Inventor Says It Will Fly, Run

Denver Man Took BumbIebee a.
Model for His Remarkable Con-
trivanee-WiIi Make Up to
800 Miles an Hour.

Denver.-William "A. Sharpe, a me-
chanic, after 13 years of experiment.
ing, is completing q machine which,
he says, can fly, run, swim and dive
1t is designed to, carry four passen-
gers. 1t will derive It's lifting and pro-
pelling power from the rotation Of
wheels and revolving and osciIlatins
propellers. '
Sharpe is fifty-two years old and a
mechanical engineer, and has pat
ented an automobile starter, an auto
primer and a captive aeroplane.
He is constructing his new combi-
nation machine at Sixteenth and
Broadway. He says it will travel on
the ground with the smoothness and
swiftness Of racing automobile. or
shoot into the air with the perfect
equilibrium and ease of swallow, and
be poised there; navigate the ocean
with the speed of motor boat, or can
be used as. a submarine. It is designed
to attain speed Of from so to 800
miles an hour, carrying 2,006 pounds
for each 1000 pounds weight of the
car. There are four wheels on the
car, and In each wheel there are four
propellers. The entire vehicle is built
of pressed steel and aluminium.
The device is designed on we'll
recognized principles says Sharpe
Nothing new is attempted in the
steering device, transmission system,
differential, lighting system, gear shift
or motor. l have designed propeller
blades, rotating within the circumfer-
ence of wheel, which by an ingen.
ious system of opposing or presenting
the broad surface of the propeller
blades during their downward stroke,
and presenting the edge of the pro-
peller blades during their upward
stroke. exert lifting power Of the
combined surface of the blades in an
upward and forward motion ~
