The Suppression<br />

<strong>of</strong> Fuel Savers<br />

<strong>and</strong> Alternate<br />

Energy Resources<br />

A chemical war has been declared on our planet. As a species, we are at<br />

the end <strong>of</strong> our grace period, <strong>and</strong> we can no longer afford to spew out toxins<br />

from our industrial plants, <strong>and</strong> filth from our cars <strong>and</strong> trucks. If we are<br />

to somehow survive <strong>and</strong> carry on into the next century, to preserve a<br />

healthy planet for the future generations, we must conserve our resources.<br />

Better still, we must rely on alternate, clean forms <strong>of</strong> energy.<br />

You need to look only as far as your driveway to find evidence <strong>of</strong> our<br />

abuse <strong>of</strong> existing energy resources. Conventional carburetion <strong>and</strong> fuel<br />

injection introduce a fine mist <strong>of</strong> gasoline droplets into the combustion<br />

chamber <strong>of</strong> your car. Some <strong>of</strong> this mist is vaporized, <strong>and</strong> that is what propels<br />

the pistons down their cylinders, driving the car along. But droplets<br />

merely burn—a waste <strong>of</strong> rapidly depleting fuel resources—<strong>and</strong> hydrocarbon<br />

<strong>and</strong> carbon monoxide emissions are the result. <strong>True</strong> vaporization is<br />

the answer to ridding the air <strong>of</strong> these poisons.<br />

Charles Pogue knew that the most explosive part <strong>of</strong> gasoline is its<br />

vapor, <strong>and</strong> so invented a system that would induct the vapor from the air<br />

space above the fuel in a gasoline tank. He was thus able to get more than<br />

200 miles per gallon on two-ton cars with eight-cylinder engines. Pogue<br />

held three basic patents for vaporizing carburetors he developed for General<br />

Motors in the 1930s. With such an outst<strong>and</strong>ing outcome, one would think<br />

that these devices would be st<strong>and</strong>ard on today's automobiles.<br />

Unfortunately for us, Pogue's facilities were destroyed in the late<br />

1930s <strong>and</strong> he was wounded by gunfire in incidents that persuaded him<br />

to forego further development <strong>of</strong> his invention. However, the fundamental<br />

concept lives on in various forms. Honda cars, for example, now have
