A contractor had received a ship

weight. The contractor picked up an

"You must be careful" cautioned
the contractor, mot to get these

which, by rising and falling with the
waves would impart their power to a
Wheel, but no practicable machine was
EYER built, and people came to the con-
cl'-sion that the problem was impos-'
siLle of solution. But engineers who
haze tested the wave motors invented
BY William Snee of Pittsburg, Pa,
st::te that these motors will do the
ws>rk for which they are intended.
The motor, or rather the revolving
pcrtion of the motor, resembles in con-
st+uction and is in effect a turbine. 1t
ia the only turbine wheel ever invent
ed for generating power from wave
al d tide motion. The motor revolves
within a stationary shield, which is
equipped with reflectors and guide
bl4des set at such an angle as to har-
ms'nize all outside conflicting forces of
the water, so that no matter from
what direction the water is jetted into
the interior the motor always turns in
One direction.
Models of various sizes have been
made and the experiments have proved
such an unqualified success that two
elton motors have been installed at
the end of Young's pier at Atlantic
City, and the power obtained will be
utilized to make the pier and beach

The wave motor seems to be an
amphibious machine, for it works as
we'll on the land as it does in the wa
ter. This feature was tested recently
at Pittsburg and the motor proved it.
self to be 20 per cent. more sensitive
to the currents of the air than the
anemometer, the same principle that
harmonizes the conflicting forces of
water within the outside wheel har-
monizing likewise conflicting forces of
wind. Furthermore, in contrast with
the fan tail windmill, ,>there need be no
fear of destruction or injury, no mat,
ter how great the velocity of the wind.
This discovery naturally suggested
the idea of using both the wind and
wave motors in government light
houses, the matter was brought to the
attention of the government officials
and an investigation is being made.
