The two tanks are not for vertical take-off; they vaporize the propane fuel and emit exhaust. Design propane gas engine drives 4,000 miles in comfort Mr. G. Scott Lindsay, Prince Albert, is one of this area's more enterprising citizens. In an interview last week, the 69 year old inventor looked back on an eventful life, highlighted by a continuing enthralment with every kind of technical device from outboard motor to airplane to radio trans- mitter. His latest achieve- ment has been the installa- tion of a propane gas engine of his own design in a Voks- wagon. Utilizing the "Scott System of Fuel Injection", the car has performed flaw- lessly for 4,000 miles. One of Mr. Lindsay's early enthusiasms was aviation. While in India after World War I to promote industrial advancement, he became interested in flying when lessons were offered by American airmen stationed there. By 1929, he had bought a Gypsy Moth and spent most of his spare time flying the aircraft around India. The famous Gypsy Moth, an open' cockpit biplane, was "the cat's P.J.'s' to most aviators in 1929. This was only four years after Sir Francis Chichester's epic Gypsy Moth flights in South- east Asia. Mr. Lindsay admitted, "Looking back, we had to be crazy to fly those planes. Many acquaintances of mine were killed, falling into the English channel, flying into the side of African moun- tains. The pilot was exposed to wind and rain, perched in his open cockpit with only a compass by his feet to guide him. These old biplanes were notorious for spinning out; " you might say there was an element of dare-devil. But I always enjoyed flying. I can 'remember taking off from Toronto, flying up to Ren- frew, say; on arriving, you would circle a garage for a few minutes and then hope for a safe landing in a field of stubble. The gas jockey would drag his tanks over, fill it up, and you're off for another 200 miles, praying the thunderstorms keep their distance." But planes weren't all; there were motorcycles, mo- torboats, motorcars. You- name-it, there had to be a . motor. By the time of the second World War, it was refrigerator motors. Opera- ting out of his manufacturing concern in Toronto, Mr. Lindsay was one of the first to develop the "Sealed refri- geration unit", an integral part of any modern refrig- erator. It was after World War II that he became personally involved in developing more efficient internal combustion engines of 'heat engines'. The turning point came when he attended a series of lectures given at the Univer- sity of Toronto by a Profes- sor Alcott. At the lectures' conclusion, Mr. Lindsay and the professor compared notes and agreed that 'The ultimate design in a recip- rocating engine is the two- stroke fuel injected type." This experience spurred Mr. Lindsay into experimenting on his own. The inventor "decided that propane should be used as a fuel rather than gasoline because it provides better combustion, i.e. mixes better with oxygen from the air. Better combustion means a more efficient engine and hence' a more powerful engine. Efficiency is deter- mined by the percentage of heat (energy) that is used to turn a car's back wheels, as opposed to the percentage wasted by elimination through the exhaust pipe. Heat engines are notoriously inefficient, wasting 75 per- cent of the heat they gener- ate through the exhaust. However, in a propane- fuelled engine, the "gas" combines better with air to form an explosive mixture; thus, a bigger "explosion" (more power) and less polluting waste products. The inventor considered diesel motors too costly. He wanted to develop a motor which would be more rea- sonably priced if ever sold. Diesel motors rely upon extreme pressure generated in the combustion chamber to provide necessary heat for ignition. A diesel utilizes fuel «.. . injection; spraying fuel into the chamber off the under- side of a lifting intake-valve, rather than carburetion.. But the fuel injector must, un- derstandably, spray fuel at high pressure, the more so to vaporize it. To work under such pressure, it must be a real precision instrument, which runs into a lot .of money. Mr. Lindsay spent the next few years trying to find an alternate system, working around his home on small motors. Finally, one sum- mer afternoon he hitched an old outboard motor he had modified between two trees, started it up and, according to him, '"'you couldn't see for smoke." He had found the right formula. He called it 'the Scott System of Low Pressure Direct Fuel inject- ion." or four cycle engines. It is characterized by a, lower than normal combustion chamber pressure. Carbure- (continued on page 15) The system works with two Fe
