Corrosion is an anode action, i.e., caused by a positive charge of elecricity. It was reversed by charging corroded metal negatively. A cathode or negative electric action set up in corroded objects liberated oxygen from the incrustations and brought them back to their original metallic condition. An ugly gray-green cup of Egyptian bronze rust returned to its shape of a bronze cat and kitten. Old coins revealed names and dates. A statue of Isis shed the rust of 30 centuries from necklace, hair, headdress, garments, finger-and toenails. ? Dr. Colin G. Fink, Columbia University...
...Damblanc helicopter, which is to achieve the same end with far less complication. The cables tell us little except that the device is of insignificant volume, weighs only 16 pounds and is adapted to the interior of the engine. A plausible guess is that the device increases the air (oxygen) drawn into the cylinder...
...left his system, but the lack of oxygen in the haemoglobin particles produces an effect of asphyxiation which we are trying to combat...
Physiological, the presence of this gas in the system displaces the oxygen in the hemoglobin particles, producing a state which is very hard to cure...
Experiments with animals, partially confirmed by experiments with men, showed that the time of gradual decompression with helium-oxygen mixtures can be reduced even to one-sixth of that required with ordinary air without evil effects. If so, the use of helium-air will greatly increase the margin of safety for workers in compressed atmospheres...
