This is a collection of letters that have been sent to me at my web
site. They have been edited only to protect identity if desired by the author These are
just some of the hundreds of responses that I have had. I try to deal with each although
my responses are not in my files as when I changed systems my in box was so big it would
not transfer all at once and just lost the file. If any do not get a response from me
please keep trying as I keep up as best I can. But please only E mail after you have
searched my information. I hate answering questions when answered are there. If you wish
to have your comments here just ask in your E mail and state if you want to put your
identity on to maybe be contacted by others working in your area. I feel the more we get

Hi Bruce In 1982; in Denver, Col.; I designed and built an ugly but
functional vapor carb. for my 1967 Dodge Coronet. It used exhaust heat to assist in the
vaporizing of the gasoline- which was sprayed into the heat exchanger at the bottom of the
device- and the vapor rose through a maze of approx. 25 feet folded back and forth on
itself at which it exited into a 2 1/2" ID hose (radiator hose) which I ran to an
adapter on top of my existing carb which I used to start the 318 cubic inch engine. I
achieved 87 miles per gallon. The machine shop that I had help me make the contraption
told me that they had helped an earlier inventor with a very NICE carb. to adapt it to his
auto- with approximately similar results. (Mine only ran me about $500 total w/ all the
junk you have to assemble to get it to work.) They warned me not to make it too public,
because the other inventor got the notice of some oil people from Texas who came up and
gave him an offer to assume his invention. He refused. His home and workshop burned down 2
days later. He moved to parts unknown. I just thought you might find it interesting to
hear from someone who has done this before. My point in the whole thing was; "If I
could achieve 80+ mpg with a total of $500 invested- on a '67 Dodge Coronet 318 V8; what
could Chrysler do with the millions they have to invest?" Have a good time. It will
do no good. The forces that be will not acknowledge that things like this work. And they
can afford to make you disappear if need be. The old saying is true: Sometimes being
paranoid is the right thing to be. They are out to get you. JR (currently a futures trader

Hi Bruce, It's good to hear of your excellent work. I am a member of
the Tesla Society and that is how I got your web page. In the early 80's I got a copy of
the Secrets of the 200 mph carb and began my tinkering. I built a Pogue design and mounted
it on my vw powered dc welder and battery charger (I've used wind power since 1977). The
fuel consumption dropped to 1/4 normal. I mounted it on my VW van and failed to realize
the gas tank was higher than the device and had fuel running out of it! I then welded a 20
foot steel gas line coiled into 3 inch coils into the vw muffler and ran a gas line from
the high pressure fuel pump up to the dash with a needle valve and back to the coil in the
muf then out the other end and into the air cleaner. I had a solenoid fuel shut off
between the stock fuel pump and stock carb so once the engine warmed up I could switch
over and another fuel valve on the high mileage fuel circuit as well a switch for the high
press fuel pump. On a test run I got 75 mpg. I ran the fuel with the needle valve and the
air flow with the throttle pedal. After several hundred miles the line in the muffler
plugged up with carbon. The next project was the Ray Covey device which I found needed to
have the vapor tube exiting in the stock carb venturis which I fashioned out of copper
tubing and installed in the primaries of a four barrel on a 64 Buick Skylark. In Tucson in
the early 80's a guy came through with a Cad with an off the shelf device claiming 100 mpg
and put on a workshop with 500 in attendance. He also got local publicity. He was using a
Sunstrand gearmotor and pump and a 1000 watt heating element around a stainless tube with
wire strands stuffed inside and a high amp alternator to run it. I just thought I'd share
some of my experiences. At the time I was doing this tinkering I was attending the
University of Az mechanical engineering school and wanted to do my senior project running
tests on the dynamometer but could get no takers to work with me. I was shocked that no
one was interested. That was the year that the engineering school high mileage car contest
winner was shown on the ABC evening news with a glass flask of boiling gasoline as part of
the device. I couldn't believe it--a high mileage fuel vaporizer on the national news. Of
course there was no verbal mention, just the picture. The public sure has a right to the
technology! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help! Barry Miller 1288 W. 11th
St. #278 Tracy, CA. 95376bamiller@igc.apc.org ps: I'm looking forward to getting a
workshop set up and tinkering again.
Hi Bruce I had the pleasure of talking to Mrs Pogue some years ago
on the telephone, at a Hospice that Mr Pogue was at, during his final days on Earth. All I
asked her was " Did the device really work? "Her reply was " Yes, it sure
did " I said " Thank You " I wished them all the best, and said good-bye.
The other people I contacted, had all passed on. But on of the peoples sons said that at a
steady speed of 55 MPH, it once went 94 miles on a Quart of 60 octane fuel during a warm
spring day. same V-8 Ford was used for the test. BOB.
Have you ever heard about a company named "Terralogix" who
claim to have produce a molecular carburetor so efficient that no residues can be found at
he tail pipe of a car? That company was in Eastman, Quebec, Canada; I've heard about it in
the news, then it just disappeared from public scene... Conspiration of the fuel industry
leaders?
I have a copy of the DeRegeris Carburetor US#3920778, Nov 18, 1975.
It was passed to me by a man who said they would soon go into production but (hate to
sound like a conspiracy nut) mysteriously disappeared. If you are interested in a scanned
copy and other documents relating to this super carb E-me and I will send them to you.
I've been packing them around for years and knowing that someone someday might have
interest in them. -
Dear Mr. Bruce McBurney, My name is ------------------ and I work at
--------------------- International Airport. Today on the way home from work I was sitting
in the back of our van (I'm an electricians assistant) when someone started to say
something about how in the 60's a few hundred Ford Mustangs were accidentally installed
with a very efficent carburetor. I found this so amazing that as soon as I got home I
began to do all the research that I possibly could. It turned out to be more of an
investigation.... by chance I found your name as well as your E-mail Address I wanted to
write you and let you know that you have my support. If you have the time please write me
back explaining this Ford Mustang "accident". I'd also love to hear as much
information as you can share with me about your carb. My last question is a little more
direct...What can I do to help/learn/contribute....?
lse Charge Technology and any internal combustion engine} completed
its final testing. Joseph LaStella, President of B.A.T. International, rented the Penske
California Speedway (February 7, 1998) to complete final testing of the car under actual
test track conditions. During raining conditions, the car easily exceeded its earlier
performance of 92.5 miles per gallon set on January 15, 1998. (See PR January 16, 1998)
Joseph LaStella also stated that the public response to the January 15, 1998 de
monstration has been overwhelmingly positive, except for a few skeptical remarks from
Detroit and Wall Street. B.A.T. International would like to publicly extend a personal
invitation to attend the demonstration held on February 10, 1998--to those few skeptics
that are left. All three automobile manufacturers have contacted B.A.T. International
about Dolphin technology and B.A.T. has extended invitations to them to witness the test
on February 10th (No confirmations as of yet) In addition, pers onal invitations have been
sent to other major automobile manufacturers, auto industry OEM suppliers and government
officials to participate in the certification process. Representatives of Boeing and
American YAZAKI Corporation {major component suppl ier to Detroit} will attend as
certifies in addition to the original team of five nationally known certificants headed by
Rodger Ward two-time winner of the Indy 500 race. B.A.T. International officials report
that the new technology increases power a s well as fuel efficiency. The technology does
not require retooling for use with current engines and will result in little or no
increase in engine cost. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT

Dear Mr. J. Bruce McBurney, Just a P.S. Did you happen to hear about
"Smokey" Henry Yunick's adiabatic engine? He holds several patents related to
the article I saw in the April 1983 issue of Popular Science. He managed to get 150 Hp and
60 MPG out of a 78 ci. 2 cyl motor. The article even goes on to say that one of the
"detroit boys" were donating a car (chassis) to him for testing. Of course
you've never heard about this since. Check out patent #4,862,859 and his related patents.
------------- { I did get a copy of that article quite interesting. Bruce }
Dear Bruce I am pleased to see your site. In the 1980s I was one of
the many that purchased one of Ray Covey's manuals and I even attempted to build a unit of
my own to Ray's design but automated. I have downloaded most of your pages and at present
have only briefly read them, one point that I am not sure whether you brought out was the
fact that Mr Otto designed the internal combustion engine to run on a vapor, not a liquid,
this is the main reason why we are able to get a huge increase in mileage when we turn our
heads away from the oil company thinking and towards the likes of your invention.
Basically, what I am trying to get at is volume to surface area ratios. The petrol liquid
has a much larger volume to surface area ratio than does the vapor, therefore it takes
longer to burn the liquid than it does the vapor. Today's modern engines are getting less
and less efficient as the manufacturers decrease the stroke of their engines to increase
revs as it is often been pointed out to me that the longer stroke diesel engines are far
more efficient than their petrol counterparts. I hope I haven't babbled too much and I
hope that this may be of some interest to you. All the best from New Zealand and if I can
be of any assistance in disseminating information, please feel free to contact me.
Hi guys and girls, {not carbs but Helpful information., I keep
getting return mail I did not send with attachments, I just delete it, Bruce } Just a
clarification about viruses in E mails. Firstly, a virus cannot infect your system or hard
disk unless the program it is hosted in is run. If a virus is downloaded to your computer
in an E mail, the only way this can happen is if it is hidden inside a program which is
attached to the E mail. By opening the E mail to read it, there is absolutely no way that
such a virus can infect your computer or hard disk. The only way to infect your system is
by actually running the program itself. A virus is a piece of programming code (binary)
which executes its own little instructions, but it can only be activated from within
another active program. If you think you have a virus sent to you by E mail, simply delete
the E mail without downloading or saving the attachment. If an E mail has no
attachment...it has no virus! Just thought you might like to know! Tim { me too, Bruce}
Mr. McBurney,
I felt compelled to write to you and tell you that you are a wonderful human being and
that if more people were like you, they world would be a much better place to live in. I
have read the data included on your page concerning your super carb and being of a t
echnical nature myself found it completely easy to understand. I am very sorry for your
loss at the patent office but I do feel that "big brother" had an evil hand in
it. I am a backyard experimenter with all types of "free energy" devices for my
self a nd family and not for profit. Miracles liked these should be shared with the world
. My main reason is that I am disabled and live on a fixed income, and with a wife and
three children, that can be difficult. I am planning to order your book as soon as I can
manage to save the extra 20 bucks. I know it isn't much for such wonderful information,
but I do have certain financial obligations that prohibits me from spending freely.
Greetings, Mr McBurney! I located your web site via a search for
"Larry Wagner" who was a person that I was aquatinted with in the late 1970's in
Tacoma, WA state. A few years ago, there was an article in the Tacoma New Tribune
(SoundLife section) detailing his work producing a motion picture on a bare-bones budget.
The topic of the picture was about a homeless man, and Larry himself was at the time
substantially homeless. There was no mention in the article about his work with jet engine
improvements (made when he was in the Air Force or carburetion experiments. When I knew
him, he was mostly interested in counter rotational systems that would propel crafts into
space. But he was selling his book at "Flea Markets" and such. Also, during a
period in the early 1980's he again became successful with a series of shops (3 I believe)
bearing the title "Carburetion Technology" in the Puget Sound area. In talking
with him, he told me he had gone from destitute to millionaire at least twice in the 70's
alone. I cannot confirm or deny any of this though. I CAN say he seemed to be an extremely
sincere individual and quite intelligent. Please reply to me at idt.net if you would like
to discuss Mr Wagner or other topics further. Thanks for reading, Please, sir, do not stop
selling this book or take down your web site for it is the greatest source of information
I have ran across in my journeys through the net. I intend to recommend this page and book
to everyone I know. Thank you again for your time and brilliance. Sincerely, BB
Hi! I have visited your site many times and am convinced that higher
than normal mileage is indeed possible. Several years ago, a co-worker who used to manage
a gas station told me about a customer who was concerned when his full-size car started
getting "only" 17 MPG. I forget the exact figure that the car had usually
gotten, but it was somewhere around 30 MPG. My friend couldn't fix the carb to get the
previous mileage, so the car was taken to the dealer, who promptly replaced the carb and
took the old one. They said the carb was experimental and was not intended for release.
Since hearing this story, I have not been able to ignore any account of higher than normal
mileage. Your site has done much to explain why high mileage carbs work. And possibly more
important, why they fail after a period of working. I definitely understand the problems
posed by additives in the cracking process, in fact, I am a chemist by trade. I also agree
that this needs to be developed in the public domain in order to safeguard it for the
public and from those who would try to keep it in obscurity. It was with great interest
that I read your account of the gas mileage you achieved with a dodge maxi-van. I myself
have a 1981 dodge van with a 360 cid motor. When I bought it, it was my dream to somehow
get 30 MPG with it. After seeing the information on your site, I am sure that it is quite
possible. I would like to get any information you can give me on how to achieve that. I
would be glad to send a donation to HIMAC Research in exchange for any information or
plans that could help me. I would also be glad to do what I can to answer any chemical
questions. Thanks T.N.
Bruce; I was very happy and not suprised to see so many other
inventors who have had reached the same conclusion: The internal combustion engine is
capable of 2-5 times better fuel economy with little changes. I too have stumbled on to
fantastic, supposedly unachievable fuel economy. I have a 1987 Ford F150 Four wheel drive
pickup truck with a 302Cu In V-8, Fuel Injected (Sequential port) and the Ford EEC-IV
engine Management system. For the past 3 years, I have averaged 42 to 85 MPG while running
on the front fuel tank (the truck has two tanks). The reason for the increased mileage is
that the in tank fuel pump is defective, it runs HOT HOT HOT. So, guess what is supposed
to cool the pump? The gasoline! When you run the truck with 1-5 gallons in the front tank,
the fuel is heating up to 100 to 140 degrees F prior to reaching the fuel injectors. Since
this heated liquid is pressurized in the fuel delivery system, it can't vaporize. But,
once it reaches the cylinders, it vaporizes at a fantastic rate. Since fuel injection
systems use a closed loop design, unused fuel is returned to the fuel tanks. The computer
determines the fuel injector pulse width duration based on exhaust pipe sensors (O2) to
determine the appropriate fuel/air mixture. So the system determines it needs much less
gasoline for a given air mixture at each cylinder. When the gasoline super evaporates, the
O2 sensor senses an overly "rich" mixture, then starts retarding the fuel
injector pulse width to lean out the mixture. This mileage gain is not dependent on
gasoline supply, I have used Texaco, Amoco, Super America, Phillips 66, Holiday Gas, with
no variation. Also, there is no mileage degradation over time as you have reported with
the TCC systems. This phenomenon is repeatable and occurs with NO modifications to the
truck, engine, computer, or fuel system. The Fuel tank has the original cap which starts
venting at 1.4psi. When I use the rear fuel tank, I get the normal 13 MPG. There have been
no derivability problems, the truck runs the same on either tank. I have applied for a
grant from the Department of Energy (NIST) to further develop an add-on system for all
sequential fuel injected vehicles that could be cut-in during automobile manufacturing as
well. My grant application has made it through 3 of the 5 rounds of evaluation. I also am
filing a provisional patent application (good for 1 year), the invention is called the
"Fuel Vaporizer & Economizer" Ford Motor Company has shown interest, they
requested me to sign a release document and send them all my data. I refused of course.
The EPA has a test program, but it cost $6,000 to test one vehicle. They require two
vehicles for testing that represent the majority of vehicles on the road today and in the
foreseeable future. I have not spoken about this device in public, only family and a few
close friends are aware of it. I am working to add fuel tank heaters (360Watt) and
controllers to a GM vehicle to see if we can duplicate the mileage gains. I am looking for
your recommendations, suggestions, and any detailed explanation on why my system works so
well. Thank you for your help. Mark Sampica mark_d_sampica@notes.seagate.com 17275 81st

Dear Mr. McBurney, I heard you on the (G1) satellite radio show last
week, and took a bit of time to read your info on the Internet. I haven't read it all, but
must admit I never gave the subject much serious thought before-- largely due to far too
many fanatics and morons trying to explain (or more often not explaining anything) about
the subject. I hadn't ever heard of the concept of cracking the petrol. That's a lot
different than merely fastening on magnets, or vaporizing the fuel! One of your items in
efficiency caught my eye as being wrong. When you said "1 B.T.U. of heat is produced
by 1 .K.W. in 1 second", it sounds like you are saying it is equivalent, by
definition. Actually, it turns out very close anyhow, but what bothered me initially was
the way it was stated. My table shows: a BTU = 1.055 kWatt-sec (times 3600 sec/hr.) leads
to 3800 kwh/BTU (instead of the 3600 you showed) As near as I can tell, your objective was
to compare typical fuel use to the ideal. If so, then the comparison to electric cars, I
suppose, was merely a way to follow what you understand, to arrive at some sort of
standard for 100% efficiency. My question would be, why not go directly to the point and
skip the electricity? I don't have the thermal content of gas, don't know about the 12 hp.
for a 60 mph cruise, but: I show 6.06 lb/gal for auto gasoline (a bit lighter than water's
8.3) & 2546 BTU/hp.hr (horsepower-hour) if we use 20,000 BTU/lb & 12 hp for 60mph
cruise (not enough to _drive_ a car however) 12/60 = 5 mile/hp.hr (--view in monospaced
font--) then: 60 mi hp.hr 20,000 BTU 6.06 lb -------- * -------- * ---------- * ------- =
238 mi/gal gas 12 hp.hr 2546 BTU lb. gal. So, at 24 mpg, you'd be operating at a mere 10%
efficiency) or combined: 2856/# hp to cruise 60 mph = ideal mpg Adjusting for the larger
hp you allowed for round numbers & 20 mpg, things check out pretty close: 2856/13.4 hp
= 213 mpg (into 20mpg = 9.4% efficiency) So, I worked through it, and find that what
looked bad turned out not so far off (considering round numbers) but at least here's
another way of looking at it! :-) B A. Montana { I Like it when someone does it a
different way and come with the basically the same answer, Bruce} ***from HIMAC web site:

only been on the net for a couple of weeks, and finding your site has totally overwhelmed
me. Please print out the attached letter. I would first like to thank you for opening my
eyes Your HIMAC website has not only greatly disturbed and enraged me, but I now have
great difficulty getting to sleep at night. Your HIMAC website has not only greatly
disturbed and enraged me, but I now have great difficulty getting to sleep at night.
Although what you've stated in your testimony makes perfectly logical sense, I had to be
sure. After following your links, and doing some research on TCC and various vapor
carburetor patents, I failed to understand why this "simple" technology wasn't
exploited further. I then visited a couple of mileage maker websites (one of which was
published by the EPA) only to realize that their reviews of fuel vapor systems. or
carburetor patents, I realized that political and corporate intervention is a greater
threat to mankind, than the emissions that we breathe. You have moved me so much, that I
would like nothing better than to join your fight. Here's a basic run-down of who I am. My
name is C D M { Deleted.} I am 24 years old and I have been working on cars since about
the age of 11. I graduated as high school valedictorian in 1991 from Glenella Collegiate,
Glenella Manitoba. (a small farming community.) I was a transmission mechanic for
approximately 3 years until a serious back injury forced me to quit. During my recovery
from back surgery, I proceeded to start my own business publishing a small-town
"hot-rod" style of magazine called "Canadian", only to realize that
the market in rural rodders is extremely limited. Nothing' ventured nothing' gained right?
I have attained my certificate in Heavy-Duty Electronics (a ten month course dealing with
the application and function of automotive and heavy-duty electronic fuel injection
systems) from Assiniboine Community College in Brandon MB class of '93. I also have
certificates in small engine repair, photography and desktop publishing. Since hanging up
my camera, I've spent my time driving a 3-ton truck doing custom feedlot cleaning, and
spending this past winter working as a mobile mechanic for a couple of farmers I know. I
have already begun spreading the word about this suppressed fuel economy technology to a
great many of my friends (who are also very mechanically inclined) and we all agree that
this idea makes perfect sense. Along with copies of issues #1 and 2 of My magazine, I will
be sending HIMAC a personal donation of $50.00. Although at present I don't have the
capital to make a stock market investment, I am voraciously interested in becoming a
volunteer I know in my heart that if enough people can see these devices work and get
their hands on this environment saving technology, governments and big corporations will
no longer be able to suppress it. I also realize the implications and dangers of joining a
battle such as this, but I believe that the financial and personal risks are far
outweighed by the benefits to this planet and the human race. Thank you for taking the
time to read this mailing C.D.M.
Greetings! My organization began to develop a system analogous to
HIMAC about three weeks ago. Results have been very promising: about 25 MPG city from a

Bruce, It has appeared to me that you have come up with an answer to
a problem which has troubled me for nearly ten years. In 1980 I also started on a journey
in search of the truth to the true potential of gas mileage. I had obtained a copy of
Allan Wallaces first book in 1980 "Design&Theory of the 200 MPG Carburetor"
and since have got all other publications issued by Allan Wallace. I have also obtained
Ray Covey's book and Naylor&Son's book. I have also pulled up a multitude of patents
from the microfilm of the Minneapolis library. My Grandfather and I started experimenting
on systems in the spring of 1980 with great success with small engine application as our
knowledge built and progressed we advanced our designs of a Pogue carburetor onto a 1972
ford pickup and an old model pontiac. The 1972 ford carburetion system's mileage varyed
depending upon factors that at the time seemed ellusive to us but all the same my best
attempt pushed upward of 70 MPG. My Grandfather was a WWII machinist and owned and ran a
Mobil gas station in St.Paul,Mn. Our curiosity furthered out venture into the use of alter
and hydrogen as fuels from our studies of water and hydrogen carburetor patents. The use
of pure hydrogen seemed to lead us astray of our goal yet we had fun in our ventures. Just
a short one and a half years into our experimenting my Grandfather died while under his
car welding together exhaust heating components. I ventured forward till the summer of
1986 with determined curiosity and it was a bitter sweet relationship. A success that
almost always slowly eroded into shallow failure, yet I tried to press on. Lack of
knowledge was my barrier, the power of information and my idea's as to not reinvent the
wheel only improve upon it. Since 1986 I have led a slow pursuit in the accumulation of
this truth, and an ever watchful eye as to other successes. Belief is not the point,
application is. As industry slowly counteracts all possible avenues another appears
through the application of technology. I can understand your trials and errors and ask for
your help so that I may be allowed to share all of the knowledge that you have worked so
damm hard to accumulate. I hope that we may either start correspondence through e-mail or
if I may come up to meet and see all of which you have labored to obtain. I have been
hesitate as to approaching you in this manner, yet I must. The quality of ones life is
determined by the quality of the questions one asks. I have many. My brother and I would
like to adapt and or combine knowledge so that we could continue our endless pursuit of
our dreams and with that I ask for your help. In the last five years my general studies
and work have been put in front of my passions and dreams just out of economic survival
yet the dream still burns inside. We then ask your help in providing us with information
so that we may further our pursuit of this truth. Thank you for all that you have provided
so far. We will look forward to meeting and or hearing from you in the near future. S.P.D.
(This is the reply from the only person to ask for a refund on my
book, Bruce) Dear Bruce I know all the stories about Pogue, Tom Ogle, Wiseman, Heiderich,
Fuelmizer, and on and on. To another person just stumbling onto this subject, your book is
a treasure trove of information, but in my case, it is just a repeat of years of
information that I have already gathered myself. Therefore, it would be kind of foolish
for me to buy this information yet again. I'm sorry, Bruce, but I have to return it. If
you could offer me something such as plans or a kit to build your device, great, let's
talk. Otherwise, like I've said above, I'm just paying for info I've already got. In
closing, I wish you luck in your efforts to get this info out to the public. If I had the
resources, I'd very likely sponsor research or production of one of these devices because
of my extreme interest in the subject. But, realistically, I don't believe we will ever
see anything of substance ever happen in our lifetime. Only when fossil fuels are almost
depleted and the price at the pumps is astronomical will the public ever get off its ass
and demand that something be done. Until then, the best that guys like you and I can do is
build these things, install them on our vehicles, prove to others that they work, and
hopefully convince others to do the same. Believe me, I've done my level best to at least
make people aware that the potential for higher gas mileage exists. I've even had some
good arguments with people who consider themselves "mechanics", who say that
higher mileage is impossible. I then ask them a few simple questions and they end up
answering themselves into a corner. I also tell them that it is vapor, not wet gas, that
provides the actual fuel for the cylinders, and then point out to them that the
carburetors and fuel injections systems do not supply pure vapor, but rather, tiny
droplets, of gasoline to the engine. Anyhow, I don't need to tell you all this, you
already know it. I apologize for any inconvenience. Once again, if you sell plans for
building your device, get back to me. Take care. O.
Dear Bruce, Isn't the internet wonderful! I came across your web
page by following rabbit trails one evening. I'll have to say, I knew there was a better
way! My fascination with the vapor carbs began when I was in highschool. I had a friend
whos dad knew Mr. Pogue. Being mechanically inclined that I was, I got a hold of his
patient. Then when going to collage, our library had a very good technical section. I
researched and found out that gas has lots of different chemicals(additives) with lots of
different boiling points. I also determined that there was going to be lots of residue
from vaporizing gas. So I set out to design a carb that you would have to clean ever so
often. Kind of like my dads water distiller(minerals would have to be cleaned off the
elements after so many gallons of water). Well I did design on paper but never in a system
You use the word cracking to describe the process of breaking down the molecules. Its
sound like you have the right idea. Your web page seems like it is a little old, what is
your present statits in your research? Besides money, what are some of the areas that are
holding you back. You know, its not always what you know but who you know that can get
results. Hope I can help DE

Historic E mail. Graham Ennis to Bruce McBurney dated this day of
our lord august 5th 1996. Bruce, its here!!!. The package arrived this morning, right
after our British postal strike. thank you a thousand times. together we will win. I spent
the day using every spare minute in a very crowded schedule to skim through the material,
and I'm impressed. also I now realize the level of work I am getting into, but I'm
determined to do it. I am gathering up all my research papers and going off to a friends
farm in the country for four days of seclusion tomorrow, to read, think, and plan. I am
not only a professional scientist and engineer, but also a political activist of many
years standing for good causes. I am not going to fall into the trap Ogle and the others
fell into, and which all but destroyed you. The main thing is to have a strategy and to
use my wits to outsmart the vultures who will descend on this project. showmanship, hard
factual demonstrations, etc. etc. plus some other ideas now possible. The implications are
profound. the seven sisters, (ably assisted by the sixteen dwarves) have held the human
race to ransom and very nearly fatally poisoned our planet. they did this not only for
profit and greed, but because the elite are possessed by a evangelistic urge to destroy
and exploit. "good technologies" undermine their power fatally. In the same way
that a tyranny can only survive in a hermetically closed society, and contact with the
external world is fatal, (the internet and fax machine will destroy the dictators, because
nothing is more powerful and dangerous than men in possession of both free ideas and ideas
of freedom.) Likewise the great technology and energy monopolies are similarly undermined
by any technology which disperses power, increases personal choice, and reduces their flow
of loot. Our project is such a liberating technology. their economies. if we succeed, and
we prove to a mass public that you are right, vested interests will fight a desperate
rear-guard action to suppress it. the poor of the third world however need this lifeline.
sheer desperation will unblock our path in those countries. Profound political and
economic effects will flow from this work.

Graham to bruce. thanks for the email bruce!!. yes, I did have to
sit down!!!. anyway, its very good news. someone else is pushing forward!!!. with each
person who experiments and publicizes, the possibility of criminal suppression falls ever
deeper into the abyss. I take your point about the need for political support. I am deep
in meetings over here with a friendly labor party m.p. who is trying to support
me.however, nothing is going to get done here in England until people see irrefutable
proof of what is possible. so I need to complete my original experiments and
demonstrations asap. Also, my training as a scientist and engineer and my careful,
methodical approach, with everything verifiable, publication in the professional journals
etc., needs to be done sometime, by someone. So let our friend get on with the launch of
his product, (although I will be in touch in due course) and godspeed to his efforts. but
my role is going to be the academic scientist who vindicates your original work and
vision, and tries to get things done in England I have still not completely digested the
papers you sent me, but already I am coming up with some good ideas. with luck, and lots
of hard work, I am going to catch up with you guys by christmass!!!!.regards and good
luck, Graham
Hello Bruce, My name is Ken. I performed a search on Bourke Engine
and came across your site. Very interesting. The company I work for, Galileo Research,
Inc. has an original Bourke Engine. We've had it running and do see benefits over current
technology. We've also found others across the world who are just now discovering the
attributes of the Bourke configuration through testing of prototypes that they have built.
We also have 5 original Bourke Engine Documentary's that are for sale. These are not
reprints such as you have, but original books signed by Russell and Lois Bourke. Also
Galileo Research, Inc. has been working on a new technology whereby we've combined the
internal combustion engine and electric generator into one compact lightweight unit that
is multifuel capable with excellect efficiency and durability. However, we've also been
run over by Detroit and squashed, but we're still making a go of it and having some good
success.
Check out our web pages http://www.galileoresearch.com
I'd be interested in hearing back from you.
Thanks, and the best to you.
Ken
{there are many people agreeing with mainly the same ideas - Bruce }
