Meeting called for pollution free engine

A public meeting 7 p.m. June 5 in the Golden Pond meeting room has been called to launch a dream 27 years in the making, a pollution free, extremely efficient engine that supporters of the inventor state could literally change the world.

Speakers will include David Fraser, owner of Absorption Refrigeration Services Canada near Bridgewater, Harry Davis of the well-known Chandler and Davis accounting firm in Chester and the inventor, Queens Co. resident, Sheldon Robar.

Robar agrees the above statements will sound grandiose and even impossible to many, that such promises have been made in the past and either lost through patent grabbing oil interests and other measures or through the works of con artists and well-meaning but inadequately prepared inventors.

Super carburetors that rely on vapourized gas resulting in efficiencies of up to 200 miles per gallon could be on the road at this moment, he says for example.

He asks both people that know him - he has numerous high-profile supporters - as well as cynics to attend the meeting.

He explains he simply wants a chance to unveil the truth about his engine and hopefully spark interest in potential investors. He says he is personally “flat broke,” having injected close to a million dollars into the effort over the past three decades, and this doesn’t include his time.

Because of a lack of interest from governments, politicians and political parties, Robar says, he has decided to go directly to the people with an engine that relies on a heated refrigerant propellant that’s ozone friendly. The closed loop system releases no emissions and requires extremely low heat temperatures to become vapourized and expand to generate the force needed to move a vehicle or machinery.

This heat could be provided by traditional fossil fuels, which, of course, would generate a small amount of emissions, or renewable fuels such as methane or ethanol. A huge potential application is utilizing waste heat, such as is generated by manufacturing plants, as only one example. In vehicles, the expected mileage increase is staggering, according to Robar and Fraser.

The basics of the system passed the United States’ rigourous patent requirements. Robar, and Fraser agrees, says he has now finalized an easily manufactured engine to utilize the technology. Fraser, a consultant and employee in engineering departments of numerous large companies over the years has helped Robar with the thermo dynamics side of the technology. He uses the term revolutionary and describes Robar as a mechanical genius.

Robar says he does recognize the realities of introducing this technology, however. “This is a strong point I want to make. I’m not a radical, not a fanatic or extremist. I’ve got wits enough to realize this cannot be introduced over night. In some areas, it would have to be phased in over years so as not to upset the economy. As far as recycling waste heat from the plant stacks, however, this can be done anytime.”

What’s needed now, he says, is less than the price of some high-end cars. “When we finalize the drafting and get the patent, we’re in business. There are a lot of countries that not only want this; they need it.” He says, of course, he would prefer it be manufactured at home, but that, given the lack of government and political party support, this seems unlikely. “It’s sad but true.”

For example, he says the units that utilize waste heat emanating from manufacturing and other plants could be easily manufactured locally. “If the people stand behind me, which I think they will, I’ll lead the effort. We’ll do what the oil cartel and government has been doing to us for all these years and that’s ignore them. How do you move a mountain? You don’t. You go around it.”
