excerpt from the car image of 15 December 2000
Extreme reactions under heavy rain tropical sky. Bewilderment and euphoria. Incomprehension, skepticism and belief in an automotive world revolution:
The mystery of the water car inventor of the Philippine Daniel Dingel (AUTO BILD 42/00). Now for the second time we visited in Manila will always inscrutable.
The "miracle of Manila," a Toyota Corolla. has to enter through a mysterious mini-reactor with clean tap water - enters the next round.
is Daniel, a gifted jet in the same old T-shirt and jeans, the Einstein of drive technology?
Or a cunning charlatan? Drives the now of lawyers and hunted worldwide business groups and clauses, preliminary agreements and letters of intent surrounded inventor hoax at the highest level? Or is he actually managed to have to drive a car with water?
The question has not only to us: Hundreds of letters have reached the editorial office. the phone had not stopped. Engineers, scientists. Collectors - everyone wanted to know: Can it really be?
with us in Manila: two men. are familiar with unusual phenomena. Günther E. Brand (59), inventors and venture capital intermediary conveyor from the Rhineland, and his technical advisor. Automotive engineer Dieter Klauke (60).
After the meeting with
were as perplexed as they Dingel split. So go and forth on the pros and cons, that they knew to help with a bet. Brand: ".. I'll bet that 10 000 Mark Daniel Dingel has found the Philosopher's Stone I drove the car have not found any evidence of conventional fuels such as gasoline, diesel or gas.."
"I bet the other hand," said car manufacturers Klauke. "No one can put the first law of thermodynamics, expires. He says that you can be up to produce as much energy as you put inside. Dingels thing is for the pure teaching of science do not work. Not really."
Klauke, managing director of two Smart Centers in Cologne and Aachen, asks for reflection, is asleep one night about it and leaves the next morning but surprisingly open a back door.
"clean externally and to the engine compartment is Dingels car just a normal four-stroke four-cylinder. It is like any other start, shows the same performance. Sounds like a standard Corolla and offers at first glance, no standard deviations. No mysterious hassle, no extra switches, except a few standard measurement for a prototype switches.
Certainly he has no hidden fuel on board. The thing is totally normal. "
At first glance. The second confuses the German engineer thoroughly. Klauke: "There is no obvious signs of burning fossil fuels on board Maybe Dingel is in a border area ventured beyond the norm, if he could do it, he would be a new Einstein..."
Dingel laughs. Mocked us when we weigh his car want - and forbids it. Is offended. Klauke than with an exhaust gas tester comes - and forbids it. "What do you want? I steal with such simple tests the time?
not offend me. I'm not Einstein, there are no miracles. There is only a radical break with traditional knowledge. And new thinking."
Then finally he takes the time to explain what he thinks so, it was not - as before suspects - hydrogen, which drives his car. "Although I create the board, but that is not enough," said Dingle. "An electromagnetic field I convert it into a new form of energy. A substance which, until the patent is granted, remains my secret. It is what drives the car. It is the rule input, the same output overrides. "
Klauke, before long engine development manager at Fichtel & Sachs wants to know more. Investor fire, which wants to help with money and an army of lawyers Dingel in obtaining patents in the world wants to know everything. But Dingle is silent.
"Because the whole thing is so easy," he says. "If, after the patent my invention is known. are all laughing. This is the simple solution "
Until then, only so much... The new form of energy is formed in a so-called converters and up to the leaves Dingel, of course, nobody, the inventor remains that would result from the hydrogen something completely new, more energetic than . conventional fuel his old Corolla needed so as an additional lubricant Dingels special EMF-01, a mix of tropical plant extracts and Chinese aromatics - "would otherwise be the pistons seize"
If everything is correct, would destroy a lot: the hydrogen models of the giant. Mercedes, Ford and BMW with its fuel cells. hydrogen and methanol engines. For to have the system Dingel, adapted according to fire below 5000 mark, it is possible for any existing car in the world make them fit.
destroyed if it really was so, would the world's dependence ÷ l. However, would not further destroy the ozone layer and climate. For Dingels water car needs nothing, nothing will. Only one liter of H2O per 100 kilometers away. It also leaves nothing - other than water vapor.
remarkable only: The flap, the fire stopped at the exhaust. smell first when wet, but the next morning, now dry, but slightly aromatized hydrocarbons. "In theory, by the engine oil be "presumed fire. Or maybe gasoline residues?
" We must now take up full speed to bring Dingels invention on the road, "raises investor a fire that with his company hauled Brabon" the world's 50 even inventors on patents added. He plans. Dingel, including car to get to Europe and to present to everyone.
"The automotive executives should take Daniel Dingel invention seriously. From what I've experienced here, this could be a real revolution. This man seems to be a genius. "
And sometimes resembles more of a phantom. One minute there, he is gone. This time on the way to Taipei, where one of the richest entrepreneurs in the country, plastics magnate Wang wants, Dingels invention into a new generation of hybrid cars "made in Taiwan" in sequence.
negotiating same time, a Swiss group, which would be related to Citroen, seriously cranky with the inventor. Investor fire: "We must hurry, otherwise we miss Germans a century opportunity." Possibly. Jörg Wigand
