MAN INvENTS
COMPR ESSED
AIR ENGINE
Motor Runs With Fifteen
Pounds Pressure
and Less.
By NFA Service

BIZ NEA Service
DECATUR, ILL.,, Dec. 19.-Lewis
c. Kiser. 10, inventor, has built a
compressed airmotor which he claims
will replace our present gasoline en-
gines for automobile use.
The engine has been tested out
on automobiles and found to run
with fifteen and even less pounds
OF pressure.
The compressed air is carried in
tank which holds 200 pounds pres
sure.
An automobile with such an en-
CINE win run 100 miles an hour with
out diminishing the air pressure,
says Kiser. The construction OF the
motor provides for compressed air
to be forced into the tank from the
exhaust. sBi8E
The principle on which the com
pressed air motor works is similar
to that of a steam engine. The cost
Of propulsion is said to be practically
nothing.
Kiser's plans for the development
of the compressed air motor do not
limit the machine to automobile use.
He is going to introduce the engine
for airplane use.
With a slide valve and a rotary
motion. this motor, says Kiser, will
allow alrplanes to make landings and
ascensions from limited space.
An airplane of this nature will
make an ideal mail ship and IL his
invention is practical and satisfao-
tory 1t will probably be taken up by
postal authorities.
Edser has received offers Of royal
ties for the use Of his invention, but
has refused them as being too small
In comparison with the demonstrar
ton OF the motors value.
