Next, a method for manufacturing a new fuel will be described.
In the mixed fuel manufacturing method, as shown in FIG. 2, first, water particles are atomized by a water nanomixer 4, ionized by first to third water reformers 5 to 7, and then a high frequency irradiation device. 8 irradiates high frequency to make the molecular bond of water unstable (step 01). The high-frequency irradiation device 8 irradiates a high frequency of, for example, 3000 to 7000 Hz repeatedly for 5 minutes or more, with one irradiation time being 1 minute. The process of making the molecular bonds of water unstable (step 1) involves transferring water from the first water tank 2 to the second water tank 3, and then transferring the water from the second water tank 3 to the second water tank 3. The process of transferring water to one water tank 2 is set as one time, and is repeated until a predetermined number of times is reached (step 02: YES).
On the other hand, the fuel oil is atomized by passing through the fuel oil nanomixer 20 (step 03). The process of making the fuel oil into fine particles (step 03) is performed by transferring water from the first fuel oil tank 18 to the second fuel oil tank 19 and then from the second fuel oil tank 19 to the first fuel oil. The process of transferring water to the working tank 18 is set as one time, and the process is repeated until a predetermined number of times is reached (step 04: YES).

When the process of making the molecular bond unstable (step 01) reaches a predetermined number of times (step 02: YES), the water that has made the molecular bond unstable from the second water tank 3 is stirred by the agitation tank 31. The required amount of enzyme is added to the water from the enzyme tank 30 and stirred (step 05). This stirring (step 05) is performed until a predetermined time is reached (step 06: YES).
When the process of stirring the enzyme in the water (step 05) reaches a predetermined time (step 06: YES), the necessary amount of fuel oil atomized from the second fuel tank 19 is transferred to the stirring tank 31, Water, enzyme, and fuel oil are stirred in the stirring tank 31 and reacted in the reaction nanomixer 32 (step 07).
In the process of this reaction (step 07), the molecular state of water is divided into an atomic state, and a fuel not containing a water component is used to produce a new fuel. That is, water particles having an unstable molecular bond are separated into H ₂ O → H + OH radicals by the force of an enzyme, and water particles having an unstable molecular bond are separated by H, Divide into H and O primitives. Then, the carbon chain in the fuel oil is broken by the separated OH radicals, and H and OH radicals are bonded to the broken carbon, and the separated H, H and O primitives are converted into H ₂ and O ₂ molecules. As well as carbon in fuel oil.
This process (step 07) is performed under a predetermined condition until a predetermined time is reached (step 08: YES), and a new fuel is manufactured as a fuel not containing a water component.

A new fuel was produced by the above production method and a combustion experiment was conducted. In the production, 200 liters of enzyme and 20 liters of fuel oil (light oil) were added to 20 liters of water to produce 40 liters of new fuel. In the combustion experiment, 2 liters were taken from the produced new fuel, 2 liters of new fuel and 2 liters of fuel oil (light oil) were burned at a temperature of 800 ° C., and the combustion time was measured. As a result, the burning time of fuel oil (light oil) was about 7 minutes, the burning time of new fuel was about 14 minutes, and the burning time of the new fuel was about twice that of the original fuel oil (light oil). .
New fuel combines carbon of fuel oil with H and OH radicals separated from water, and burns hydrogen by assisting combustion of hydrogen (H) with separated oxygen (O). As a result, the combustibility was improved and the calorific value was increased. As a result, the amount of fuel oil (light oil) used can be reduced and fuel consumption improved by using a new fuel in which water and fuel oil (light oil) are assimilated and fused.

The test data and phenomena that prove the above binding reaction are listed below.
1. According to the comparison of new fuel analysis data and fuel oil at the Japan Maritime Examination Association (see Fig. 3), when a new fuel test using fuel oil A as heavy oil and light oil is performed, moisture remains in the new fuel. Was almost absent (A heavy oil: 0.027%, diesel oil: 0.00057%).
2. In the comparison of the calorific value of the new fuel with light oil as the fuel oil (see Fig. 3), the calorific value of the new fuel (45870 J / g) is compared with the calorific value of the light oil (38200 J / g). It has increased by about 20%.
3. In the distillation reduction test of a new fuel using light fuel oil (see FIG. 4), no moisture was found in the components of the reduced new fuel even when the test was performed up to 350 degrees and 95%.
4). The cetane number (see Fig. 4) of the new fuel that uses fuel oil as light oil sufficiently satisfies the JIS standard (45 or more) (54.9).
5. In the case of a new fuel in which fuel oil is light oil, in a fuel consumption test using an internal combustion engine (diesel internal combustion engine) (see FIG. 5), fuel consumption is reduced (1.17 L → 0. 93L, 1.64L → 1.42L), fuel efficiency was confirmed.
6). In comparison of combustion temperature and fuel consumption (see Fig. 6), both the new fuel with light oil as fuel oil and the new fuel with heavy fuel oil as A fuel oil hardly use air in the burner combustion test. Combustion was performed in a state in which the air intake was blocked by 90% or more, and the combustion temperature was also burned at a temperature as high as 20% (in the example of light oil, 844 ° C. → 1043 ° C.). When this was replaced with combustion efficiency, a result that the combustion efficiency was approximately doubled (in the example of light oil, 06: 16 → 13: 25) was obtained.

As described above, in the new fuel production method, an enzyme is added to water in which molecular bonds are unstable, the water and fine fuel oil are reacted, and the molecular state of water is divided into atomic states. A new fuel is manufactured with no water component.
Thereby, this new fuel manufacturing method can manufacture a new fuel in which water and fuel oil are assimilated and fused, and can increase the amount of fuel. The produced new fuel can improve the combustibility and increase the calorific value, thereby improving the fuel consumption. In addition, the method for producing a new fuel according to the present invention can produce a new fuel having no moisture separation and residue. The manufactured new fuel can improve the combustibility, reduce the emission of CO ₂ and particulate matter, and improve the combustion efficiency by complete combustion.
In the above-described examples, catalase is exemplified as the enzyme. However, the enzyme is not limited to catalase as long as it has an action of dividing water into a primitive state. Moreover, in the above-mentioned Example, although 1 volume% was illustrated as a ratio of the enzyme with respect to water, this ratio can be changed according to the property of water.

The new fuel produced by the present invention can be used as a fuel for a combustor such as a diesel internal combustion engine or a hot water boiler.
