A NEW PROCESS OF MOTIVE
POWER.

Beng SHOWN by non. JOllil Ell
5 mer. sketch Of an invention
, which he is having patented t.
, substitute for the present motlN
| power which he has been work
ing on for many years, he con
scented to give us for publication
q sketch of the machine i'll ques
ton that should be Of interest t
many Of oar readers who are in
tarested in new inventions. Mr.
Emmer feels sangine that his mo
tive machine will intimately re,
place the crude and expensive
machinery now in use to furnish
power for operating plants Of all
kind and invites the attention of
the world to his new in1 ention.
His explanation Of its work
, ings here follows:
"In order to better understand
the operation of my device, arti-
fetal system Of water power for
motor purposes, [ will say that the
whole motive power is Onl y de-
pendent on two pressures, the
first is air left by compressed ar,
and the second is water pressure
and both air and water pressure
are the cheapest pressures in the
world, cost absolutely nothing to
obtain and it is well known that
these two pressures are two Of the
most powerful Of natures ele-
ment known. All that has. to be
accomplished is to harness these
two elements in such a manner as
to be able to make use Of them. |
am as confident as anyone can be
that my system will produce any
where from 10 to 1000 horse pow
er or more and will operate any
electric light plant, sugar mill,
rice mill, or irrigating plant, and ,
in fact will produce sufficient mo-
tive power wherever motive pow
er is required to operate any
power system, and it will do all
Of this without costing one cent
expense for fuel and will operate
automatically, requiring very lit
tie attention after being started.
This system for motive power
operates in this manner, first say
a round iroE'casing, open top and
bottom Of about 25 feet in diam
pter is put down about 10 feet in
the earth sec ond then in the bot
tom of this tank six, eight, ten or
twelve sixteen inch pipes Of one
-ength each (number of pipes ac-
to power reiuired) these
engths measure about 20 feet
each, these pipes are put down
rom the bottom Of the tank;
bird, then the bottom Of the tank
S connected around the casing,
md also around the pipes. The
bottom being closed, will give
'r hold 80 feet Of water, 20 feet
II the pipes and solid body Of
water Of 10 and 25 feet in the
ank. These pipes are lettered Z
\; fourth, inside Of pipe A is ,
placed pipe B which is called the
water. supply and pressure pipes;
fifth, inside Of the B pipe is
'laced the compressed air pipe.
he B pipe, say Of II or IA inch ,
n diameter extend upwards, say ,

ack upward by a crook or goose I
eek through an open tank at the :

ired, returns back quickly to the ],
