Welcome! This is where you can read or download a free copy of The Rise and Stall of the Piston Engine. Price published the book in this format because it contains over 250 photographs, drawings and charts that are crucial to your understanding of the events. There is no way that he could ever get permission from all the sources, so that is why it is offered free with no profit motive.
If you are like most people trying to make a living in the world today, you are likely contemplating either purchasing a newer car or repairing the car that you currently operate. Before you do either, get ready for a revelation about car ownership by taking a quick tour of this book, because the automobile industry is not what you’ve been taught in school nor via movies and television.
Kenneth M. Price Jr. , the author of The Rise and Stall of the Piston Engine doesn’t waste time getting to the point and he doesn’t mince words. As a result of reading just the first few pages, many who have paid for and operated vehicles most of their lives will be surprised, shocked and even a little dismayed by what they see and learn. Part of this learning comes in the form of pictures and discussions of past inventions, virtually all of which offered superior vehicle performance. Every interested reader will soon realize this author has put together a valuable collection of facts about the automobile industry and its relationship with big oil that we need to know and pay attention to.
The average person has little knowledge of the fact that at the dawn of the petroleum-powered era there were simple known methods to reduce fuel consumption by fortifying petroleum distillates with ingredients that were cheap and readily available. And although they had been researched and tested to be successful, their potential benefits to the overall performance of the transportation systems were to be buried and forgotten. This was all because of one reason: they all significantly reduced fuel consumption.
The Rise and Stall of the Piston Engine documents the “evolution” of the gasoline piston engine and in the process exposes the design for what it is; a heavy iron mechanism that consumes excessive amounts of gasoline while wearing itself out from relentless friction. The truth of the matter is, the cars we got to buy as commuters were equipped with engines that were manufactured in sizes and numbers matching the gallonage of petroleum the sales infrastructure was able to supply for any given year. We were all part of one grand business plan. In the process hundreds of better engine designs and fuel types were covered up, even at the expense of the inventor's life if necessary.
It might be hard to stomach the fact that today’s modern petroleum powered piston engine under performs virtually every other design that has been available for production and implementation for over 120 years. So be prepared to be both alarmed and flabbergasted.
The book leaves the reader with the question: "Where do we go from here?” If we don’t wake up fast, Americans are going to continue building and rebuilding the same antique system we never should have built in the first place.
Self-driving cars will only serve to distract the public. They will not help repair our outdated highways and bridges nor will they promote a more efficient system. They will merely mask the continued use of petroleum burning engines, thus helping to maintain the continued use of a toxic fuel along with outdated high-friction piston engines. We must not let them effectively market this flawed system to the public! We deserve better!
Much can be brought to light that will help us see the kind of transportation system we should really have. We can’t go on with this black top madness much longer. In the meantime, the right knowledge can help you save tens of thousands of dollars on needless automobile expenses. This equates to freedom from banks and alternatives to the toxic oil industry.
Be sure to read or download this book.
