Few Years,
Washington, D. C.—The war vessel
of the future will be a swift, smoke-
less, noiseless craft, lying low in the
water, with every vulnerable part be-
low the water line, the entire deck
being for the work of the guns. There
will be no smoke, because thera will
be no smokestacks. In the night-
time there will be nothing to betray
the presence of this invincible fight-
ing demon to the enemy.
This prediction was made by Rob-
ert Heywood Fernald, mechanical en-
gineer, who has for several years
been connected with the fuel investi-
gations of the United States Geologl-
cal Burvey. Mr. Fernald believes
that the gas engine, or internal com-
bustion motor, as it is called by engl-
neers, will be installed in naval ves-
sels of the United States within the
next few years.
*1 expect to see the United States
ahead of every other nation in this
innovation,” sald Mr. Fernald. “The
gas engine, in my opinion, is feasible
on any vessel because of its economy
over the steam engine, but it is espe-
clally desirable on the fighting ship
for the reason that it makes no
smoke. The gas is generated in a
producer which has no chimney and
needs none. The coal is turned di-
rectly into gas, which goes straight
to the engine.
“The elimination of the smoke is
sufficient to call for the installation
of the gas engine, yet there are many
other features in its favor. The ves-
sel would have a free deck for the
play of its big guns. "There would be
no towering stacks to be punctured
or destroyed, thus crippling the boat.
Then it would be unnecessary to
carry as much coal, for the same
power can be developed with one-
third less than the steam engine

uses. The gas producer and the gas
engine would take up less room and
weigh less than the same power
Scotch boiler and steam engine. The
vessel would have a radius of travel
far greater than at present.
"Of course I do not expect to see
the gas engine confined to the use of
the navy. The fact that it shows
such economies will compel its instal
iation in all sorts of vessels. One of
the big items of expense to a modern
ocean liner is its coal bill. These
vessels will consume 10,000 tons of
high grade coal on a round trip. With
the gas engine this could be reduced
to 6000 or 7000 tons, a saving of
several thousand dollars.
“One of the big steamship compa-
nies of the great lakes is about to
take the initiative in this movement.
Plans have made for a freighter that
will use a 2000 horse power gas en.
gine. This company is making the
experiment to test the economy of the
gas engine over the steam engine.”
The United States Geological Sur
vey has been experimenting with the
gas producer and gas engine for gev.
eral years and has demonstrated that
this type of engine in a stationary
plant is capable of generating from
twice to three times as much power
from a given amount of coal as the
steam engine. It has also shown that
the gas engine can develop more pows
er from a low grade coal.
The purpose of the Government has
not been to develop the gas engine,
but to increase the efficiency of the
coal supply of the country, which is
now being depleted. The Govern.
ment spends $10,000,000 yearly for
coal, and it was primarily to get the
best results from this expenditure
that the investigations of the gas pro-
ducer and gas engine was taken up.
