They get more mileage for less fuel cost and a motor that doesn't "knock." Carl Ahlstedt of Lin Kopling, southern Sweden, has invented a carburetor, called tripol. It can be fixed on any gasoline combustion engine, to run smoothly, fed with 80 per cent kerosene and 20 per cent water. Gasoline is still necessary to start and warm the motor, how ever, otherwise, the cylinders would corrode. Trial is done easily with a button on the In strument board. No Knock In Motor A car with a tripol carburetor consumes 30-40 per cent less kerosene that it uses gasoline with a common gas carburetor, Ahlstedt claims after a year of experiments and tests. The motor doesn't knock, even if the number of revolutions per minute is as low as 200, he said. Ahlstedt has tested his carbu retor by driving a truck 75,000 miles without even five minutes of motor service. The motor was clean inside, almost shiny, he claimed. Used In War The principle of using water to increase the effect of a com bustion engine has already ent ered aviation. During the war certain types of fighter plane motors got an "injection'' of water. It gave a sudden increase of the motor's strength. But Ahlstedt still doesn't know why the water makes the motor stronger. He dismisses the theory that the water is split up in its elements, hydrogen and oxygen, because it takes exactly as much energy to split water as is pro duced when the two elements join again. He thinks steam makes the combustion in the motor smooth er and more complete and in creases the octane value of the fuel. "I'm no theorist." he said. "My carburetor is the result of practical tests." Trade Commissioner Here from California M. J. Brown, trade commis sioner of the Los Angeles Cham ber of Commerce, arrived in Medford today as an emissary of Los Angeles county during the chamber's trade promotion cam paign.
