Says He Has Solved Perpetual Motion.
Carl Grossman, consular agent
at Proctor for the Austro- Hungarian
empire, has evolved piece of mech
anism that he confidently claims solves
the problem of perpetual motion.
The apparatus is so simple, Gross
man says, that he wonders why no
body thought of the same principle
long ago. Water is what makes the
Grossman machine go and. therefore,
he has dubbed the apparatus an aque-
auto motor. Grossman declares that
his machine is started by the opening
of valve which causes water by grav-
lty to set the apparatus going, and the
water is used over and over again.
The machine will then continue to
move Indefinitely without assistance
from any other source, he says, and
will only stop running when the valve
is closed. Grossman is an educated
man, speaking many languages, and
being graduate of one of the best
universities in Europe. He is a lieu
tenant in the Austro- Hungarian army
and only recently returned from a
trip to Hungary, his home country.
He is an associate of Horvath, the
Hungarian artist, who produced the
mammoth painting of the battle of
Trenton, which was exhibited in
American cities last year.
