Description
' or other fuels is dune GHARLES A. QUEER, @li GEIGAGQ, ILLINQJIEK LZQUED E ie drawing.
This invention relates to improvements in peroxide, or naphthaline peroxide, or various persalts, or a combination or mixture thereof to the more commonly used forms, such as gasoline, benzol, naphtha, kerosene, crude oil, and crude oil derivatives and also alcohol, both ethyl and methyl.
1 have found that by adding a compound containing oxygen with the above named well known products, and particularly by adding such compounds having an extra atom of oxygen, an improved explosive combustible is obtained which not only increases the power of a combustion engine but also that a cleaner combustion is obtained which does not result in the formation of carbon on the interior of a combustion engine, and in fact if this improved material is used in a combustion engine in which there is carbon, the carbon deposits will gradually decrease and will eventually disappear.
The ingredient which is preferable is benzoyl peroxide, which may be described as an oxygen carrying agent, which is a comparatively inexpensive product that may be added in proportions from three-fourths of an ounce to one-half ounce for thirteen (13) gallons of commonly used explosive, either more or less, depending upon the efl'ect desired and the result with such an admixture is that the known hydrocarbon iven an increased and quicker explosive e ect, thereby resulting in greater power and having a carbon removing efiect as previously set forth.
Application filed Kay 4, 1926. serial No. M3353.
Benzoyl peroxide has the formula:
1ft is to be understood that the essential component of the grouping is the radical which is characteristic of peroxides. lln benzoyl peroxide the radical o o O O is a typical grouping which may occur in other peroxides having other radicals corresponding to the phenyl radical H Although benzoyl peroxide has two similar phenyl radicals, this similarity is by no means necessary.
There is a particular advantage in using compounds such as benzoyl peroxide. In benzoyl peroxide there are found only the elements carbon, Theseare the three elements involved in the combustion of ordinary fuels. Furthermore, these elements all form gaseous products of combustion which merely add to the products from the fuel in quantity rather than in kind. There is, therefore, no danger of introducing foreign or deleterious combustion or reaction products into the engine.
It is a characteristic of the oxygen-containing substances of this invention that they release active oxy en. This release is effected in a variety of ways, among them the application of heat. It is possibly this latter effect which releases the active oxygen contained in benzoyl peroxide when the latter enters the combustion chamber. It is -well known that oxygen from such substances is distinguished from the oxygen pif the air by its greater activity. When released in the presence of combustible material it is without doubt preferentially consumed'in the preliminary stages of combushydrogen and oxygen.
tion, and in a manner beneficial to the combustion. In addition to the oxygen released, other products are formed by the decomposition of the benzoyl peroxide which may also have beneficial effects.
It is found in practice that mixtures of this material produce no dangerous or detrimental effects; they may be used wherever the original unaltered fuel is used, the improved iesult being due, it is believed, to the added oxygen in the new mixture thus formed. The mixture of increased quantities of the additional oxidizing agent will produce an additional explosive effect, but too rich a mixture is objectionable from a commercial standpoint. Furthermore it is believed that other materials may be used as an oxidizing agent for well known combustibles without departin from the spirit and scope of my invention.
I claim:
1. The combination of a combustible fuel such as a hydrocarbon, gasoline crude oil and liquid alcohols used for generating power by combustion with benzoyl peroxide in a comparatively small quantity to produce reaction products having a better combustible effect than the original combustible material when used alone.
2. The method of increasing the combustibility of a liquid hydrocarbon used for generating power by combustion which consists in adding thereto a small percentage of benzoyl peroxide which increases the oxygen in the mixture to such an extent that it has an increased intensity as an explosive mixture.
3. The combination with a liquid combustible, such as gasoline, crude oil and alcohol, of benzoyl peroxide in the proportion of from three-fourths A) to one and one-half (1 ounces of peroxide to three (3) gallons of the combustible.
4. The combination of a liquid hydrocarbon, and a small percentage of benzoyl peroxide intimately mixed therewith and producing an explosive effect.
5. The combination of a combustible fuel such as gasoline, crude oil and liquid 31CO*\ hols used for generating power by combustion with an organic peroxide in a comparatively small quantity to produce reaction products having a better combustible effect than the original combustible material when used alone.
6. combustible fuel containing a small quantity of a material selected from the group consisting of benzoyl peroxide, hydro- 1811; peroxide, naphthalene peroxide, and persa s.
