Definitions
- the internal-combustion ('IC') engine is the fundamental workhorse of the current economy, everywhere transforming energy into work. For any given design of an IC engine there is an optimal operating combination of temperature and compression pressure. For any given fuel burned in an IC engine, there is an optimal combustion efficiency—so much, and no more, of the fuel's heat of combustion will be transformed by the IC engine into work. The rest of the heat produced is considered to be ‘waste heat’ that will change the temperature of the environment—specifically, the IC engine's temperature. The prior art generally teaches that this waste heat should be radiated away.
- FIG. 1 shows the ratio of a synthetic fuel, composed of two complex yet minor additive components blended together with a base combustive fuel; with the ratio of parts per unit of the synthetic fuel shown, as well as, for each of the complex yet minor additives, its internal volumetric composition.
- FIG. 2 shows the results from dynometer testing of a synthesized fuel, comprising diesel fuel as the base combustive fuel with one part of the stabilizing and combustive additive to 1,000 parts of diesel fuel; and of the resulting further synthesized fuel created by the subsequent addition of 1 part of the core polar material to 1,000 parts of the diesel fuel by volume.
- FIG. 3 is a comparison of the average horsepower in ten second interval for a synthesized fuel using diesel fuel as the base combustive fuel to which one part of the stabilizing and enhancing additive to 1,000 parts of diesel fuel; of the resulting further synthesized fuel created by the subsequent addition of 1 part of the core polar material to 1,000 parts of the diesel fuel by volume.
- the present form of the invention in this continuation-in-part application comprises a synthetic fuel unit to be used in an internal combustion engine that establishes and maintains a stable operating threshold temperature and pressure.
- This synthetic fuel unit comprises a base combustive fuel, to which are added both a core polar material and a stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture.
- the core polar material may itself contain some proportion of a stabilizing yet combustive compound, but will definitely contain at least one polar protic compound, at least two polar aprotic compounds, and at least one nitro-alkane compound; the former encapsulating the lattermost, which is in itself potentially explosive.
- the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture may also contain some proportion of a stabilizing yet combustive compound, at least one nonpolar molecule and polar detergent, and an explosion-enhancing compound; the former to enable separate storage and shipment without hazard of explosion, the middle to enable the core polar material to be maintained and dispersed in the synthetic fuel resulting after mixture with the base combustive fuel, as these overcome the base combustive fuel's miscibility limitations, and the latter to increase the releasable explosive potential when the synthetic fuel is used in the IC engine.
- a stabilizing yet combustive compound at least one nonpolar molecule and polar detergent, and an explosion-enhancing compound
- the IC engine initiates deflagrative combustion of the base combustive fuel (which in the preferred embodiment is a petroleum-based fuel). This deflagration immediately initiates and sustains a solvation reaction in compounds from the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture and the core polar material.
- the base combustive fuel which in the preferred embodiment is a petroleum-based fuel.
- deflagrative combustion and solvation reaction enable and release a detonative or explosive reaction of the nitro-alkane compound, and thus release the explosion potential energy contained within the nitro-alkane compound.
- This endothermic solvenation occurs via a concerted mechanism (a mechanism which takes place in one step, with bonds breaking and forming at the same time) at the balanced ratio of heat and pressure of the IC engine's optimal operating temperature and power-stroke compression ratio and timing (more heat, less pressure; lower heat, more pressure).
- This endothermic solvenation then synergistically creates for or from the nitro-alkane compound an explosive compound which responds at that same heat/pressure combination so that a detonation or explosion occurs, thereby releasing the explosive potential energy of the nitro-alkane compound. It is this released explosion potential energy which, because it is greater than the thermal combustive energy available should the nitro-alkane compound just be combusted, supplements (rather than replacing or reducing) the mechanical energy created from the thermal processes. ( FIG. 3 )
- each component of the dynamic molecular cage stabilizing the nitro-alkane compound is believed to be held together by dipole moment charges until the moment of combustion; and is present in stoichiometric ratio with other subordinate components of the synthetic fuel such that they will react with each other (in pairs) and the core polar material, to synergistically engage in solvenation of positively charged species via the negative dipole of the aprotic compound, thereupon enabling a detonative or explosive release of the nitro-alkane from the dynamic molecular cage, creating a pressure wave that progresses at a detonation speed estimated to be of 18 times that of the combustion wave, or an explosive wave that is 100 times or more that of the combustion wave, and transfers the momentum to the entirety of the combustive and explosive ‘waste products’ to the cylinder and piston head, driving the resultant power stroke with some combination of the thermal and explosive energies. Precise timing and interim molecular re-combinations
- the power stroke of the IC engine provides two buffers for the resulting explosion.
- the combustion products of the primary fuel are present at several orders of magnitude greater mass than the products of the explosion. So the kinetic energy of the nitro-alkane compound's explosion is ‘cushioned’ even as it contributes to an increase in velocity and thus kinetic energy of the combustion products.
- the second buffering arises from the movement of the piston which in the power downstroke is creating a larger volume in the cylinder, thus allowing the detonation or explosion to occur without creating a “knock”, as the direction of the movement of the piston allows the desired expansion of volume. (See Glasser, supra, pp. 262, 286-287) ( FIG. 2 )
- the base combustive fuel is presumed to be a petroleum-based fuel (e.g. diesel #1, diesel #2, biodiesel, gasoline) unless otherwise stated.
- a petroleum-based fuel e.g. diesel #1, diesel #2, biodiesel, gasoline
- the core polar material is mixed with an equal amount of the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture, before being mixed with the base combustive fuel ( FIG. 1 ).
- the mixture between the core polar material and the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture is one part to three parts, so the core polar material will form 1 ⁇ 4 of the intermediate mixture and the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture will form 3 ⁇ 4 of the intermediate mixture—which again will be mixed at 1:1,000 with the base combustive fuel.
- the core polar material comprises the following sub-elements and ratios:
- An alternative embodiment is: CAS % Volume % Weight Moles Methanol 67-56-1 43 36.8 23 Mixed Nitrates Nitromethane 75-52-5 28.5 35.2 10 2 Ethylhexyl Nitrate 27247-96-7 19 19.8 2 Acetone 67-64-1 9.5 8.1 3 Total 100%; with a possible miniscule addition of the third-party, other-functional additives not meaningfully different from the preferred embodiment.
- Acetone is one of the components in the core polar material.
- Figure one, in the Feb. 1, 2010 filing has a curve for mpg increase as a function of dose of acetone in diesel.
- the “D” curve peaks at 1.5 oz dose producing-a 20% gain in mileage. This corresponds to 1,117 ppm of acetone in diesel.
- the concentration of acetone is 23.75 ppm in an embodiment of the present invention that comprising three parts out of four of the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture to one part of the core polar material, before being mixed with the base combustive fuel at 1 part to 1,000 parts.
- An alternative embodiment is being tested currently, using 1:500 and that is double the acetone or 47.5 ppm.
- a 50% increase in mpg is an unexpected result, as the prior art had 1,117 ppm of acetone in another fuel additive associated with only a 20% increase in mpg. This can be calculated to mean that the present invention utilizes acetone 58.7 times more effectively in increasing the mpg on the basis of an equal volume percent additions.
- the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture (commercially available under the private mark of Monster DieselTM) comprises:
- the proportions are significantly different due to a different choice of the base combustive fuel, the stabilizing yet combustive compound of the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture, or both together.
- the base combustive fuel the stabilizing yet combustive compound of the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture, or both together.
- these combustible sub-parts is (or are) a combustive fuel that is itself polar—specifically, when a biodiesel—then the entire synthetic fuel's proportions change.
- a mixture of the core polar material, stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture, and base combustive fuel is combined in a 1:1:8 ratio (so the core polar material is 1/10 th of the intermediate product, the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture is also 1/10 th of the intermediate product, and the biodiesel is 8/10 ths of the intermediate product); and next, this intermediate product is then mixed at a 1:100 ratio with the base combustive fuel (biodiesel), which will mean that the intermediate product is ⁇ 1% of the resulting blended synthetic fuel.
- the core polar material and stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture as an additive or pair of additives to be blended with a base combustive fuel; however, if the two are separate then measures must be taken to eliminate the hazard of detonation or explosion of the core polar material during shipment and storage before it is blended in with either or both of the other sub-units.
- fuel additives may be capable of taking the information provided in this and the parent application and not only producing the synthetic fuel, but (as additives) alternative formulations of the core polar material and the stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture disclosed in this application or its parent, at least within certain limits of logical extension and substitution of other materials that produce the same synergistic contribution of deflagrative and detonative potential energies within an IC engine.
