If — TJfflE 1020 IEMF ———— 1 THE MANUFACTURE AND APPLICATION OF A MECHANICAL STORAGE BATTERY (Patent No. 8475,97868.7,836,999, applied for) As described in a paper read by. I. L. Illing and P. G. Krippner KAPPA IOTA SIGMA SOCIETY Realizing the great need for a suitable substitute for the present bulky and inefficient chemical storage battery, the two scientists mentioned above have at last completed plans for an efficient accumulator. As will be evident the principle of operation is based on the electron theory. After considerable theoretical experiment it has been found that the electrons traveling through the air at an enormous rate (as for instance between a spark gap will become white hot and result in an optical illusion similar to a comet’s tail. The problem before these men was to arrest these electrons in transit (there being no other means of isolating them) and store them for future use. £ OPERATION: SPASM 1. Referring now to the diagram below: By closing the switch S the “Do- More’’ hydrated cells will cause the juice to chase through the inductive boost- er IB and cause a lightning-like spark to meander between the platinum balls B. Immediately upon the beginning of this operation the syncronizer, at- tached to the vibrator of the inductive booster, or improved induction coil, will start the polyphase D. C. motor M. This in turn operates the oscillating disk Z which propels the piston-like chopper CH and causes same to shiver at an enormous rate in a vertical direction. Page One Hundred One

THE 4920 EK IF The Synhronizer is so arranged that it controls the motor to a nicety and the chopper is brought down just in time to arrest the progress of the electron as it is passing the notch N. Having lost its inertia the little electron will now roll down into the flask F. It is very necessary that this notch be hewed in a quartz block so as not to interfere with the electrical progress of the electron. The flask is made of Jucifer Metal, a non-conductor specially designed to hold electrons. As the electrons are invisible, means must be provided for ascertaining when the flask is full. Consequently a tap is brought out near the top which will cause a short circuit when the limit of the jug is reached. The electrons, upon being allowed a method of escape, will run through the circuit to the ground, making the Noiseless bell ring furiously and cause a great commo- tion. This notifies the operator that sufficient electrons have been isolated and the mechanism may be stopped. SPASM 2. U Since the suffering public is in immediate need of a priceless substitute for gasoline, the first industrial application has been worked out along these lines. The speedster illustrated below is not designed to conserve power by offering low wind resistance as the method described above generates an un- limited quantity of juice. It is estimated that the cells shown in the previous drawing will operate the speedster for four seasons operating continuously. However, the power produced may be calculated from the following formula: V Ctrl uj After the electrons are isolated they are poured into the tank T of the car and same is now ready for use. The operator assumes a comfortable position behind the wheel W and closes the circuit by means of the control panel P. The course of the electrons is. of course, apparent. Flowing first through the motor, through the controlling box and frame of the car. they finally reach the metal studded wheel Q and escape to the ground. Mounted directly in front of the panel is a special reinforced “Shimmy” bell to indicate the supply of power still present in the tank. On July 1st of each year the operator must close the switch S. If the bell rings he still has sufficient power to last another season and need not worry until the next July 1st. Page One Hundred Two
