Col lier’s m o tor, i t is asserted, will attain an efficiency of approxim a tely 65 per cent, as com p a red w ith from ,15 to 20 per cent, attained by m o tors now The m o tor embodies the discovery of no new principle, m e rely a new a p plication of the full powers of internal comibustion engines. _ Collier has solved th e ,problem of applying the poivfer' of a ' nibtor, not to the piston, b u t to the rim of the iwheel. Thus he has brought about increased leverage w h ich is reflected in efficiency. The inventor says his m o tor will reduce displacem e n t and fuel con sum p tion to a great extent. I t will enable an autom o b ile to travel from fifty-five to sixty m iles on a gallon of gasolen*. B u t the m o tor is not strictly a gas olene engine. It m ay be operated w ith steam ,' oil or compressed air, and by reason of Its high efficiency a m o tor weighing 125 pounds will be large enough for any autom obile. The new m o tor has one sp a rk plug, no pistons, no crankshaft, no gears. I t contains only 1I7 p a rts w hile a Ford m o tor has 352. Due to its simplicity,* Mr. Collier is of the opinion th a t wffien m ade in j q u a n tity it m a y be sold a t from $50 to $75.
