FUEL KNOCK NOT
solved As YET
Science Cunt Determine Reason
Of Bud Gus

Swampscott, Mass. Sept. II W.
Science has yet to solve the mystery
that intriEues every automobile
owner when he hears q fuel knock
in the engine and wonders at the
cause. This was the report made to-
day by two English scientists at an
international symposium Of the d.
visions of gas and fuel chemistry of
the American Chemical society,".
In an effort to ascertain the cause
of the ''pinking" OF knocking of
motor fuels, G. b. Maxwell and r.
V. Wheeler of the Department Of
Fuel Technology. Sheffield univers-
ity. England. made = Photographic
study of the movement OF flames
of the development of pressure dur
ing the explosion of the charge in
an engine cylinder.
Deadlock at Present
AT present there Is a deadlock
In the design of light, high-speed
internal combustion engines for gu
tomobile and airplane use." they re-
ported. THE effect Of increased
compression in increasing efficiency
is thoroughly realized. So also Is the
attendant evil 'ptnking' to which in
creased compression may lead. De-
signers are prepared to supply high
compression engines II the common
run of motor fuels can be used in
them.
'Pinking. knocking or 'deton-
alton as it is variously called. has
come to be a serious problem to the
fuel producer. Intensive research
has led to improvements in the de-
sign of engines and the blending
and doping Of fuels, but the cause
of the trouble is still not clear"
Professor George Granger Brown
of the University of Michigan. in
opening the discussion. said that a
large part of the symposium would
be devoted to papers ION the me-
chanism of combustion and auto
ignition temperature of fuels in an
attempt to find the true cause of
engine defamation, the importance
of which can hardly be overempha-
sized"
"All human and animal exist
ence depends upon combustion as
its source of energy" he said. The
first real progress man made in his
ascent or descent from the anthro-
pomorphic missing link depended
upon his control of fire or combust-
ion. and in many ways our further
progress depends upon more intelli-
genS and efficient control Of COM
bustion."
Professor w. E. Garner of the de-
partment of physical chemistry,
Bristol University. England, said
that the study of radiation from
flames was in the embryonic stage
Of development, but gave promise
of becoming highly specialized
branch of knowledge which would
play an important part in the clue
idation of the mechanism Of the
process of combustion occurring In
flame"
The advance of modern physics,
he said, had provided a broader and
more detailed basis for the investi-
cation Of the phenomena OF flame
than was possible before the advent
OF new ideas on the relationship be-
tween matter and radiation"
