Air Car Hall of Fame by Scott Robertson, volume 1, 2011 For the first time in the history of industrialization, the claims of inventors who said that compressed air power plants could keep their own tanks full are being taken seriously. The first step is to treat each inventor individually, in order to place each one on a credibility scale. In Volume 1 of this planned biographical encyclopedia of compressed air innovators, I wrote about the first seven inventors that I was able to get any substantial information about. New technical information in this volume has added greatly to our understanding and/or curiosity about this neglected part of history that's still happening! In light of the facts about these inventors' lives and background, the jeers of the skeptics are exposed as the jealous sneering of compulsive naysayers who have nothing better to do than to tear down the work of revolutionary and often completely uneducated geniuses. The automaton catcalls against all inventors who claim to have shrunk the domain of the impossible break down against the accumulation of real information about those on both sides and what they actually intend to do. Several instances of real free energy being accomplished by compressed air power plants are documented along with newly discovered patents and background information on the air-heads who set out to change the world. These high resolution .pdf downloads are available chapter-by-chapter including color portraits of most of the inventors, hard-to-find patents, and background on the inventors' backers, families, and careers whenever possible. Living inventors are not within the scope of this encyclopedia since they are handling their own efforts.

Chapter Two: I interviewed George Heaton personally in 1980. The meeting changed my life and started me down a road that I cannot find the end to. George and a partner built self-fueling air cars when he was only 23 years old, and drove them from coast-to-coast! If not for the kind generosity of this very intelligent and likable man, my air car research might never have happened. Buy Chapter Two: George Heaton |

Chapter Three: Roy Meyers became one of the most infamous inventors in the U.S...twice! Not only did he build a free electricity absorber as the convict-inventor of 1912, but 20 years later he hit the national news again and again with real air cars that could travel for hours on a single charge of relatively low pressure air. My research on this man is groundbreaking, going way beyond what you can find from the other writers who have discovered only tidbits about this fascinating aspergeroidal character. The Roy Meyers story is a real life drama that all energy innovators must read. Buy Chapter Three: Roy Meyers |

Chapter Four: Bill Truitt spoke to me at length on the phone in 1986, when he was 83 years old. He was the best-known of the self-fueling air car inventors that got publicity during the 1970s gas crisis. His design was probably the most sophisticated and fine-tuned of the self-fueling air cars, because he started working on it when he was a teenager! More details are available about his air car than most of the self-fueling designs, but he kept a few key secrets strictly to himself. Help me solve the perplexing mystery of what made this man's air car design work. Why did his air car travel 3000 miles without a fill-up? Buy Chapter Four: Bill Truitt |

Chapter Five: Bob Neal patented his self-operating compression unit before the U.S. entered World War II, and had to stop or hide his work because of aggressive people wanting his secret. This unit has been partially duplicated and tested and has shown some encouraging results in limited experimentation. The principle is getting air to compress in the discharge pipe and in the tank while the compressor just purrs along cooling its heels. Bob Neal appointed his friend A J McDonald to get his invention into the right hands and Mr. McDonald turned the project over to me in 1988, when he also gave me the phone number of Bob Neal's son. Mr Neal told me what it had been like, as a small child, to see his father, an Arkansas shoemaker, produce a work of genius and then be stopped by powers that did not want to see someone else have a free energy machine instead of them.

Chapter Six: Lee Williams was a Pennsylvania bachelor who knew an air compressor when he saw one: the front end of every car. Knowing that what makes air float instead of fall to the earth as snow--the sun's heat--was available to do work by converting it to mechanical energy, Lee Williams worked for years on his air cars. He used the relative wind created by the car passing through the atmosphere as an energy tap to operate a wind rotor and a generator, electric batteries and electric motor. The skeptics are right about one thing: it sounds like perpetual motion, and by golly, it would be IF we lived on a planet where there was an atmosphere that contained no heat energy. Lee was a hard-working and devoted inventor descended from the kind of pioneers who took America to the top of the mountain. Buy Chapter Six: Lee Williams |

Chapter Seven: Lewis Kiser was one of the inventors of the New York Air Brake, Westinghouse's competition. He was a family man and house carpenter, and one of the most dedicated compressed air devotees who ever lived. His special contribution was a twist in compressor design that is probably explained nicely by his patents, but I haven't had time to study his work as I should, because I'm too busy trying to give this information away in hopes that it will get into the right hands. Because he was already a teenager when the civil war ended and President Lincoln was assassinated, and because his results as a re-inventor of the air compressor were documented, I consider Lewis Kiser the father of the self-fueling air car.

Chapter Eight: William Rohr was a very serious inventor. Do not make the mistake of thinking that this book starts getting sleepy about halfway through...on the contrary, it just keeps getting better. There is no question that Rohr was onto something and getting good results. He used to leave his compressed air power plant running for days at a time guarded only by dogs, while he left the house. He certainly proved, while air-powered transit locomotives were being tested on the streets of New York, Chicago, Paris, Berne, Toledo, and many other cities around the world, that air cars could be operated for the cost of maintaining the equipment and changing the oil! William Rohr was a most mysterious and interesting person! Buy Chapter Eight: William Rohr |

Compressed
Air Power Secrets:
Power Pneumatics for Inventors I wrote this book to prove that an uneducated peasant like myself could come to a usable understanding of how compressed air works and what compressed air calculations are trying to say, so I could say the same things in real world layman's terms. I started by looking through the compressed air textbooks of the early 20th century for the one that was easiest to understand. This book was used as an organizer for my thoughts, and I set out to translate its relevant portions into simple English. Whenever I came to a part that was hard to understand or ambiguous, I consulted corresponding sections of other air textbooks. I learned that every writer has a different approach to the topic, so I made it my business to follow the calculations of different-sounding descriptions until I learned by going through the math used by various textbook writers that they were all saying the same thing. By starting out with very little real knowledge of compressed air theory and calculations, I found out by direct experience which concepts were most poorly described in conventional textbooks. The result is a readable yet detailed description of what compressed air calculations are trying to determine and why. So anyone who is interested enough to read it carefully will be able to learn more about compressed air from studying my book, and learn it a lot faster, than they can by studying a book written by an established expert in the field. Because only a raw beginner like me really understands what's wrong with the way conventional textbooks are written! This book was written for people who want to do unconventional work with compressed air, because we cannot take any traditional formula for granted. If we want to adapt proper mathematical reasoning to unconventional applications it is imperative that we understand the math, not just how to do it but where it comes from, where it's going, and why. That is now a lot easier than it sounds because I did the hard part for you and made it easy. As an example of how this book succeeds in this respect, I set out, after I wrote the book, to find engineering assistance to do the math required to prove or disprove my "equalization engine" compressor concept, which I had already detailed in the finished book. No engineering assistance was forthcoming, so I dragged out my own book and studied it and finally found the answer to my question in my own book. As a matter of fact, my equalization engine idea was DISproven by the very book that was written to help would-be inventors get their thoughts in order before going to town to buy parts. This 3rd edition will be replaced soon by a new edition with upgraded resolution for the illustrations and the results of my analysis of the "equalization engine" math as an example of what makes the book so useful. Get it while it's still cheap...one man has given me $900 for writing this book! For now, it's yours for only $11.00. |

Homemade Air Engines that Work Before I sold my compressed air shop to the mother of a 13-year-old boy who wanted to give my engines and spare parts to her son for his birthday, I managed to document pretty well what I had done to construct these homemade air engines. Detailed drawings in .pdf & .dwg format, as well as descriptions. A DVD is available showing the engines in operation. |

The torquerack engine was a full-pressure non-expansive air engine using rack-and-pinion gears as a crankshaft substitute. Machine shop cost was absolute zero. |
The Littlefoot Engine was a two-stage air engine with a 30% cutoff, made by converting an old two stage compressor. Everything was done with hand tools except making new grooves for the new piston rings.
