...Helm. Outboard, Marine's new motors are not the first attempt to cut down on outboard noise. Evinrude, then a separate company, introduced the first underwater exhaust in 1921. After Evinrude merged with Johnson to form Outboard, Marine in 1937, mufflers and other silencing devices were developed under the direction of President Ralph S. Evinrude, son of Evinrude's founder. But the move to silence the entire line of Evinrudes and Johnsons was made after Joe Rayniak took Outboard. Marine's helm in a management shake-up a year and a half ago (TIME...
More dangerous than smoking are the many particles (mostly tars) breathed in by industrialized Western man, declared Dr. Wilhelm Hueper of the U.S. National Cancer Institute. Factory soot, arsenical dust, engine-exhaust fumes all contain such dangerous particles. In one N.C.I. survey of ten U.S. cities, tars were filtered out of the air, and even in tiny doses (.05 gram) they were found to cause skin cancer in laboratory mice...
...this the do-it-yourself addict also adds a paint spray gun with an attached air compressor for $60, an exhaust fan to carry off the fumes for $20, plus a $200 collection of chisels, wrenches, hammers, screw drivers, vises and pliers.

...Russians Ahead? Around the Coanda effect, Avro's Frost created a startling design shaped like a saucer, 40 ft. in diameter, with a squat jet engine in the middle and a bubble cockpit perched above. From the engine's 35 burner tubes blasts would radiate to 180 exhaust ports all around the saucer's edge. To apply the Coanda effect the pilot needs some kind of movable control over one lip of each exhaust. To take off he would set these controls to deflect the blasts downward. The downblasts carry along with them more air from above...
...rises as he is supposed to, the pilot would then reset the exhaust controls for normal jet flight. He could fly in any direction by choosing the appropriate set of burners in his circular power plant. So that he would always be facing forward, the cockpit would rotate automatically as the craft changed direction...
