Shelbyville Times-Gazette/ Friday, July 20, 2007/ By Brian Mosely
The two "country boys" from Unionville who claim to have developed a
vehicle that runs on no fuel have teamed up with another inventor to
file a patent for their technology. Their innovation is beginning to
attract interest.
Randy Nichols and Andrew Lamb contacted the Times-Gazette
last month and demonstrated their device: a Nissan 4x4 truck that
apparently runs with no internal combustion engine or fossil fuels.
Since that time, people from across the country have been contacting the rural inventors, asking questions about how it works.
Until their patent is put into "pending" status, they will give no new
demonstrations of the vehicle. In the meantime, the inventors are fine
tuning their device, trying to get more speed out of it, Lamb told the T-G Thursday.
Lamb said they now have four working prototype vehicles, which they
have hidden for security reasons. An attorney has also been hired to
deal with the patent and other legal issues.
After the story in the T-G was published last month,
a short item about the invention was broadcast on Fox 17 News in
Nashville that was seen by inventor Art Tyler of Aaron. He claims to
have developed the same system independently in 1992.
Tyler contacted Nichols and Lamb and instead of competing, the trio
have joined forces to introduce their invention to the world. Lamb also
stated that Tyler has been in contact with former vice-president Al
Gore about the device.
After the pair from Unionville spoke to Tyler, Lamb said "we
didn't realize all the possibilities with this thing." Lamb also said
the device could be used as a generator large enough to power a house.
One free energy based website, the Pure Energy Systems Wiki,
[peswiki.com] calls the device a "hydraulic battery-powered
electromagnetic generator."
The invention works by using a hydraulic pump to force fluid to
a hydraulic motor, which turns the flywheel of the Nissan truck. From
the flywheel to the rear of the vehicle, nothing has been modified,
according to Lamb.
After removing the gas engine, the pair from Unionville installed a
tiny DC motor on the flywheel, which powers the transmission and the
vehicle. Lamb said the truck also has a complete charging system, which
was the hardest part of the design, taking them about eight months to
perfect.
It is powered on a 24-volt system and when this reporter interviewed
them in June, the pair were reluctant to give away any more secrets,
mainly due to the fact they had not patented their invention yet.
The trio now plans to have the group New Energy Congress take a look at
the device to validate their claims. The group is an association put
together "for the purpose of reviewing the most promising claims to
up-and-coming clean, renewable, affordable, reliable energy
technologies, in order to come up with a weighted list of
recommendations of the best technologies," according to their Website.
Lamb is also to appear on the Free Energy Now
[http:freeenergynow.net] radio series for a live interview about the
invention on July 30.
Due to legal issues, the device itself won't be put on display
until the paperwork for the patent is put in "pending" status. However,
after that step, the three plan to put the vehicle on display and "on
nationwide news" after the paperwork goes through, Lamb said.
