Picture Diagram Illustrating the Inventor’s Idea of the Development of
the Luchy Machine, Drawn from Sketches of the Small Working Model. The
Essential Points of the Invention Can Be Grasped Easily by Study of the
Carefully Worked Out Illustration. The Artist Has Shown the Machine at
Work in the Antarctic, Boring Through the Ice Cap Down into the Internal
Fires of the Earth. While the Inventor Has Suggested the Possibility of
Tapping Earth’s Heat in This Way, Other Scientists Believe Such a
Development Highly Improbable.
