Introduction<br />

In 1979 a New Zeal<strong>and</strong> inventor by the name <strong>of</strong> Archie Blue astounded the<br />

world—or at least that part <strong>of</strong> the world that was paying attention—with an<br />

invention that would allow any car with a gasoline engine to be fueled solely<br />

by water. He was awarded a patent for his work, <strong>and</strong> although he kept certain<br />

vital secrets out <strong>of</strong> his patent diagrams, he did demonstrate his device<br />

on numerous public <strong>and</strong> private occasions. Witnesses from Engl<strong>and</strong>'s Royal<br />

Automobile Club announced that the car did indeed run on water, <strong>and</strong> was<br />

in fact getting one hundred miles per gallon.<br />

A group <strong>of</strong> English investors in the Channel Isl<strong>and</strong>s supported Blue.<br />

They brought him to the United Kingdom <strong>and</strong> tested the device, but then,<br />

mysteriously, progress was halted. Blue returned to New Zeal<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

stopped publicizing his invention. Immediately upon his death in 1991,<br />

his daughter <strong>and</strong> son-in-law cleaned out his laboratory, <strong>and</strong> brought what<br />

they described as "junk" to the garbage dump. Thus, Archie Blue's secrets<br />

died with him.<br />

In 1996, I was invited to Australia to witness a demonstration <strong>of</strong> an<strong>other</strong><br />

mechanism that reputedly allowed a car to run on water. The inventor<br />

(who underst<strong>and</strong>ably wishes to remain anonymous) had received threats<br />

after having conversed with a magazine editor. He was told never to try to<br />

put his invention on the market or to write about it in a public media.<br />

However, no one stopped him from showing several <strong>of</strong> us how the device<br />

worked in a Ford Cortina.<br />

Running on gasoline, the old Ford could barely manage 4,500 revolutions<br />

per minute before it screamed in obvious pain <strong>and</strong> blue smoke billowed<br />

out from the exhaust pipe. However, after the water device was<br />

connected, the engine went to 10,500 rpm with nothing but water vapor<br />

coming out <strong>of</strong> the pipe, <strong>and</strong> no smoke evident at all. Its acceleration was<br />

phenomenal. The engine still screamed, but it was obviously happier running<br />

on water. Unfortunately, the inventor's garage was later raided, <strong>and</strong><br />

his equipment destroyed, making further development impossible.
