The Next Step in Energy Production, Engines and Lighting
by Jerry W. Decker
(with apologies to the Dallas Morning News, the Van Nostrand
Scientific Encylopedia and the US Patent Office)
For years we have heard stories about a demonstration of a car that
ran on water here in the Dallas area. Never was there any text
substantiation or other documents relating details. Many of our
friends had also heard the story with hints of a green pill or
powder that was added to the water while in the gas tank that
somehow made it combustible with no further actions taken beyond the
simple ignition via a high intensity spark.
About two or three years ago, our friends Howard and Joanne Bond
sent us a short newspaper clipping describing the demonstration.
The article indicates a patent was secured for the "something" that
made the car run on water. That has kept me inspired all this time
and made me keep an eye and ear out for additional information.
The basic story was that the inventor of the traffic light, Dad
Garrett, failed to get a patent on the idea. Every city adopted
traffic lights for which Dad Garrett received little in return. He
and his son Charles invented many devices, among them a means of
making an automobile engine run on water.
To promote the discovery, a public demonstration was held at White
Rock Lake in Dallas somewhere around 1934. The event was covered by
news media of the day and we understand there was a Pathe' or
Movietone newsreel. An automobile was towed to the lake site. We
do not know the type of automobile or whether it was a 6 or 8
cylinder engine. A gallon of water was removed from the lake and
put into the gas tank. The car was then started and driven around
the lake with no problems.
Several months back, I decided to do whatever it would take to dig
up this patent. I knew from the article that a Dad Garrett and his
son Charles had invented this "something". I did not know the year
of this alledged patent and so had to go through several volumes
looking for anything relating to Garrett. Sometimes inventors
assign their invention to companies and that posed an additional
problem if such was the case.
I finally did find a patent issued to Charles H. Garrett on July 2,
Page 1
1935 and called an ELECTROLYTIC CARBURETOR. The number was
2,006,676. Since the microfiches only go back to about the mid-
40's, I had no option except to order it from the patent office. A
letter was sent to them with $2.00 ($1.50 for the patent and .50 for
mailing costs). After almost 3 months, I got a letter saying that
patents had now gone up to $3.00. So, another letter with the $1.00
FINALLY got me the patent about 3 weeks later.
I have been calling it a HYDROLYTIC CARBURETOR because of WHAT it is
combusting and have been totally amazed at the simplicity of the
technology. Several of our associates have received advance copies
of it and are quite impressed, saying they will build and test it.
We too will test it and openly share our findings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I fully intended to not place the patent online until the newspaper
articles had been researched and also furnished for your
investigations. However, the patent is so incredible that I feel it
should be placed online ASAP and so, the text of the patent is
included in the Garrett file series as follows. The patent drawings
are recorded as GARRETT1.GIF, GARRETT2.GIF, GARRETT3.GIF and
GARRETT4.GIF. Please feel free to pass this file around.
The newspaper articles are included in this file for the exact
information as published from the 1935 demonstration to the latest
modern report of which I am aware.
Bob Aldrich of Survivor BBS in LA gave us additional patent numbers
pertaining to the Horvath patents for electrolysis to power an
automobile engine. Of those patents, the Garrett patent was NEVER
listed as a "prior art" patent. That is quite odd as it PRECEDES
several of the points made by the Horvath patent, not to mention
being SO SIMPLE. Experiments will be carried out on the Garrett
design and we and our fellow experimenters will share our findings
for those interested. The potential is ENORMOUS. <end of comment>

What follows is the story that confirmed no green pill was involved
in the process and which Howard and Joanne Bond sent to KeelyNet.

Text :
The late Henry "Dad" Garrett was a multi-talented Dallas inventor
with a bent for electrical contrivances, and in 1935, he and his
son, C.H. Garrett, patented and exhibited an automobile that ran on
water -- actually, on hydrogen after the water was broken down by
electrolysis.
Dad Garrett was already famous for his work. In 1920 he set up WRR
in Dallas, the world's first municipal radio station, and was its
first announcer. He was the first man to build a radio in his car,
and he developed radio transmission from the car for police use. He
Page 2
also invented an automatic electric traffic signal, possibly the
nation's first.
Eugene P. Aldredge recalled the Garretts: "I had rented a small
office on the seventh floor of the Allen building in downtown Dallas
for my letter service, and one of my early customers was the
eighteenth floor National Electric Signal Co. owned by Dad Garrett
and son C.H.
"I was informed that the two were experimenting with an automobile
that used water for fuel, that they carried on their experiments in
a workshop adjacent to their office on the top floor, and that two
separate explosions (from dangerous hydrogen) had nearly blown a
hole in the roof of the building...Neither was hurt."
On September 8, 1935, The Dallas Morning News first announced that
the water-fuel concept worked -- at least it worked for "several
minutes," the article reported.
A few months later, Pathe' News filmed the car driving along Garland
Road with the driver stopping at White Rock Lake to fill the fuel
tank with water before cruising off. In 1970, Karen Klinefelter
wrote, "Aptly enough, the film was shown on Pathe's Stranger than
Fiction feature program."
C.H. Garrett said the only items needed to convert a gasoline-engine
auto to a water burner was an electrolytic carburetor and
installation of a generator of double normal capacity for the
breaking down of the water.
He claimed instant starts in any weather, no fire hazards, cooler
operation and plenty of power and speed. The car was not marketed,
and no one seems to know its ultimate destiny. Both Garretts died a
number of years ago. <end of article>

The original September 8, 1935 article as taken from microfilm at
the Dallas Library follows.
Dallasite Patents Invention
Which He Claims Substitutes
Water for Gasoline as Fuel
C.H. Garrett, Dallas inventor, gave a private demonstration Saturday
of a recently patented contrivance which he said substituted water
for gasoline as fuel for internal combustion engines.
He said it broke up the water by electrolysis into its component
gases, oxygen and hydrogen, using the highly explosive hydrogen for
fuel in the motor cylinder.
The working model operated a four-cylinder engine for several
minutes in the demonstration, at varying speeds and with several
starts and stops. Garrett said he had operated the engine
continuously for more than forty-eight hours.
The inventor said the idea itself was not new. He explained that
difficulty had been encountered heretofore in attempts to store the
Page 3
dangerously inflammable hydrogen. He claimed to have AVOIDED that
trouble by making and exploding the gas in the SAME PROCESS without
a storage chamber in which the flames from the motor cylinders might
react.
Water, he explained, is broken down into its component gases by
passage of an electric current through it from electrodes immersed
in the water. Hydrogen collects at the negative pole and oxygen at
the positive. The hydrogen, Garrett said, is MIXED WITH AIR (78%
nitrogen and other gases...Vangard) and introduced DIRECTLY INTO THE
CYLINDERS.
The inventor said he had been working on the device for eight years,
assisted by his father, Henry Garrett, traffic signal engineer for
the city of Dallas, inventor of the traffic signal system, now in
use here and holder of several patents on such contrivances.
Garrett said attachment of the electrolytic carburetor and
installation of a generator of about DOUBLE normal capacity to
furnish power for the breaking down of the water were the only
changes needed to convert a gasoline burning automobile into a WATER
BURNER!
He said the electrolysis chamber would have to VARY IN SIZE with the
size of the motor used. One of ABOUT A QUART CAPACITY being big
enough for the ordinary automobile.
He claimed instantaneous starting in any weather, elimination of
fire hazards, cooler motor operation and fulfilling of all motor
requirements in power and speed. <end of article>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems with Hydrogen
One of the problems with the burning of hydrogen in an internal
combustion engine is that of EMBRITTLEMENT. This occurs when the
walls of the cylinder become saturated with hydrogen ions.
Corrosion Embrittlement - the embrittlement or loss of ductility of
metals due to corrosion, usually as a result of
intergranular attack which may not readily be visible.
As you can tell from this definition, the metal becomes fragile or
porous and can shatter or fracture upon impact, thus damaging the
engine. There is also the problem of excess heat. However, with
the Garrett patent and verification by modern research, both
problems have been overcome.
As to embrittlement, the acidity of water has been found to have a
great effect on the speed and the degree to which a material can be
dissolved. Generally speaking, the acidity of a system is measured
in units called the pH (hydogen concentration), ranging from 1 to
14. Neutral solutions have a pH of 7. A pH less than 7 means that
the solution is ACIDIC and more than 7 means that it is ALKALINE.
When a metal becomes corroded because of the acidity of the solution
in which it is immersed, it is due to an interchange of hydrogen
ions in the solution with the atoms of the exposed metal. When the
solution is liquid, the metal goes into the solution and hydrogen
tends to plate out on the piece.
Page 4
Once a hydrogen film has deposited on the exposed surfaces, the
dissolving of the metal will cease. Oxygen plays an important part
in this process, because the oxygen dissolved in water will react
with the film of hydrogen to eliminate it by forming water which
allows the corrosion process to proceed.
The following ignition and Btu charts help to compare gasoline and
other fuels to hydrogen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
When ignited, hydrogen burns in air with a pale blue to colorless,
nonluminous flame, yielding H20. When mixed with air, the
flammability limit is 4-74% hydrogen. When mixed with oxygen, the
flammability limit is 4-94% hydrogen. Care must always be exercised
where there may be hydrogen mixtures with air or oxygen because
VIOLENT EXPLOSIONS may occur. So we now understand that hydrogen
burns with a very hot, explosive and yet invisible flame.
To date, the cost has been prohibitive for providing commercial home
type uses. Not to mention the generally accepted yet quite faulty
idea of a CENTRALIZED source of power distribution. Such reliance
on central systems simply sustains the current need for each of us
to be dependent and supportive of these very large institutions.
Eventually, society will see how freedom, independence and
prosperity will come from the LOCAL generation of power and food
wherever possible.
The high temperatures produced when hydrogen reacts with oxygen or
fluorine, plus the low molecular weights of the product gases, have
made hydrogen a prime fuel for rocket propulsion, since rocket
thrust increases directly with the temperature and inversely with
the molecular weight of the exhaust gases.
Page 5
Some studies have indicated that the cost of transporting and
distributing hydrogen by pipeline may be less than the cost of
transporting and distributing electric power. Presumably existing
natural gas pipelines and distribution systems can be adapted to the
use of hydrogen.
Although hydrogen has a net heating value of only 275 Btus per cubic
foot, as compared with 913 Btus per cubic foot for methane, the
lower density and viscosity of hydrogen make it possible for a
pipeline to deliver about the same amount of thermal energy as with
methane, at a somewhat higher compression cost.
The thermal energy in hydrogen can be utilized more efficiently in
home heating than natural gas, because hydrogen can be burned in
nonconventional heaters, with no loss of heat, since its only
primary combustion product is water. By using flameless catalytic
heaters, nitrogen oxide can be eliminated. However, oxygen
depletion of closed spaces will still present a hazard.
Hydrogen mixed with gasoline has generated as much as a 50%
improvement in overall efficiency. A test motorcar obtained 19
miles per pound of hydrogen. However, since liquid hydrogen weighs
only 0.58 pound per gallon, the mileage figure was 11 miles per
gallon of liquid hydrogen. The use of liquid hydrogen as a motor
fuel thus presents several major problems despite its basic
attractions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hydrogen for home heating
Using hydrogen for home heating requires some other considerations.
Because hydrogen burns with a hotter flame, some design features of
current heating apparatus would require changes. The energy content
per unit mass of liquid hydrogen is about 2.75 times greater than
that of hydrocarbon fuels. On the other hand, there are only 325
Btus per standard cubic foot of hydrogen as compared with about
1,000 Btus per standard cubic foot of natural gas. The ignition
energy of hydrogen is about 0.02 millijoules, which is less than 7%
that of natural gas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hydrogen for lighting
Lighting via the use of hydrogen can be accomplished by the
phenomenon of CONDOLUMINESCENCE, a cold process. A phosphor is
spread on the inside of a tube similar to the conventional
fluorescent lamp. Upon coming in contact with the phosphor, small
amounts of hydrogen combine with the oxygen in the air to excite
bright luminescence in the phosphor. (Is this the secret of the
mysterious "perpetual lamps" as found in ancient tombs?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Electrolysis of water
The theoretical power required to produce hydrogen from water is 79
KiloWatts per 1,000 cubic feet of hydrogen gas.
Modern electrolyzers consist of:
1) Tank cells with monopolar electrodes. Porous diaphragms
separate the alternate cathodes and anodes to prevent gas
mixing. The anodes and cathodes are connected in parallel
Page 6
to keep the required voltage at approximately 2 volts and to
permit high current densities. This arrangement requires a
large floor area.
2) Bipolar electrodes, connected in series and suitably
insulated. The electrodes are cathodic on one side; anodic
on the other side. This arrangement requires less floor
space, is more complex, and requires high voltages.
High pressure can also increase electrolyzer efficiency. A
commercially available electrolyzer operates at pressures of 30
atmospheres (about 450 PSI), 194 degrees F., requiring 300 amperes
of electric current at 217 volts. Other units operating at current
densities of 800 amps per square foot can produce up to 4,400 pounds
of hydrogen per hour.
So, with all the above, we can see both the promise and some of the
problems with the use of hydrogen as fuel. Personally, I was amazed
while digging this info from the Van Nostrand Encyclopedia on
finding that hydrogen could be used to produce light.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Further Info
As stated above, the primary problems with Hydrogen are the
excessive heat and the embrittlement problem.
Both problems have been solved according to a NOVA video entitled
Hydrogen - the Invisible Flame. The use of a stoichiometric mix of
hydrogen to oxygen (as in Yull Brown's Gas), with outside air
eliminates the embrittlement problem while water vapor sucked into
the intake cools the exploding gas mixture to reduce the heat. Both
of these techniques were pioneered by Charles Garrett, tested and
patented in 1935.

Electrolytic Carburetor
Charles H. Garrett, Dallas, Texas
Application July 1, 1932, Serial No. 620,364
Renewed November 30, 1934
5 Claims (Cl. 204-5)
This invention relates to carburetors and it has particular
reference to an electrolytic carburetor by means of which water may
be broken up into its hydrogen and oxygen constituents and the gases
so formed suitably mixed with air.
The principal object of the invention is to provide in a device of
the character described, a mechanism by means of which water may be
readily decomposed into its constituents, and the constituents
intimately mixed with each other and with air.
Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby the
electrolyte level in the carburetor may be maintained at a more or
Page 7
less constant level regardless of fluctuations in fluid pressure at
the fluid inlet of the carburetor.
Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby the
relative amount of air mixed with the hydrogen and oxygen may be
regulated as desired.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of means to
prevent loss of hydrogen and oxygen gases during periods in which
these gases are not being drawn from the carburetor.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of means
whereby the hydrogen and oxygen resulting from electrolysis may be
formed in separate compartments, and a further object of the
invention is the provision of means to periodically reverse the
direction of current flow and thereby alternate the evolution of the
gases in the separate compartments, to be later intermingled.
With the foregoing objects as paramount, the invention has
particular reference to its salient features of construction and
arrangement of parts, taken in connection with the accompanying
drawings, wherein: -
Figure 1 is a view in vertical section of one form of carburetor.
Figure 2 is a modified form.
Figure 3 is a diagrammatic view of a pole changer, showing its
actuating mechanism, and
Figure 4 is a wiring diagram for the modified form of carburetor
shown in Figure 2.
Continuing more in detail with the drawings, reference is primarily
directed to Figure 1 in which the reference numeral 1 designates the
carburetor housing, which is preferably constructed of bakelite or
other suitable insulating material. The housing 1 is so designed as
to divide the carburetor into a float chamber 2 and gas generating
chamber 4, connected by a fluid passage 3.
Water UNDER PRESSURE is FORCED into the carburetor through an
opening 5 which communicates with the float chamber 2 through the
medium of the sediment chamber 6 and the needle valve orifice 7,
which is closed by a needle valve 8 when the device is not in
operation. A float 9 surrounds the needle valve 8 and is free to
move vertically relative thereto. Depending from the cover 10 to
the float chamber 2 are two ears 11, located at spaced intervals on
opposite sides of the needle valve 8. The members 12 are pivoted to
the ears 11, as shown. The weighted outer ends of the members 12
rest on top of the float 9, and their inner ends are received in an
annular groove in the collar 13 which is rigidly attached to the
needle valve 8.
Within the gas generating chamber 4, a series of spaced, depending
plates 14 are suspended from a horizontal member 15 to which a wire
16 has electrical contact through the medium of the bolt 17, which
extends inwardly through the housing 1 and is threaded into the
horizontal member 15.
A second series of plates 18 is located intermediate the plates 14
and attached to the horizontal member 19, and has electrical contact
with the wire 20 through the bolt 21.
Page 8
A gas passageway 22, in which a butterfly valve 23 is located,
communicates with the gas generating chamber 4 through an orifice
24. An air inlet chamber 25 has communication with the gas
passageway 22 above the orifice 24. A downwardly opening check
valve 26 is in control of the openings 27, and is held inoperatively
closed by means of light spring 28.
An adjustable auxiliary air valve 29 is provided in the wall of the
gas passageway 22, which air valve is closed by the butterfly valve
23 when the butterfly valve is closed, but communicates with the
outside air when the butterfly valve is open.
The operation of the device is as follows :
The chambers 2 and 4 are first filled to the level 'a' with a
solution of weak sulphuric acid or other electrolyte not changed by
the passage of current therethrough, and the opening 5 is connected
to a tank of water, not shown.
The wire 16 is next connected to the positive pole of a storage
battery or other source of direct current and the wire 20 to the
negative pole. Since the solution within the carburetor is a
conductor of electricity, current will flow therethrough and
hydrogen will be given off from the negative or cathode plates 18
and oxygen from the positive or anode plates 14.
The butterfly valve 23 is opened and the gas passageway 22 brought
into communication with a partial vacuum. Atmospheric pressure
acting on the top of the check valve 26 causes it to be forced
downwardly as shown in dotted lines. The hydrogen and oxygen
liberated from the water at the plates 18 and 14 are drawn upwardly
through the orifice 24 covered by the check valve 30 where they are
subsequently mixed with air entering through the openings 27 and
through the auxiliary air valve 29.
When it is desired to reduce the flow of hydrogen and oxygen from
the plates 18 and 14, the current flowing through the device is
reduced, and when the current is interrupted the flow ceases. When
the butterfly valve 23 is moved to closed position, the check valve
26 is automatically closed by the spring 28. Any EXCESS GAS given
off during these operations IS STORED in the space above the fluid
where it is ready for subsequent use.
Water is converted into its gaseous constituents by the device
herein described, but the dilute sulphuric acid or other suitable
electrolyte in the carburetor REMAINS UNCHANGED, since it is not
destroyed by electrolysis, and the parts in contact therewith are
made of bakelite and lead or other material not attacked by the
electrolyte.
The structure shown in Figure 2 is substantially the same as that
shown in Figure 1 with the exception that the modified structure
embraces a larger gas generating chamber which is divided by means
of an insulating plate 31 and is further provided with a depending
baffle plate 32 which separates the gas generating chamber 33 from
the float chamber 34 in which the float 35 operates in the same
manner as in Figure 1. Moreover, the structure shown in Figure 2
provides a series of spaced depending plates 36 which are
electrically connected to the wire 37, and a second series of
Page 9
similar plates 38 which are electrically connected to the wire 39
and are spaced apart from the plates 36 by the insulating plate 31.
Gases generated on the surfaces of the plates 36 and 38 pass upward
through the orifice 39a into the gas passageway 40 where they are
mixed with air as explained in the description of Figure 1.
A pipe 51 bent as shown in Figure 2 passes downwardly through the
housing of the carburetor and has a series of spaced apertures 'a'
in its horizontal portion beneath the plates 36 and 38. An upwardly
opening check valve 53 is in control of the air inlet 54. When a
partial vacuum exists in the chamber 33, air is drawn in through the
opening 54 and subsequently passes upwardly through the apertures
'a'. This air tends to remove any bubbles of gas collecting on the
plates 36 and 38 and also tends to cool the electrolyte. The check
valve 53 automatically closes when a gas pressure exists within the
carburetor and thereby prevents the electrolyte from being forced
out of the opening 54.
In order to provide for alternate evolution of the gases from the
plates 36 and 38, a pole changer 41, shown in Figure 3 is provided,
which is actuated periodically by the motor 42 which drives the worm
43 and the gear 44 and causes oscillations of the member 45 which is
connected by a spring 46 to the arm 47, thereby causing the pole
changer to snap from one position to the other.
In operation, the carburetor shown in Figure 2 is connected as shown
in the wiring diagram of Figure 4. A storage battery 48 or other
suitable source of direct current is connected to a variable
rheostat 49, switch 50, pole changer 41 and to the carburetor as
shown. Thus the rate of evolution of the gases can be controlled by
the setting of the rheostat 49 and the desired alternate evolution
of the gases in the compartments of the carburetor is accomplished
by means of the periodically operated pole changer 41.
Manifestly, the construction shown is capable of considerable
modification and such modification as is considered within the scope
and meaning of the appended claims is also considered within the
spirit and intent of the invention.

Useful tips for experimenters
The electrolyte mixture used in the Horvath patent is 25%
potassium hydroxide with 75% of distilled water.
This is a good initial mix for the Garrett patent and we
recommend you stick with what works, i.e. the Garrett idea of
battery acid (weak sulphuric acid) in a beginning mixture of 25%
sulphuric acid with 75% water (should be lakewater based on the
newpaper articles...<grin>....).
So many people want to jump from base level to a flying saucer or
free energy generator without proving the basic phenomenon. This
causes a loss of confidence and a waste of money because the
"improved" design did not work and abandonment of the project.
Other options include :
1) Magnets - either alternating fields or preferably
monopoles (i.e. north or south ONLY)
2) An Ultraviolet source to help break down the water
3) Injection of sound either as a "tickler" or at high
amplitudes as in PUHA1 on KeelyNet, with a frequency of
600 cps
4) Injection of sound as Keely recommends at one or all of
the following: 620 - 630 - 12,000 - 42,800 cycles per
second
5) Textured surfaces for the electrodes to allow the more
rapid release of the gases as they are formed, "oozing"
off easier into large bubbles
6) Large surface electrodes, convolutions, etc. for greater
generation of gases (lead electrodes best)
7) Heat is generated in the process, but the water bonds
would be broken much easier and faster if the electrolyte
chamber was heated
8) DC with an AC signal at shock excitation amplitudes, the
DC would keep the water excited, the AC would shock it at
any of the above frequencies
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Caveats and safety warnings
Hydrogen is EXPLOSIVE!
Hydrogen is INVISIBLE WHEN IT IS BURNING!
Page 11
Resonance of water molecules at high amplitudes could possibly
EXPLODE the hydrogen/oxygen bond (refer DANART1 on KeelyNet)!
In a chamber filled with water, this could be DISASTROUS,
possibly leading to a chain reaction!! So take every possible
precaution if you choose to experiment with sonics!!!

We here at Vangard Sciences/KeelyNet and our Associates believe in
and practice the free and open release of information relating to
energy production, health and levitation technologies. Such
information should not be monopolized, suppressed or otherwise
restricted from benefitting the public at large.
If you choose to experiment with this device, we urge you to be
extremely careful and would greatly appreciate your findings or
comments. We will also report on what we find, perhaps with many
minds and approaches, this can yet be a viable project. Hybridizing
of many techniques to achieve an end result is THE WAY!
Imagine, one simple process that can provide:
1) heat - through the burning of hydrogen/oxygen
2) power for local energy generation - the explosive energy to
drive a piston to drive a shaft to drive a generator. That
generator charges a battery network which feeds an inverter
(converts DC to AC) to run your house
3) motive power for transport power - explosive energy drives
the piston to drive your vehicle
4) light - condoluminescence - hydrogen/oxygen exposed to

5) sound amplification - flame speakers where flame is
electrostatically deflected at audio rates to produce sound,
the hydrogen/oxygen mix is generated LOCALLY rather than
using bottled gases such as propane, butane, etc.
