Box 582 Brenham, TX 77833 713-836-6173 EOE United Press International Louisiana businessman Willie Klump dreams of the day when America’s motorists will drive hun dreds of thousands of miles without changing their motor oil because they bought Klump-manufactured oil filters stuffed with toilet paper. In San Jose, Calif., Bill Posey en visions freeways jammed with peo ple riding his motorized skateboards at speeds up to 35 miles an hour, while in Southern Pines, N.C., Pe ter Greenspan sees compressed air powered cars on the horizon. In a more conventional vein in New York City, scores of Stuart Pivar’s gasoline-powered Microcars are already in use as he begins pro duction of an electric-powered model. They are among thousands of in ventors across the country who have answered the call in the battle against rising gasoline prices and dwindling oil supplies. Annually they submit tens of thousands of ideas to government and private in dustry officials, and occasionally, as in Pivar’s case, some of their inven tions find their way to the production line. “The private inventor is probably the best source of ideas available, ” said Dave Mello, a project engineer in the Department of Energy ’s ener gy-related inventions program, headquartered in Washington. In the six years the program has been in existence, Mello said, the AUTO INSURANCE FOR AGGIES: Call: George Webb Farmers Insurance Group 3400 S.

Energy Department has received 60,000 proposals from small inven tors whose suggestions range from the impossible to the technically feasible. “About half of them are good enough to warrant further evalua tion,” Mello said. The Energy De partment then submits the ideas to the U.S. Bureau of Standards for evaluation. Mello said “the winners” are then sent back to the Department of Energy to be considered for a federal grant. So far, the Bureau of Stan dards has recommended 128 ideas to the Energy Department for grant consideration. Among those in the field of trans portation that have been pursued are advanced carburetors, a new spark ignition system, and what Mello cal led an “optimizer,” which would keep all of an automobile’s systems running as efficiently as possible. “Our goal is to give this little guy a chance at least to compete effective- ♦ **★★★**•** ***'*#****#*#**♦*****'**« * MANOR EAST 3 I MANOR EAST MALL X 823-8300 "Where satisfaction is standard equipment" 2401 Texas Ave. 779-3516 u *9r; i '.n «nm nc aw *vra n s wnur w*i miw PERSONALS Asset Management Representatives: Earn $300 to $1200 part-time.

What are needed are specialists in marketing, specialists in finance, and other areas. All of those go into making a successful product.” The U.S. Patent Office in Arling ton, Va., also speeds up action on energy and environmentally related inventions. Don Stocking, of the patent office’s Heat and Power Engineering Examining Group, said there has been a boom in recent years in solar- related patent requests, while patent requests in other energy-related fields have remained stable. Private corporations also offer another avenue for the private in ventor to get his idea into produc tion. At the General Motors Technical Center at Warren, Mich., the new devices section receives about 4,000 proposals each year from private in dividuals.
