Definitions
- This invention relates to a fuel additive for enhancing the combustion of liquid, solid and gaseous fuels and specifically, to a fuel additive that does not use conventional additive chemicals and instead, enhances the combustion process with an additive based on newly discovered microscopic, stable, crystalline water structures
- Fuel additives have been used for some time, to enhance the combustion of hydrocarbon and other fossil fuels, by reduction of the formation of carbon deposits on engine internal surfaces and reduction of exhaust emissions
- These additives are of various types such as various metallic compounds, and high volatility, low molecular weight hydrocarbon compounds
- Some more advanced additives use platinum, rhodium and other precious metals, in various compound forms including, more recently, organometallic compounds which readily dissolve in fuels, to enhance the combustion process
- extra chemical compounds are added to the fuel, which may have undesirable secondary effects such as high toxicity on exposure and additional emissions of heavy metal compounds in the exhaust gas stream
- a fuel additive consisting of a small amount of crystalline structured water with crystals in the micron or submicron size range, mixed with a simple alcohol, organic solvent or other carrier, or directly, without a carrier, which burns readily, is added in small quantities to the fuel Growth and formation of these crystalline water structures are fully covered in my patent applications USSN 08/217,042 and USSN 08/182,410
- the type of microscopic crystalline water structure, called I F crystal structured water is selected for its catalytic effect on fuels and the I F crystal based additive, when added to a hydrocarbon fuel, grows similar structures in the fuel itself

- the water to be structured (10) is placed in a tank (1 1) and a pump (12) drives the liquid into pipe (15)
- the liquid entering pipe (13) passes through control valve (14) and flowmeter (16).
- the initial structuring solution (22) is placed in tank (24) and is metered into the mainflow through valve(20) and flowmeter (18) into the line (19)
- the two solutions then enter the static mixer (26) where mixing occurs in the turbulent environment created by the static mixer.
- the mixed liquid then enters pipe (41) and flows into tank (40) as solution (42)
- This solution then enters pipe (39) and passes through valve (38) and flowmeter (36) into pipe (35)
- Some of the incoming mainflow is directed through pipe (28) and enters pipe (30), passes through valve (32) and flowmeter (34) and hence mixes with the flow from pipe (35) in pipe (37) the mixed flow then passing through static mixer (62) and entering pipe (60).
- the mixed flow then enters tank (56) as solution (58)
- the solution (58) then leaves tank (56) and passes through valve (54) and flowmeter (52) and into pipe (50)
- Part of the flow from pipe (28) enters pipe (44) and passes through valve (46) and flowmeter (48) into pipe (51)
- the flows from pipe (51) and (50) are then mixed in static mixer (64) and finally leaves the system through pipe (66), as final structured liquid (68)
- the ratios of flows in the various pipes is covered in the detailed discussion the comes later
- FIG. 2 is a schematic of a self-generating process for producing structured liquids
- a small amount of structured liquid (84) is placed in tank (82)
- the structured liquid (84) is then passed through valve (86), pipe (88) and flowmeter (90).
- Ordinary unstructured liquid (72) from tank (70) is pushed by pump (74) through valve (76) and flowmeter (78) into pipe (80).
- the contents of pipe (88) and pipe (80) mix together and pass through the static mixer (94) and into pipe (96).
- the mixture then passes into tank (98) and is stored (100)
- This mixture is then passed through valve (102) into pipe (104).
- valve (106) When valve (106) is closed the liquid flows through valve (108) into tank (110) as liquid (112) which is further structured in tank (1 10) .
- the solution can then be recirculated through pipe (1 14) into tank (82) and remixed as before with some fresh unstructured liquid from pipe (80)
- the mixture then passes as before into pipe (104) and can be either routed back to tank (1 10) or it can be drawn off through pipe (1 16) for use
- FIG 3 is schematic of the reactor system used to evaluate the effect of the additive on combustion processes.
- a temperature controlling bath (120) containing a bubbler (122) filled with structured liquid (124) is connected up to a methane (130) and a carbon monoxide (132) gas supply The gas is pumped through pipe (128) into the bubbler (122) where it picks up vapor of the structured liquid (124) and carries it through pipe (126) into the reactor premixing tube (142).
- premixing tube (142) other gases such as argon (134) is fed in Oxygen (136) is metered into the quartz reactor (144) to control the degree of combustion
- Oxygen (136) is metered into the quartz reactor (144) to control the degree of combustion
- the premixed gases including the structured liquid are then fed into the quartz reactor (144) where the gases and structured liquid are combusted by the three-stage electric furnace (146)
- the post combustion gases pass through pipe (148) and into the vent ( 150)
- Some of the gases are drawn through pipe (152) into a gas analyzer ( 154)
- Figure 4 shows the components of a typical crystalline water structure as observed under a scanning electron beam microscope.
- the crystal is composed of small individual crystalline structures (160) and (164) of different sizes, connected together
- the overall size of the crystal structure (162) is about 2 to 3 microns long by 1 micron wide Flat spots (166) and (168) are created by individual crystals that are no longer attached to the main body
- Figure 5 illustrates oxygen (180) showing individual atoms (174) and the covalent bond (182) attached by electrical force, to the surface of an individual water crystal (171) of a crystalline water structure (170)
- a hydrocarbon fuel molecule (178) consisting of carbon atoms (176) and hydrogen atoms (177) are shown attached to the same surface (171) of the crystalline water structure (170) This attachment brings the oxygen and hydrocarbon in close proximity to each other, thus greatly increasing the probability of reaction between the two and hence oxidation of the fuel

- L F -structured liquid is broadly defined as the structured liquids prepared by the earlier two inventions referenced above on page 1
- L E -structure specifically means that the structure is induced in the liquid by strong electric fields which can come about from the electric field of an ion or from the dipole moment of molecules
- I E -structured water is one specific case of the general class of L F -structured liquids that is formed from water molecules
- S E -structured solid is broadly defined as the structured solids that are formed under a strong electric field and also those that are prepared by the methods defined in the earlier two inventions in my patent applications 08/182,410 and 08/217,042 listed above.
- L E -structured liquid is actually a liquid that contains S E -structured solids
- Structured water is water which is I E -structured and has a strong electric dipole moment. These electric dipole moment structures can induce electric dipole moments in neutral molecules that move near them.
- the electric attractive force around the I E structures in the liquid draw neutral molecules toward the surface of the I E structures The attraction is greater if the electric dipole moment of the I E structure is larger.
- the results of this attraction force is the creation of crystalline water structures which are submicron in size
- the present invention is a combustion enhancing fuel additive that uses no chemical materials but which uses I E structures as well as creates crystalline structures in hydrocarbon fuels that both enhance the combustion of these fuels To understand how this occurs, the following discussion on the chemistry of combustion processes is presented. Chemistry of Combustion Processes
- I E represents the catalytic effect of the crystal structure
- the sulfuric acid problem will be reduced due to the following reactions First, the sulfur oxide converts to an acid form by reacting with the water molecules in the I E crystal
- the sulfuric acid then reacts with other impurities in the coal, to form a salt so that very little acid is emitted in the exhaust gases from the coal combustion process
- One such reaction is that of the sulfuric acid with calcium carbonate, which is also present in the coal as a contaminant
- R N is the reaction rate of the I L crystal N is the factor of increase of the electric dipole moment and Ro is the reaction rate of ordinary water molecules
- the carbon monoxide combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide This reaction is particularly important in the reduction in pollution from the exhaust gas of a car engine
- the addition of I] crystals into the car engine will facilitate the above reactions in the following way
- the I E crystal attracts both the carbon monoxide and the oxygen to its surface due to its electric dipole moment
- the large electric dipole moment will induce the oxygen molecule electric dipole moment so that the oxygen molecule will be attracted to the I r crystal
- Carbon monoxide has its own permanent electric dipole moment and will be attracted to the I E crystal so that the carbon monoxide and oxygen molecules will spend much more time in close proximity than would otherwise occur if the I E crystal were not present leading to a rapid increase in the oxidation rate of the carbon monoxide
- the kinetic energies of CO and O 2 attracted to the I r crystal will be increased greatly, and hence increase their reaction rate
- the I E crystals serve as a catalyst to reduce carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide It is sometimes more convenient to use structured solids now called S E
- a particular device of this type would be a catalytic converter in a car where currently platinum, rhodium, palladium and other precious metals are now used These precious metals can be substituted by S E structured solids such as structured quartz or structured ceramic The general reaction of S E structured solids is
- the fuel additive a mixture is made up of 10% of I E structured water and 90% of an organic solvent, such as ethyl alcohol, ethyl glycol, propylene glycol, or isopropyl alcohol
- an organic solvent such as ethyl alcohol, ethyl glycol, propylene glycol, or isopropyl alcohol
- the mixture is shaken so that the organic solvent, having a strong dipole moment, is also altered in structure by the presence of I E crystals in the I E structured water
- the fuel additive is then ready to be mixed with fuel such as gasoline, diesel or any other petroleum fuel product or to a solid fuel such as coal or coke.
- the mixing of the additive can be done in large volumes with a static mixer as shown in Figure 1
- the additive is then added to the fuel as follows Approximately 2 ounces of the additive mixture is poured into a 20 gallon gasoline or diesel fuel tank, prior to refill This is a ratio of 1000 1 , so the amount of actual water being added is no more than 80 ppm, which is acceptable for both gasoline and diesels
- the gasoline or diesel is then poured oif'top of the additive and the resulting mixing in the tank is sufficient to create the structures throughout the gasoline or diesel Since these structures are small, in the micron and submicron range, they will pass readily through the fuel lines, fuel pump, fuel filters and injectors On entering the combustion chamber, mixed in the fuel, the structures with their surface charge, enhance the combustion of fuel according to the reactions described in the previous sections
- dilute solution L passes through and is controlled by a valve V 2 Its flow rate R 2 is measured by flow meter F 2
- flow rate R 2 is measured by flow meter F 2
- the ratio can be 1/9, 1/99, 1/999 or 1/499, or any other number A preferred range for is 1/3 to 1/100.
- the two solutions will be mixed in a first static mixer SMI .
- a common static mixer which is well known in the art, is screw-like in shape with a left-handed screw groove alternating with a right-handed screw groove.
- the two solutions L, and L m will be mixed in a turbulent flow inside the static mixer SMI
- the static mixer SMI should be long enough so that the mixing time of the two liquids, L, and L m , in the static mixer SMI is more than several seconds
- the mixed solution of L, and L m is now shown as L, in Figure 1 and is directed to a separate second tank T 2
- the second tank marked T 2 is necessary to provide some time for the mixed solution L, to rest or settle into a stable solution
- the mixed solution Li should be allowed to dwell in tank T 2 for a period of no less than one half hour
- the mixed and now-settled solution L] now referred to as L ] S is channeled through a valve V 4 , and its flow rate R 4 is measured by a flow meter F 4
- the liquid L]S is to be mixed again with deionized water L m , that is the portion of deionized water L m which has been channeled through valve V 3 and flow meter F 3 .
- the combined liquid is now denoted as L 2 and passes through a second static mixer SM2 which is of the same type as the first static mixer SMI
- the L 2 liquid should also have a mixing time in SM2 of more than several seconds Thereafter, the mixed solution L 2 , is directed to flow into a separate third tank T 3
- the mixed solution L 2 should be allowed to settle or dwell in tank T ⁇ for a period of no less than one half hour
- the mixed and now settled solution L 2 now referred to as L 2 s is channeled through a valve V 6 , and its flow rate R is measured by the flow meter F 6
- L 2 s is allowed to mix with deionized water L m , that is that portion of L m which passes through valve V 5 at flow rate R s as measured by flow meter F 5
- all r can be set differently
- the two solutions should have a mixing time in the third static mixer SM3 of a period no less than several seconds
- Static mixer SM3 should be of the same sort as the previous static mixers
- the liquid which passes out of the third static mixer SM3 may be the final structured water L 0 or further mixing, dwelling, and dilutions as set forth in this and the previous steps may be undertaken Further, instead
- the strength of structured alcohol or structured liquid will depend on the strength of the structured water or liquid L, one starts with The stronger L, we have, the stronger the final liquid L 0 is
- Petroleum has a complex chemical composition It contains may organic chemicals which have finite electric dipole moment So any liquid fuel made out of petroleum contains at least some polar liquid, and can be made into structured liquid
- structured alcohol becomes L Page and the L m is fuel, which could be gasoline, diesel, or liquefied gas Then as the fuel L m is mixed in various stages, the fuel L m will become structured and comes out as L 0 structured fuel Production of Strong Structured Liquid
- the production system is illustrated in Figure 2A.
- the deionized water L m is pumped through pump P through the system. Its flow rate R, is controlled by valve V, and measured with a flow meter F, .
- Structured water Lj passes through valve V 2 at rate R 2 as measured by flow meter F 2 . It is after structured water L, passes through valve V 2 that it mixes with deionized water L, .
- the ratio r can be 1/9, 1/99, 1/999 or 1/499, or any other number. A preferred range for r is 1/3 to 1/99.
- the mixed solution is mixed thoroughly and in a turbulent way, by static mixer SM, the same as described with respect to Figure IA.
- the new solution is called L 2 and is stored in a second tank T 2 , where it should dwell no less than 15 minutes and preferably at least one half hour.
- the majority of solution L 2 will pass through a valve V 4 as the final product L 0 .
- a small part of the solution L 2 will be channeled via valve V 5 to a third tank T 3 , where the solution L 2 is strengthened in one of the fashions discussed above. After the solution L 2 is strengthened, it is fed back to first tank T, as solution L, .
- a small part of the solution L 2 is fed back to be strengthened in T 3 .
- the strength of output L 0 will be constantly changing for a period, since a stronger and stronger Li is used as the cycle continues This will continue until at a certain point the strength of L, will peak
- the user will wish to operate the system until a peak strength output L 0 is achieved and then use this output L 0
- Figure 2A discloses only one step of mixing, diluting and dwelling This may be altered to increase the number of steps depending on the degree of dilution desired and the peak number of structures desired in the output L 0
- dwell tanks are described These dwell tanks may act also as tanks which increase the aspects of the liquid which cause the liquid to absorb light waves in a range differing from that of normal water Accordingly, the tanks may be constructed for both purposes One fashion of doing this would be to line the tanks with glass Another way would be to place glass marbles in the tanks
- Dwell tanks have been discussed in both figures In a modification, these tanks could be omitted altogether, thereby deleting the step of interrupting the process for a specified time for the fluids to dwell
- the fuel additive of the invention is based on crystalline structures in water and therefore provides an environmentally friendly method for enhancing the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels.
