c-learlyspeak for thernselves. During testingwhen the cumentoutput of the N ruachinewas altematively switchedoff andon: therc was no discernable mechanicalchaage in the condition of the apparatus, i.e., the to machinerydid not appear slow in anyway and thp attitude of the belt and pully systemdid not alter, showing evidence of any additional mechanical toque being tansmitted to the loaded N generator. The increasein ddve motor cunent was consistant a.rd consisted of a very small discemable [pvement of thc ammeterneedle which was exactly at half scale on the 30m amperErange. The Dext improvement in lhe sJstem would be to $bstltute a centrifugsl nercury decurrnt colledor system of coNrventlonal If w coodder srlch e systen the ftiction sign. losses and heating associated with sliding contscts ls eliminated. The electricalrcsistance can b madelry low with sucharrangements. Assumingthe electricalresistalceof the extemal cilcuit is madezero thrcughsuchmeansthenwe can exPecr: = N generatoroutput with zero load resistance 23,00Oamperes equivalent H.P. = 46.25 It is clear the power output is limiid by th intenal Esistance of the N generatn axle and disc. Eadier experimentswith the same machine gave as an intemal rcsistance19.2 micro-ohms. Due to the heat liberated in the operationof the experimentalmachineprcbably some oxide has fomed on the shaft ard disc thereby raising the internal rcsistanceon the machhe. Liquid mets.lsliding contactscan be hermetica[y sesledto eliminate this problem. Further evidenceof the low drag of the N generatorwas evidencedwhen the drive motor was tumed off and the machineallowedto coast

The Silentia uses ordinary lead-acidbatteriesthat comprise25Eoof the vehicle's total weight. The energydensityof these batteriesis only 25-30 watt-hous per kilogram. Intematiqnl Nickle Co, (hco) of Canada hasdeveloped new venion of the iron-nickle a storagebatteryoriginally inventdby Thomas Edison.
