"Gas Into Water"    
**by** **Tom Valentine**

  
No story on the invention front has stirred more response than
the tale of Guido Franch, the man who turns water into gasoline.  
  
Franch demonstrated for nearly 40 years that he indeed had a
"magic powder' that literally transmuted tap water into a
gasoline-type fuel he called "mota", which is atom spelled
backward.  
  
Nothing productive has ever come from the Franch demonstrations,
and it is apparent he cannot produce the powder economically, or
else he simply cannot duplicate the powder that he had in his
possession for so long a period of time.  
  
Whatever the reason, the Franch process seems to be dying with
the retired laborer -- but Guido does not give up easily.  
  
Recently the imperturbable huckster from the Chicago area put on
another demonstration for this reporter -- a demonstration that
proves the "law of reversibility". That's right -- he turned gas
into water!  
  
"I call it dam-a-gas", he said as he struck a mactch to some
newspaper and built a small fire on his backyard lawn. "It can
be used as a safety device to prevent explosions", he claimed.  
  
His demonstration went like this : He used a half-gallon of
gasoline, built a fire and poured a pint of gasoline on the
flames to naturally cause them to flare violently.He then poured
about 3 ounces of a black liquid into the remaining 7 pints of
gasoline, then poured that mixture on the flames.  
  
The result was intriguing ! The gas flames were doused by the
new mixture.  
  
"See, I take the fire out of the gasoline. This could be used by
airplane pilots who are going to crash -- they could push a
button that injects this chemical into the tanks and prevents
explosions".  
  
Whatever the source of these chemical or elemental changes, it
seems a shame to report that there isn't much of a chance of
utilizing them in the near future -- at least not if Guido is
the source.  
  
Several months ago Franch promised to take this reporter to a
town in Southern Illinois where the remainder of the
"water-into-gas" team is allegedly located. The trip did not
occur, and Franch has failed to produce an ounce of workable
material in the past 43 years while claiming to be working in
concert with others.  
  
"People always get too greedy", he explained.  
  
"He's crazy", say others.  
  
Franch claims that a German scientist named Kraft taught him the
secret of converting coal to a charged powder that literally
transmuted the elements in water to hydrocarbon fuel.  
  
There is no doubt that such a curious phenomenon has been
demonstrated. However, demonstrations are all that has ever come
of the fantastic alchemy.  
  
Franch claims that he has cohorts in Southern Illinois who must
"run the powder through a machine" as the final step in the
process and he claims that the machine has now been destroyed.  
  
This is merely the latest in tales to rationalize the failure to
cooperate with anyone for the sake of credibility and
production.  
  
The Guido Franch story remains fascinating -- useless -- but
fascinating.
