Vincent Carman: Internal Storage Transmission
Published by Mother Earth News, 1977
Carmen’s Inertial Storage Transmission is the key to greater car mileage.
The Good News is that Vincent Carman’s new transmission can double your car’s gas mileage. The Bad News is that — thanks in part to bungling by the U.S. Government’s Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) it may be decades before this fuel saver is on the market.
Portland, Oregon’s Vincent Carman is an honest, straightforward guy . . . and the revolutionary automobile transmission he’s invented is the same kind of animal. It’s a simple, straightforward combination of off-the-shelf components that don’t do a blessed thing . . . except simply and straightforwardly double the gasoline mileage of a passenger car or other internal combustion
engine-powered vehicle.
Getting this new fuel saver developed and put on the market, however, is proving to be a somewhat more devious and complicated breed of cat.
