Ssh, don’t tell a soul!
Arthur’s Stumbled on the secret of free electricity
There’s more than a welcome in the Welsh hillsides, according to specialist metal prospector Arthur Adams.
He reckons there could be a fortune in “magic” metal deposits – similar to the chunk he’s gouged out of a gold bearing mountain just off the Mawddach Estuary, North Wales.
But so far, his accidental find – a silver grey metal which he claims gives off electrical energy – has brought cynicism and disbelief from mineral scientists and a warning under the Official Secrets Act.
Arthur Adams, who lives quietly in a village near Ipswich says that there is enough of the material available to transform dramatically Britain’s energy resources.
In fact, to prove his point, he already claims to run clocks, a radio, and a small TV set at his home – just by plugging into his piece of strange metal.
Patented
Geologists and mineralogists says there is no natural mineral on earth which they don’t know about. And that no natural element could generate the prodigious electric energy claimed by Mr. Adams.
Mr Adams, a retired ultra-sonic engineer and radiologist who once worked on Concorde, patented his discovery under a trade name. But the Ministry of Defence warned him in writing that his find was covered by the Official Secrets Acts.
He was not to reveal the components of the substance or it’s location.
Mr. Adams is not an amiable crank. As a consultant specialist metal prospector, he uses a device of his own invention for detecting all types of minerals.
He has been prospecting for years in the mineral rich area of the Mawddach Estuary where there are active gold mines and huge deposits of copper, zinc and lead. There are other rare metals there too.
He said yesterday: “This substance is a combination of natural elements in a hitherto undiscovered form and which could have taken tens of thousands of years to discover scientifically.”
“I have analysed it and I know what it is, but for the time being I have been ordered to keep the secret.”
The energy source he says he has discovered is like a huge natural battery in the earth – and it has nothing to do with the fusion of zinc and copper.
“Believe me” he said earnestly "this is big, very big indeed. “it can produce a limitless supply of power… it gives off huge voltages and amps and it is self-regenerating.”
Doubts
What is more, he claims to have synthesised the metal. He can produce it himself.
Although he is bound to secrecy until the Government scientists have investigated the metal, Mr. Adams revealed some fascinating possibilities for it.
A piece no bigger that a shirt button could replace batteries in cars and commercial vehicles.
A slab half the size of a shoe box could provide all the power and light for a normal three up and two down family house – for next to nothing.
Officials at the Institute of Geological Scientists who prospect for and map minerals in Britain said yesterday: “We have not discovered any minerals with these properties. If it is a substance unknown to science it is extremely exciting – but we doubt it.”
But Arthur Adams is unabashed. He is content to await a verdict of the Government scientists.
As one mineralogist said: “It is highly unlikely that he has discovered a new substance – but who knows? Stranger things have happened…”
