STOR-
WONDEIUT'L INVENTION
INC5 HEAT.
The wonderful In electricity has
become so common as to cease to
be wonderful. A revolution in the
production of current has been await
ing Edison's threatened storage bat
tery for years and is still waiting.
Meanwhile the problem of storing
energy has been attacked from an
other angle In England, and with
such amazing success that British
electric light companies are making
prices for electric light to-day at less
than u quarter of what they charged
three months ago, and consider the
low-priced current more profitable
than the old method of charging.
All this has been brought about
by a system of heat storage, which i
Is first cousin to the storage battery.
The new system Is, like many revo
lutionary ideas, the result of chance,
and to understand its great advant
ages it is necessary to know some
thing of the principles of producing
electricity.
comes on. such u tiattery would
cut down the cost of machinery In
tho power house, for now It Is nec
essary to maintain generators which
are only In uso an hour or so a day.
So far no economical method of stor
ing current hns been devised.
Realizing tho difficulty of perfect
ing an apparatus for storing elec
tricity, G. G. Boll, n Londo." engineer,
conceived tho novel Idea of storing
heat. Electricity has been recog
nized as tho ideal heating element,
but no method of utilizing It econo
mically has been devised until Mr.
Bell, who Is n member of the British
Institute of Electrical Engineers,
perfected his system.
Briefly, Mr. Bell proposes to sup
ply a house with a device which will
consume an equnl amount of current
during the whole twenty-four hours,
thus more than quadrupling the ef
ficiency of the mnchlnery to the pow
er house by making It produce use
ful current all the time Instend of
having a large amount of equipment
Idle, save during an hour or two a
day.
The apparatus consists of nn iron
block some eighteen inches high and
a foot In diameter. This block is
incased In magnesia, so that no heat
escapes. In the centre or tho block
Is placed a removable heating unit
In several sections. When the current
Is turned into tho heating unit the
iron block Is raised to a tempera
ture of GOO or 700 degrees Fahren
heit In a few hours, and will remain
heated almost indefinitely, except
for what Is used.
The heater itself serves for a var
iety of purposes. In its origlnnl
form it was designed for hot water
alone. Its present development not
only does away with tanks and ket
tles, but provides hot air, steam, or
hot water for heating, with an un
dreamed of saving of space, and pro
vides unlimited heat for cooking.
Boiling water Is instantaneously
on tap day or night, even though all
the current may be in use at the
time for lighting. Mr. Bell's system
does away with storage of hot water.
Instead, an iron coil is cast inside
the metal block. As tho block is at
a normal temperature of 600 degrees,
this coil is full of superheated steam
The steam Is regulated so that a
small or great quantity may be In
troduced into the water pipes, giving,
Instantaneously, water at any de.
' sired temperature.
The wonderful value of Mr. Bell's
heat storage system was immediately
recognized by the lighting compan
ies of London, and they are giving
users of the system rates for current
at less than a quarter of the old
rates. They published a half-page
advertisement in the London papers
on November 15th, directing atten
tion to the system, a thing unheard
of before, for English lighting com
panies have never advertised.
Should such a system be put into
use In ,New York, and the same con
cessions granted as those voluntar
ily given by the London lighting
companies, current could be brought
here for about 2 cents a kilowatt
hour, instead of 10 cents, as at pres
ent. Not only that, but gas would
be supplanted by electricity for all
household uses, and since the actual
consumption of current can be deter
mined, no more meter troubles will
be experienced. The happy lighting
customer will know just how much
his bill will be before he takes the
current, while the company will be
lonely without the constant clamor
against excessive bills, which is now
so fashionable.
cumstances more than twenty times,
I found nfter four minutes of this
preparatory breathing that I could
do twenty-seven times, I. o., nbtiut
30 per cent. more. This increase I
found t6 exist at all stages of fat
igue, ns might be expected.
The pulse beat goes up very rap
Idly whilo the breathing Is continu
ed, In my own case from about 05 t
10G after four minutes' breathing.
Another curious effect which por
haps is worth mentioning is tho ap
parent rapid lapse of time during
the latter half of a hard breathlnc
period. This change In the time
senso Is very noticeable.
As a mental stimulant, anil as a.
means to increase tho time durlnc
which tho system can do without
respiration violent breathing might
find considerable useful application,
and daring rescues from suffocatloa
are common enough to make a
knowledge of this possible threefold
endurance without air of no llttU
value.
