BUOYANTIC ENGINE
HAS BEEN INVENTED
George Partillo Claims That II Will Work
Many Industrial Changes.

George Partillo, of Wausau, mill
and factory architect, who has planned
many of the large mills and factories
throughout this country, including
one at the $500, where one of his
original ideas was put into execution
and resulted in an Unexpectedly large
increase in the amount of power
developed from a water fall, has
recently invented device, which he
styles buOyantic engine, which, if
what is claimed for it is true, will
work revolution in the industrial
world, furnishing, as it will, power at
cost so small that the expense of
operation will be practically nothing.
The machine is termed buoyantic
engine from the fact that it derives
its power from buoyancy, the same
force that would bring to the surface
of body of water with its broadcast
side exposed board that had with
seemingly no resistance been i'm
mersed edgewise. This is the principle
upon which this new engine works.
Through the use of air chambers, with
automatic opening and closing devices
and application of these to the above
principle, he has perfected an engine
which will derive enough energy from
still water to run as long as it is partly
submerged,
He has manufactured wheel, six
inches in diameter and eight inches
In width, which when one-third
submerged in tub of water has not
only run, but has developed power
enough to operate an old style Wheeler
& Wilson sewing machine, running
continuously for fOrty-eight hours, and
that without other power than that
derived from the water in the tub.
