BURNING WATER AS FUEL
DESCRIBED BY HASKIN

WASHINGTON, April 9-For tel
months past a small power PLAN
within TIE enclosure of the Wash
ington Barracks in this city has been
operated by burning water in connec
ton with Gil. Water, looked upon as
the other extreme from fire, and the
great factor in putting Il fires. is
actually being burned under a boiler
to produce heat.
Scientists until very lately have
declared this to be impossible. How
ever, there is a patent record in the
archives in this city showing that
Mrs. Francis Dowdall Shaw secur-
ed a patent for a certain kind OF
burner "a 1916. in which oil of prac-
tically any kind is combined with
common ordinary water and an in
tensely hot flame produced at a low
cost
Mrs. Shaw who is personally in
charge of the power plant at the
Washington Barracks under contract
with the government mas tried out
her invention in many ways, and
says that her records show a saw
ing of ratre than so per cent over
supplying power from burning coal,
and a so Fer cent saving over using
fuel oil in the usual way.
To secure the heat desired at the
Barracks plant about three parts OF
oil are used TO one part of water.
Ridiculous as it may sound, if more
water werc used, the fame would
be so not that the brick founda
ton under the boiler would melt
down. Mrs. Shaw has experiment.
ed with greater quantities of water,
and founI the heat so terrific that
ordinary brick work melts down
quickly.
Mrs. Shaw has been engaged in
manufacturing bricks and tiles for
some time. 1t was an accident in
connection with her work that
showed her that water could be com
bined with oil as a fuel, effecting a
consider BILE saving over the ordi-
nary use Of fuel oil or coal. 1t hap
pened in this way: Mrs. shaw was
drying out a kiln. and for this pur-
pose was burning kerosene under it.
Some Of the kerosene cans had been
standing for quite a While. and wa
ter had accumulated in them. BY
accident, the whole combination was
used, and an immensely hotter flame
was produced.
Scientists have declared until
very lately" says Mrs. Shaw. that
IL is of curse impossible to burn
water. However, / had done 1t, and
not being a scientist, l kept on
experimenting until ! found out
what was happening. The oxygen
and hydrogen gas in water was be-
ing burned. and after 1 had per-
fected a burner. / patented the
thing"
One of Mrs. Shaw's oil and water
burners has been operating an 49,
600 horse power plant in Texas for
some time. This is the only big
private liant using the invention
thus far.
