IF THIS WORKS IN A BIG WAY IT WILL REVOLUTIONISE-

Coal-Gas-Cars-

Electricity

"A device, so small that it will go in a waistcoat pocket, which will extract electrical power from sunlight is being perfected by a London company.

Eventually it may revolutionise the electrical industry, the gas industry, and the coal industry, in which over £800,000,000 of public money is invested.

The invention is the work of a calls it the French selenust who

Helio-Electric Generating Cell.

He and his backers claim that a group of these cells, euch no bigger than a pocket watch, will light your house, work your radio, refrigerator, or boller. They will run your ear, too. In fact, all the work your local generating station now does.

SUN DOES IT

All you have to do, they say, la wire a number of these cells together and leave them on your roof or in the garden; connect them up with storage batteries, and the light does the rest.

The amount of light affects the supply, but these cells placed a yard square will produce 60 am- pere-hours, that means a supply of 60 amperes every hour, even When the on the dullest day, sun is shining the supply is mul tiplied by ten.

Scientists call this invention the most important of the century.

There are no calls or other electrical devices. The "face of the cell, enclosed in bakelite casing, is a thin brass disc. paint- ed with a secret mixture whleb, it is claimed, converts Hght inte

a direct current,"

I tested the cell myself when I call- ed at the Lower Regent-street offices of the company which is developing the invention. Mr. Paul Belyavin. B.Sc., an offeint of the Brm, de- monstrated it to me, writes à re- porter,

The positive and negative terminals were connected with the terminals of an ordinary electric meter.

He put the cell out of the win dow. Immediately the needin on the meter swing round and re-. gistered a third of a volt and two milliamps. He covered it over and the needle swung back,

NO TRICK

I tried it just to make sure Mr. Belyavin had nothing up his sleeve, or hypnotic eyes, writes a correz- pondent. This time I covered

swung back to "0"

The company is going to install the system at its new factories at Slough. The calls will be manufactured there.

"The invention was brought out by

But, if, however, the discovery is a variation of the photo-electric cell principle, It is as old as the hills.

"Teople have been trying to harness power from the photo- electric cell for years. "In theory it has immense possi- bilities; in practies it is not scienti- acally possible to produce power than would move the needle of a meter."
