
When zinc, iron, or manganese is burn
led, the resulting oxide is n dense solid,
and but little heat is wasted as vapor
lis not produced. The result of obtain
ing the cosmical heat latent. in the at
mosphere is that one pound of zinc will
.vaporize more than quadruple the steam
and the oxide of the metal may subse-
quently be readily reduced. 1t is we'll
known how small proportion of coal
compared with iron is used in the fur
naces of iron founderies, where the
partial combustion of the iron itself in
creases the heat produced by the COM
bustion of the coal. The invention
apparently. rests on strict scientific
grounds.
