What about "those little green granules"? by Jimmy Ward On July 13, 1979, the story of Guido Franch and his "Mota-Fuel" made the papers nationwide. He claimed he could turn ordinary tap water into 105 octane gasoline by merely adding some green crystals to it. With a gasoline shortage in full swing, his announcement was met with a great deal of interest. Franch, 69, of Villa Park, Illinois, had been subpoenaed to appear in Federal Court with records "relating to the purchase of any fuel, fuel powder, or fuel formula in (his) possession or under (his) control" since 1968. Franch did not claim credit for discovering the mysterious fuel, only for converting the formula for use as a motor fuel. The real inventor, he claimed, was Alexander Craft, a german scientist who died in 1941. Kraft was a rocket fuel expert involved in "doing research way ahead of his time." Franch claimed he could make one pound of granules out of 25 pounds of coal and that it cost him about $100 to make a pound of granules, but mass production would drive the cost down to about $4.00 a pound or about 8 cents per gallon of gasoline. He was later charged, tried and convicted of bilking large sums of money from his investors who were never allowed to see how he made his granules or even how he converted water to "gasoline". They were given containers filled with a greenish liquid that smelled like cleaning fluid instead. It did burn and even power cars, however. Page 1 Was he only a con artist, or did he really convert water to fuel - or both? It is interesting to note that during the trial, the matter of whether he actually could or couldn't convert water to fuel was hardly mentioned. More curiously, the allegation that his "Mota-Fuel" was a hoax was NEVER mentioned. In fact, there was no mention of any hoax at all, only that he had "stolen" money from his investors. Does this mean "Mota-Fuel" was real? And that it was made from coal-derived granules? Actually, this is not the first time those green granules made from coal have turned up. In the Cincinnati Enquirer for April 25, 1897, an aeroship (see Aero files in the Gravity section of KeelyNet), was reported to have landed, tha occupants of which claimed their craft used a "volatile substance" that somehow NEGATED THE FORCE OF GRAVITY. C.A.A. Dellschau died in 1924 leaving behind several books of drawings of strange looking airships allegedly designed in the mid-1800s which used a gas that negated gravity in order to fly. The gas was made by adding green crystals to ordinary water. Coincidence? These crystals were made from coal too. Even more bizarre is the story of one Dr. Rhinelander (apparently a pseudonym) who allegedly was contacted by aliens toward the end of the century. They supposedly gave him plans to build an aerial craft which would operate on a propulsion principle totally unknown to him. He was instructed to collect scientists and migrate to a coal mining area of the MidWest. The nearby coal mines were to supply the basic ingredients for a new fuel which could be made from ordinary water. Those green granules again! More "down to earth" is the story of John Andrews. In 1917, he used a green powder to convert sea water to gasoline before the astonished eyes of several US Navy brass. Even though it was tested in the tank of a motorboat and proved more than satisfactory, the Navy was "not interested". In fact, he seems to have been unable to find anyone who was interested! In 1935, he converted tap water into fuel before members of the Bureau of Standards and gave a demonstration of its power, but they too declined to take action. There are other stories of other inventors who appear to have been able to transform water into something resembling gasoling. All of them have the same basic elements : green granules or powder MADE FROM COAL. Demonstrations are given, often before such people as Earl Eisenhower (brother of the president), or large companies such as Ford Motor Co. or Standard Oil. Typically the alleged inventor never takes full credit for his discovery and declines to divulge the secret process for creating the mysterious granules. Fact or fiction? FOCUS doesn't know either. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
