PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Artificial Fuel:
I, LOUIS GIBSON HARRIS, of 35 Tranby Avenue, in the City of Toronto, in
the County of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the manufacture of artificial fuel and the object of the
invention is two-fold, being the manufacture of a cheap gas oil fuel, and at the
same time the disposal and utilization of waste products, such as garbage, city
refuse, saw dust, peat, manure, coal dust, coal screenings, slack coal and the like
and it consists essentially of the composition designed to be mixed with the waste
products in the proportions hereinafter more particularly set forth.
My composition consists of the following ingredients."
Oil product of petroleum, such as sodius oil, which
is a mixture of gas oil and tar oil, crude oil or
any combination of these
Chloride of calcium
Caustic soda
Powdered soap bark
->
Waste products enumerated as above slightly
less than
100 gallons
10 pounds
333 grammes
150 grammes
4 tons.
The amount of waste products to be added is according to the nature of the
materials and state of their moisture or dryness.
.
In producing this composition the first four ingredients are mixed together and
then the garbage, peat or other materials, or all or any of them is thrown and
stirred in until the liquid composition is completely absorbed. The garbage
containing up to sixty-five per cent. moisture will yield good results when made
into fuel with the above composition.
The first four ingredients above enumerated are mixed together in a suitable
receptacle, which is preferably covered. The effect of this is to produce a gas
which is not only beneficial when mixed with the waste products but produces an
illuminating or burning gas at a minimum cost.

claim is :-
1. The herein described composition of matter to be used as an artificial fuel.
consisting of oil product of petroleum, chloride of calcium,,caustic soda, powdered
soap bark and waste products in the proportions specified.
2. The herein described composition of matter to be used for the production of
gas consisting of oil product of petroleum, chloride of calcium, caustic soda and
powdered soap bark in the proportions specified.
