sated aud superheated The steam
Passes into the engine 70 te operated.
from whence IL is carried into an electric
dynamo, which supplies the electricity
by heating the water, and thence the ex-
haust Is delivered back into the genera
tor, 50 that there is no waste. Ia start
ing the machine some extraneous heat Is
necessary to pat the dynamo in motion.
After that the machine runs itself. The
dynamo supplies electricity which heats
the water and makes the steam: the
steam runs any engine the generator may
be attached 10, and passing from thence
into the dynamo. operates it and makes
more electricity, and so on, keeping up
perpetual current and running itself un-
til some Of the parts wear out and break
down. The machine is entirely auto
matte in its action. and. after being once
started. absolutely and completely con-
trois all us own functions until the ma
chinery wears out.
The dynamo is similar TO all othe
dyDamos- IL Is in demonstration Of the
steam generator and its connections that
played itself. This consists of a series
OF comparatively small cylindrical gen
orators, hung on feed p.pes in the form
OF a parallelogran, Us shown in the ac-
companying engraving. Above these is
n circuit of smaller generators, attached
Il tho first series. and discharging into
g .servoir. In the base of each of these
l. cha tAI
that in a vino bottle, and into this is
fitted an incandescent electric light
This heats the water and makes the
steam. which passes through the lower
circuit of generators, and thence into the
upper circuit, where it becomes super
heated. From here it is discharged into
the engine to be operated. After serv-
ing the engine, the steam passes into the
the dynamo, which it also operates, and
the exhaust is then, by means of a very
ingenious and original mechanical de-
vice, forced back into the generator, so
that no steam is wasted. Thus there is
no smoke. no exhaust and no noise. The
machine is self operating. self acting and
self regulating. 1t consumes no fuel,
and after once being started in operation
runs itself until its parts wear out.
The machine manufactures water gas
as readily as steam, and the inventor
claims that by means of one Of these
generators of moderate size he can sup
ply large city with water gas and sup
ply q system of machinery besides. By
means of his generator he also claims to
run the largest ocean steamers on the
longest trips without consuming pound
of coal.
In Baltimore another plan has been
promulgated by Gottfried Griel, boss
carver Of the Atlantic Furniture com
pany, though Charles Cherkassy, of
Philadelphia, Russian, claims that the
secret has been stolen from him by a
carpenter whom he employed to make a
model. The following is the description
Of Griers machine as given in The Phila-
delphia Press:
1t is simple in construction, consisting
mainly Of n straight shaft hung between
two upright standards moved by weights
I Upon this shaft are hung at their centers
| six peculiar arms about foot long that
carry tho weights Four of them are
shaped like two Hogarth lines of beauty,
with their ends brought together, but
with n space of two inches between them
at the middle. These arms arc hung at
different angles, and within each is a
gutter in which runs leaden ball.
