Wood Alcohol. German manufacturers of synthetic methanol (wood alcohol), from water gas, threaten the $100,000,000 hardwood distillation industry of the U. S. with extinction. Germans have also manufactured liquid motor fuels by a similar process, which consists in passing a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen over a catalytic agent at fairly high temperature and very high pressure.?Dr. Franz Fischer, Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, Mulheim, Ruhr, Germany...
...West Babylon, N. Y., experimenters announced the development of a new illuminating gas. The raw material used: crude oil or refinery residuum. The product: a hydrogen and carbon combination containing no carbon monoxide because manufactured at low temperatures. The product's qualities : non-asphyxiating because void of carbon monoxide ; content of 1,600 British thermal (heat) units as against 525 to 585 units in most illuminating gases. From 7 gal. of refinery residuum are produced 1,000 cu. ft. of the new gas and a by-product of 1½ gal. of gasoline high in ethylene content...
...Firedamp is a gas given oft by coal when freshly exposed to the atmosphere, which, when mixed with from four to twelve times its volume of air, is explosive. A common name for it is marsh gas; in substance, it is carbureted hydrogen, oxygen...
...Scientists have already succeeded in changing nitrogen into hydrogen by the action of alpha particles. This feat was accomplished by Rutherford some time ago. Another investigator has reported a change of tungsten into helium at a very high temperature, but scientists in general consider his results as unconfirmed. The work of Rutherford has been duplicated by several other investigators and his transmutation of nitrogen into hydrogen is accepted as a fact...
...single flash of lightning may destroy a dirigible, helium or hydrogen filled. The ZR-3 was delayed again and again by adverse weather conditions and it cannot land in fog. Is it possible to maintain schedules in the face of such conditions...
