Author describes features of his design of rocket automobile; main differences between his and Opel's design; reports experiments with car of his design, manufactured by J P. Eisfeld Powder and Pyrotechnic Works, at Silberhuette, in which velocities as high as 180 km. per hr. were attained in two seconds; claims rocket engines can be made thermally more efficient than internal-combustion engines; foresees unthought-of speed and interplanetary communication.
