Scouts HendershOt's
 New FuellesS Motor

Cambridge. Mass. Feb. 27 R)- The belief of Lester J. Hendershot, West Eliza beth, Pa, inventor that he has discovered a fuelless motor. an inventor which has engaged the in- tcrest of Col. Char rles A. Lindbergh and others with its possibilities for aviation, is not regarded seriously by Professor Dugald c. Jackson, head of the department of electrical en- gineerins at the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology.
 "The explanation of the so-callcd magic motor is obvious" Prof. Jackson declared. Experts on cleo tric motors have not been permitted to examine the device. Power to run motors curiously enough. must be supplied to motors and such energy is not derived from the earth or the air in sufficient intensity or quantity to run a. large motor capable of driving an airplane."
 He asserted that many laboratory experiments seen practical but that practical application of such experi- ments is impossible because of the high cost of producing the experi- ment on a scale that would be useful.

NEW INVENTION
 IS IN NEW YORK
HeuderAot's Motor to Be h-
 amined by Critical Eyes

New York, Feb. c7-The Tender
 shot "fuelless motor" was in New York today to be put under tho cri- l tical eyes of electrical experts aa soon as patent can be obtained.
 It has already mystified several
 men familiar with electricity. Major Thomas G. Lanphier. commandant of Selfridge Field. Mich.. and leader of the first pursuit group. said at the Hotel Biltmore where he and Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and a party of friends are staying. Difficulty in obtaining patent was found. he said, as the government
 patent department could find no classification for the motor. Patent attorneys he said. have taken the
 matter in hand and as soon as 8 patent Is obtained the motor will probably be tested under the super vision of experts of the Guggenheim Foundation for the Promotion of Aeronautics. Company Was Formed He denied that company had been formed to produce the motor or that it's practicability for use in airplanes had been proven.
 Major Lanphier also denied that Colonel Lindbergh was in anyway connected with the group which was ba acking the inventor, Lester J. Hem dershot of West Elizabeth, Pa. n
 Barr Peat, his friend. Colonel Henry Breckinridgc and myself" Major L.anphicr said.
 q put a little money into it and when we decided we ought to sec some one about patenting it ! thought of Breckinridge whom ] knew through Slim. Slim Colonel Lindbergh was my guest and l showed him the motor. That is all he has to do with it.'
 Colonel Breckinridge is. New York lawyer and was assistant sec retary of war during President Will sons first administration.
 "Thc fact that Colonel Brecken- ridge is also Colonel Lindbergh's at
 torney gave rise to a lot of false rumors that Lindbereh was interest ed in this motor thing" Major Lan- phier said.
 Is a Generator
 The army officer. who said his only knowledge of electricity was what he learned in his first year at West Point, described the 'fuellesS motor" as a generator. He said the invention. which he called an en- ergy collector. gathered out of the air "a power which Hcndershot ot says hc believes is energy generated by the rotation Of the earth on its axis and around the sum-"
 pr. Nikola. Tesla. inventor of the induction motor and who recently patented plans for a. ''he!icopter- air plane" views the invention with skepticism. Dr. Tesla, who has spent many of his seventy-one years ex- ,, perimentinE in taking energy from the heat of the sun. earth and air, sources by small motor can only bc measured in mouse power" There is. apart from lightning. no natural electrical source which could he exploited with the practical ob- feet of developing power in tho amount required for the operation of machinery he said.
 Major Lanphier declared how ever, that the whole thing is so
