Description

The average person has little knowledge of the fact that at the dawn of the petroleum-powered era there were simple known methods to reduce fuel consumption by fortifying petroleum distillates with ingredients that were cheap and readily available. And although they had been researched and tested to be successful, their potential benefits to the overall performance of the transportation systems were to be buried and forgotten. This was all because of one reason: they all significantly reduced fuel consumption.The Rise and Stall of the Piston Engine documents the "evolution" of the gasoline piston engine and in the process exposes the design for what it is; a heavy iron mechanism that consumes excessive amounts of gasoline while wearing itself out from relentless friction. The truth of the matter is, the cars we got to buy as commuters were equipped with engines that were manufactured in sizes and numbers matching the gallonage of petroleum the sales infrastructure was able to supply for any given year. We were all part of one grand business plan. In the process hundreds of better engine designs and fuel types were covered up, even at the expense of the inventor's life if necessary.
