Intro: DIY Fuel Ionizer for real cheap. Really works.

What are the resources? What are the tasks necessary to make 100% of humanity a success? How can we ever do so without ever advantaging one human at the expense of another? How may we render all the world and all its treasures enjoyable available to all men without having one interfering with or trespassing upon the other? How may we reform the environment so that the integrity of all society is not violated by the free initiatives of the individual nor the integrity of the individual violated by the developing welfaring advantage and happiness of the many? - R. Buckminster Fuller

Aloha Yall OK. I know you came here to find out my recipe for an extremely (almost free) cheap, easily constructed by joe average fuel saving and emission reduction device that will cut your fuel bill by a huuge amount AND almost eliminate smoke WHILE cleaning your engine components. And you will. In abit. First though, I wish the story to be known. Well ok, my story. If you don't feel like reading this right now, I understand, though I hope you will get curious later. You can get the recipe at Quit your yakking and just gimme da #$$%^! recipe. (link recipe) The reason behind this technology and the way I choose to make it massively and easily available is that it has the potential to actually make a difference in air quality worldwide. The use of oil though, notwithstanding the increase in fuel efficiency due to this device, I don't anticipate will decrease. People will simply drive more or blow more leaves.. Remember when we all thought computers making us more efficient will reduce our work? Turns out we just used the freed up time to work more. Like that. No, I anticipate the major impact will be a tangible and almost instantaneous improvement of your local air. I mean your local local air like your garage when you warm up the car; the truckpark at your diner; the bus station; the ferry; your construction site; your leafblower (admit it, you have one of these mega air polluters). This is the way I hope it will happen. Some people will notice the results of them and their network implementing an actual proactive act of enviromental remediation by making and installing an emission control and fuel efficiency device in their engines. Perhaps this might, I hope, lead to a change in thinking viz. A) I can actually make a difference (not just claim to be a currently trendy "green") B) It is good economics (in your wallet, not on some TV ecopundits's chalk board). A massive rethinking on an all planet over local level is needed to change things. That is my goal behind my passing on the info. Maybe people can feel some hope again amid the gloomy outlook being shilled by mass media. Maybe even revival of the idealism and zeal we once had when we were young? (I am referring to my own age group of B/IPPIES (Boomers/ex hippies) and our tarnished hopes here). This is my own motivation. Goes to show you can take the hippie out of the commune but you take the commune(ity) out of the hippie. Some of us simply refuse to cut our hair (even if it is getting a bit thin :-) I do get a selfish (sorta) and beautiful benefit doing this. You know how you feel when you help someone or do a good deed? I hope you remember anyway. yeah you do. Otherwise you wouldn't be reading this, heheheh. For me I always got off on coaching Little League. The feeling I get when I do, is, for me, right up there in the feelings leaderboard. This I have figured out lately (from energy cultivation studies-see below) is because FEELINGS ARE REAL AS GRAVITY. Now it don't take much of a genius to figure that the cadillac of feelings is Love. The rest is merely static. It is so simple to me now. I feel great when I coach kids because they love me!! Kids are pure and innocent and their love is pure and innocent and static free. We feel this most easily and acutely. I know I am not wrong when I say - Everybody knows this (yadayadayada rational mind schrational mind...). Oh some of us (too many) go through some period where we let life kick us around so much we think this is not true. Rerealize the truth. Please. My mentors taught me that if I generate useful new information, Universe will bestow benefits and blessings tenfold upon me. This is always been true and remains so. There are many people who follow this credo and I admire them as a class. I wanted to continue to do this. I still have many ideas and developed projects in the works as I enjoy Designing (in the Bucky Fuller definition) and I wanted to get them out there. The real world business bit has never been a pleasure for me. So I decided to just give the designs away. No strings attached. Go for it. Run with it. Make it . Use it. Give it. Sell it. Tell it. Spread it. Link it. Translate it. Mirror it. Facebook it. Google it. Just please mention the E.L.V.I.S. site (as a way of furthering the distribution). I want many millions to use this information, build this device, reduce personal air pollution, save lotsa dough, make a business, rekindle hope, feel enpowered, feel just plain good to do something. I want the most love vibes possible. I want to feel, in my deepest soul body the cascade of resplendence. And get wiped out in the laughing tumble cycle of the goodvibes tsunami already approaching. I trust Universe to bestow appropriate blessings upon me. :-D I give you the Electrochemical Liquid Vortexing Ionization System. E.L.V.I.S. Hey I think its cute and memorable while paying due respects to The King. Its actually TM in the Philippines where I currently live on a small island with my family cultivating bamboo, organic food and reefs. E.L.V.I.S. TM Electrochemical Liquid Vortex Ionization System. An inline catalytic device that electrochemically charges fuel to enhance dispersion through self repulsion resulting in more complete combustion. E.L.V.I.S. reduces soot; dissolves deposits; increases horsepower; cleans emissions and improves fuel economy. E.L.V.I.S. makes your old engine rock like new. The Science Certain metals, under special environments can be persuaded to donate electrons (negatively charged subatomic virtual particles). These free electrons will attach themselves to molecules of any conductive fluid or gas with which they are in contact. This causes these molecules to become cationic (acquire a negative electrical charge). Since like charges repel, when this fluid (say hydrocarbon fuel) is atomized into a spray, this tendency results in a more finely and widely dispersed cloud.This allows more contact with oxygen molecules and increases the efficiency of combustion. This increases the total amount of heat energy (BTUs) available, preventing soot (unburned fuel) formation as well as consuming any previous soot. This translates immediately to more clean horsepower from less fuel. These principles of electrochemistry (over a century old) have been applied in devices both common, (ex. batteries), and classified (ex. rocket engines). Jet Propulsion Lab's 1984 report for NASA - NPO 15715 - REDUCING SOOT IN DIESEL ENGINES - on the effect of charged fuel on soot reduction concluded that charged fuel produced less soot during combustion. Their 1998 report, NASA - NPO 20219 - ELECTROSTATIC DISPERSION OF FUEL DROPS TO REDUCE SOOT - comparing electrostatic ionization vs. atomization of fuel concluded - "Electrostatic charging is superior to mechanical centrifugation for combined soot nucleation reduction and enhancement of evaporation" Exclusive to E.L.V.I.S., the outbound fuel stream is spun into a high speed vortex that braids the liquid inwardly into a higher energy imploded state. When released by the fuel pump this pent up energy causes an extra outward impetus to the fuel molecules in addition to the self repelling effects of like charges. Electrostatic fuel ionization technology has been extensively tested and is currently being used by corporations, government agencies and military forces all over the world. Affordable consumer level devices using this principle have not been widely available until the E.L.V.I.S. For all the details go to www.the-elvis.info

Step 1: Ingredients
Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment. . . . Humanity is in 'final exam' as to whether or not it qualifies for continuance in Universe. It is the integrity of each individual human that is in final examination. On personal integrity hangs humanity's fate - R. Buckminster Fuller? How to make your own E.L.V.I.S. Personal and commercial models Personal model. All small engines, marine/autos/pickups, gas or diesel. Not LPG. Ingredients: Copper beads Aluminum beads Zinc or Stainless steel beads Ordinary plastic inline fuel filter small piece of aluminum or stainless steel mesh Optional fancy metal screw type cleanable fuel filter small Neodymium (rare earth) magnet Small piece of aluminum

Step 2: Recipe
"Wealth is our organized capability to cope effectively with the environment in sustaining our healthy regeneration and decreasing both the physical and metaphysical restrictions of the forward days of our lives." -R. Buckminster Fuller Recipe make 1/2 tsp of copper, aluminum, zinc (or stainless steel) by cutting approx.1/8 inch pieces of approx. 1/8 inch thick wire. For zinc use ordinary galvanized chainlink fence type wire. Buy an ordinary economy plastic fuel filter intended for the engine you have in mind. Or use a more expensive metal screw open replacable/cleanable type. Insert all the beads one by one into the filter through the intake tube. Tap it all down into the canister. Optional: Break up a neodymium (rare earth) magnet small enough to insert a small piece in with the beads. Either 1) or 2) 1) Cut a small unpainted piece of aluminum from a beer can to 1/4 inch long and wide as the inside diameter of output tube. make a longitudinal 1/2 twist in it (like a barber pole). Insert tightly into output tube so that no bead can get through. (test this) 2) Cut a 1/4 inch x 1/2 inch approx piece of stainless steel or aluminum mesh with holes smaller than 1/8 inch. Roll or fold it and insert into output tube so as to prevent beads from coming through. Test this.

Step 3: Installation
Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviors that will avoid extinction. - R. Buckminster Fuller Installation Install like an ordinary extra fuel filter observing the direction arrows - input tube toward fuel tank, output tube toward fuel pump/carburetor. Must be located after the normal fuel filter and before the fuel pump/carburetor. Your normal filter now prefilters the fuel prolonging the life of the E.L.V.I.S. by slowing down clog up. Use extra fuel hose as needed but locate E.L.V.I.S. as close to fuel pump/carburetor as possible and stabilize it in some manner in a level position away from heat sources. E.L.V.I.S. will work forever and never wear out. However. Since the EL Cheapo version above uses a paper element filter, it will eventually clog up even with another filter prefiltering the fuel. This will probably take years (if you change the prefilter at recommended intervals). When it eventually clogs up...well you'll have to pass up another Starbucks latte :-) Those who want to avoid this can use a fancy metal screwtype filter and replace the filter element with the beads. No clogging problem ever.

Step 4: Commercial models

Commercial model. Same recipe and ingredients as the personal model but with the following modifications. Big trucks, buses, construction machines usually use a large canister type fuel filter with hydraulic type lines and fittings. The cheapest method: Fill the element canister 1/2 to 2/3 with beads/magnet so the reservoir is ionized and then sucked through the filter. The expensive method: Install another fuel filter canister made as above. This involves extra lines and fittings that have to be made by qualified hydraulic mechanics. This is not expensive as the components are stock.

Step 5: How it works and Test results

The Theory By passing a conductive fluid [diesel or gasoline] over a series of dissimilar metals an electrolytic charge is generated in the fuel stream. This small ionizing (-) charge primarily effects the fuel stream at the point of atomization (dropletting) at the fuel injector nozzle. An uncharged fuel droplet within the vapor cloud in the combustion chamber tends to clump together creating larger droplets with less surface area of fuel exposed to oxygenation at the instant of combustion. The negatively charged fuel droplets within the vapor cloud will now repel each other causing smaller droplet diameters and a finer mist. That finer mist burns at statistically higher temperatures than a non-ionized fuel stream and significantly improves combustion efficiency resulting in less unburned fuel, soot, smoke and particulate. Reductions in carbon and nitrous based gases are also demonstrated. The efficiency of fuel ionization was demonstrated at NASA-JPL by Bellan and Harstad in 1984 and 1998 Electrostatic Dispersion of Fuel Drops To Reduce Soot A numerical simulation shows that electrostatic dispersion is superior to mechanical dispersion. - JPL Labs, Pasadena, California Electrostatic dispersion of drops of sprayed liquid fuel has been proposed as a technique for reducing the amount of soot formed during burning of the fuel. It is necessary to disperse fuel drops in order to reduce local concentrations of fuel-rich vapors, because such concentrations favor the nucleation of soot. The present technique can be implemented by use of a previously developed device called an electrostatic triode; this device puts like electrostatic charges onto sprayed fuel drops to generate dispersion of the drops. Another technique for reducing the formation of soot is mechanical dispersion through utilization of turbulence. The effectiveness of electrostatic versus mechanical dispersion for reducing the formation of soot has been investigated in a theoretical and computational study. In the study, the mechanical and thermodynamic interactions between fuel drops and the surrounding gases were simulated numerically by use of a mathematical model similar to the models used in previous studies of sprayed liquid fuels that have been performed by the same innovators and summarized in a number of articles in NASA Tech Briefs. The model includes, among other conservation equations, equations for the momenta of the drops. The electrostatic forces were included in these equations for those drops that were considered to be charged. The calculations for the charged drops were stopped at the Rayleigh limit; that is, secondary atomization was not modeled. The results of the numerical simulations were interpreted as signifying that electrostatic dispersion would be superi- or to mechanical dispersion for reducing the nucleation of soot; this finding gave rise to speculation that perhaps a combination of electrostatic and mechanical dispersion might be even more effective. However, further numerical simulation revealed that for the purpose of reducing the formation of soot, the combination electrostatic and mechanical dispersion would not offer a

http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Fuel-Ionizer-for-real-cheap-Really-works/

significant advantage over electrostatic dispersion alone. This work was done by Josette Bellan and Kenneth Harstad of Caltech for NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NPO-20219 " ... It has been shown that drop-induced mechanical centrifugation cannot achieve the same beneficial effects as electrostatic dispersion... to reduce soot nucleation while promoting evaporation. ...electrostatic charging is superior to mechanical centrifugation for combined soot nucleation reduction and enhancement of evaporation."

The desirable thin fuel stream and associated high field treatment within the fuel line could also be located and created within the inlet section of the fuel injector body itself. ? TEST RESULTS There is no shortage of data to support the effectiveness of bimetallic ionization in dispersal of fuel particles. The following data is from informal tests using my 15 year old Honda gas scooter and 9 yr old KIA diesel jeep. Each has been on the E.L.V.I.S. since 2006 so we expect there to be cumulative cleaning effects of ionization. This is borne out by their baseline ( E.L.V.I.S. removed) readings which are above norm by about 100%, a result considered by the inspector as unprecedented even in new engines. When the E.L.V.I.S. was reinstalled for the test, a further significant effect on hydrocarbon content (HC), ie smoke was noted; Carbon monoxide (CO) were also hugely reduced.

Step 7: FAQ
Since synergy is the only word in our language meaning behavior of wholes unpredicted by behavior of their parts, it is clear that society does not think there are behaviors of whole systems unpredicted by their separate parts. This means that society's formally-accredited thoughts and ways of accrediting others are grossly inadequate in comprehending the nonconceptual qualities of the scenario " universal evolution." Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviors that will avoid extinction. -R. Buckminster Fuller ? FAQ WILL INSTALLING THE E.L.V.I.S. VOID MY ENGINE WARRANTY? Not any more than any aftermarket fuel filter. WILL THE E.L.V.I.S. AFFECT THE FUEL FLOW? No IS THERE A FLOW DIRECTION OF THE FUEL? Yes, Like on any fuel filter HOW LONG WILL THE E.L.V.I.S. LAST? Indefinitely, there are no moving parts, nothing wears out. DOES THE E.L.V.I.S. WORK ON ALL ENGINES? Yes; however the results will vary with different makes, models and engine condition. The older, the more significant improvement. DOES E.L.V.I.S. WORK ON BIODIESEL OR VEGETABLE OIL FUEL? We are presently working on it. Studies by NASA say lipids such as glycerine can be ionized. WHAT SIZED ENGINE IS THE HOME VERSION E.L.V.I.S. RECOMMENDED FOR? Anything up to V8. WILL I GET MORE POWER FROM USING THE E.L.V.I.S.? Big yes. there is usually an immediate noticeable increase in power. DOES E.L.V.I.S. INCREASE IN FUEL OCTANE? Yes. DOES E.L.V.I.S. INCREASE HORSEPOWER. Yes. As much as 1% has been reported on racing motorcyle engines using ionization technology HOW DOES THE E.L.V.I.S. PROTECT MY ENGINE AND PROLONG ENGINE LIFE? Soot (unburned fuel) is trapped in the crankcase resulting in oil contamination and breakdown. Soot is also responsible for carbon deposits. Hotter, more efficient combustion reduces soot and its detrimental effects on engine oil. Ionized fuel is repelled by the grounded cylinder walls resulting in no new, and gradual dissolution of previous deposits. Your wear and tear is reduced because your oil works more effectively for longer. Your interval between maintenance and overhauls is enormously prolonged. Your engine runs better, cleaner longer. WHAT ENGINES DOES THE E.L.V.I.S. WORK ON? Gasoline, diesel, 4 stroke, 2 stroke. WHAT FUEL SAVINGS RESULTS CAN I EXPECT? Really depends. Fuel savings from industry and government fuel ionization studies show results from 2% to 40%. HOW SOON WILL I SEE OR FEEL RESULTS? Immediately!. The pickup is appreciably greater. Smoke will be much less. A couple of hundred hours of running time to dissolve the accumulated deposits and then components surfaces will stay clean. HOW IS THE E.L.V.I.S. MOUNTED? Just like an extra fuel filter. Mount it between the existing fuel filter and injector pump or carburator. CAN I MOUNT IT MYSELF? If you can install a fuel filter its the same. If not get a tech. WHAT EFFECT DOES THE IONIZED FUEL HAVE ON EMISSIONS? Independent testing done by industry certified labs on this technology has shown significant reductions in all exhaust emissions - up to 81% in some cases ARE THERE LONG TERM EFFECTS? Reduction of old and new carbon deposits rejuvenate engine parts. WHAT IS INSIDE THE E.L.V.I.S.? Aluminum, copper, stainless steel, zinc. Neodymium magnet. HOW DOES THE E.L.V.I.S. REDUCE THE VISIBLE SMOKE? Smoke is unburned fuel, the E.L.V.I.S. ionizes the fuel so that it will ignite more completely in the combustion chamber. DOES THE E.L.V.I.S. NEED TO BE SERVICED? No, once properly installed, the E.L.V.I.S. needs no maintenance

http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Fuel-Ionizer-for-real-cheap-Really-works/

other than periodic inspection. ARE THERE DIFFERENT MODELS OF E.L.V.I.S.? No. Just different configurations depending on fuel line size. ARE THERE OTHER IONIZATION DEVICES ON THE MARKET I CAN COMPARE? Some, based on different or similar principles. They are too expensive to make any impact, (from 50 to over 1200 dollars). They are commercial and designed primarily to make money. We consider this is an obsolete model for info of this type. We believe the proper model is the freeware model under creative commons licence. SO WHAT DO WE GET OUT OF THIS...? Good Carma ( Car..ma...get it? hahaha). Good vibes which we believe to be as real as gravity, like from millions of people hopefully. Some coffee. TO SUMMARIZE WHAT E.L.V.I.S.

Oct 14, 2010. 12:35 AM REPLY If there were to be an order that the fuel passed over the metals what would it be? I'm thinking about leaving the metal in bar form, and placing them perpendicular to the stream of fuel within the filter, just to make sure there was no restriction added from the balls getting stuck against the filter or opening.

rasraster says:
makenakai I looked at your test results.

There's only one baseline measurement, so it's really not possible to statistically know the true baseline values, but the ELVIS tests have an average CO% of 0.86 and a standard deviation of 0.25%. This excludes the two measurements with 0.00 CO%, as those should almost certainly be taken as outliers. The baseline CO value is 1.7 standard deviations from the average ELVIS CO measurement. Given the variation in your data, if you test 50 times you would expect 5 results that are at least 1.7 standard deviations from the mean. Typical statistical significance of a difference between the two conditions - with and without ELVIS - would be assigned if the distance is 1.96 standard deviations or more. Regarding the hydrocarbons, your baseline is only 0.32 standard deviations from the mean of the ELVIS tests. By all measures, the two conditions can be statistically assumed to be identical. Do you have more baseline data? That would help firm up the interpretation - it could even help your case.

Jan 25, 2010. 8:03 AM REPLY awesome.. BTW they add something to disel to increase the conductivity for safety purposes.(lookup Unichem 7551) And gues what ..bio diesel doesnt need ANY additives and shows good conductivity. I donot have access to bio diesel but will be happy if some one finds it out.. That proves in thoery atleast E.L.V.I.S should work for bio diesel as well. and finally one doubt i am an electronics guy I am thinking how much ionization can fuel take before any sparking occurs. ... anyone..? and do you like the National Geographic Channel Kai ;).

rasraster says:

Aug 30, 2010. 8:04 AM REPLY Hi techraptor, You're confusing increased conductivity to disperse a static charge with the fluid being conductive. The conductivity of diesel with Unichem, and the conductivity of biodiesel, is around 1/10th or less that of what might be considered a "conductive fluid." See: http://www.mvfri.org/Contracts/Final%20Reports/Chilworth_final.pdf. Diesel with Unichem and biodiesel (either with or without Unichem) is sufficiently conductive to not build up a static charge, but not conductive enough to appreciably hold/pass ions through the liquid.

rasraster says:
Hi makenakai,

Aug 30, 2010. 12:32 PM REPLY

Rentar's system is not the same principle. They do not ionize the fuel, only polarize individual molecules. Or so they claim; I don't know if it's true or not. But it's more plausible because creating dipoles is much easier than ionizing, in the absence of ions or electrons in the environment. They also create hydrogen gas, via catalysis, which speeds up the flame and allows the engine to be run at leaner conditions. All the independent verification looks compelling to me.

http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Fuel-Ionizer-for-real-cheap-Really-works/

Whether or not all their principles are sound I can't say, but on first scan I'm much more inclined to think that they've got something real.

Aug 27, 2010. 12:17 PM REPLY Hi makenakai, Thank you for the interesting instructable. Just a couple of corrections. First, negatively charged ions are anions, not cations. Second, soot is not unburnt fuel but, depending on the fuel and conditions, rather the product of either (1) fuel that has broken down to small molecules and then recombined to make fairly mega-molecules, or (2) early byproducts of fuel combined with the smaller hydrocarbon molecules. What kills soot is not high temps but rather the presence of oxygen, which "chews it up." Regarding ionization potentials, it's true that molecules can be ionized but the amount of energy it takes to do it can be very high. Those ionization potentials are typically published for use in ionizers that boil off electrons at fairly high energy, or other processes that impart a good amount of energy to a molecule. (This isn't to say that there may be no ionization taking place in your process, but I wouldn't count on having a lot of electrons with energies of ~10 eV, as it would take to ionize octane. That's a HUGE amount of energy for thermal processes - molecular bond energies are on the order of 1 eV) Finally, Batdragon's explanation involves the initial fuel containing a bunch of positive and negative ions that basically balance each other until they hit the Elvis. That isn't the case - the fuel the comes from the pump or tank or whatever is pretty much fully nonionic to begin with. What I suspect your process may be doing - and I need to read it carefully to see - is imparting static electricity to the surface of the droplets, where they basically hang out and don't ionize the liquid. You can still have droplet repulsion without ionization. Also, what's the deal with the magnet and bacteria??? I'm not familiar with such an effect. Cheers!

makenakai says:

Aug 30, 2010. 12:31 AM REPLY build one and try it. its only a coupla bucks. use an older engine. it won't harm anything. FEEl if there is any effect. empirical testing might influence your theorizing... aloha

rasraster says:

Aug 30, 2010. 4:11 AM REPLY Hi makenakai, Fair enough. But even if I get increased mileage from it, how will I know that that is due to electrostatic charging and a vortex effect and all that? To be honest and fair, for a variety of reasons that I'd like to keep personal, I won't be in a position to make a test any time soon. So I'll refrain from further comment. I hope that there IS a good benefit from your device, WHATEVER the explanation. All the best to you and those who try out your technology! Cheers!

rasraster says:

Aug 27, 2010. 1:25 PM REPLY I checked some of your key references: Bellan and Harstad use very high voltages - 100V to kiloVolts. These cannot be produced by the Seebeck effect (the voltage produced from two dissimilar metals). The Berlin et al patent used special metals (not the ones you use) for catalytic effect involving creation of a metal hydride. The "Inline Catalyst" patent you cited is no. 5881702, not no. 6000381. The fuel needs to be heated by the engine itself before going into the treatment device, though the temperatures at which hydrocarbons crack (their identified mechanism, not mine) are very unlikely to be reached there. The walls of the treatment device housing have a specific metallic composition. There is supposedly charging due to "friction" in the device (doubtful) and even capture of radio waves (doubtful that it's enough to ionize the liquid, even if it's happening). Keep in mind that patent applicants do not ever have to build the devices they patent, nor do they have to prove that they work. If the patent examiner believes the writeup, they will issue the patent. In this case, I think the patent examiner bought a three-dollar bill. Cheers! Aug 19, 2010. 11:33 AM REPLY Food for thought: The reason we did away with lead in our gas was that it was a heavy metal (the proof of the danger of such things being emitted from exhaust systems can be seen by how many dumb drivers we now find on the roads (grin)). With the foregoing in mind, and without having dwelt on the matter for more than a few seconds, is there a possibility this would result in heavy metals being kicked out through the exhaust? Nov 29, 2009. 1:05 AM REPLY Unless I'm mistaken batteries rely on an acid or an alkaline as a conductive fluid, but hydrocarbons are neither. Please, I'm not trying to criticize, I just don't see how a fluid without those properties becomes conductive. Honestly, the NASA studies are a little above my current level and don't seem to explain simply what method they're using to apply the charge to the fuel. Can you put it in Layman's (chem 101) terms? Mahalo!

Nov 26, 2009. 11:12 PM REPLY Gasoline is a hydrocarbon, neither acid nor base, so how does it create an electrolytic reaction between dissimilar metals? How is it that it takes an electrical charge? There are no free H+ ions or OH- ions, so what is going on chemically? I like your idea and I want to believe it works, but after talking to the head of my college's chemistry department I have some doubts. Please let me know what is going on electrochemically to create the -charge in the fuel.

kikiclint says:

Aug 18, 2010. 11:25 AM REPLY I am not an authority, but plastics can hold a static charge, and what would cause the droplets to spread and stay small would be a static charge which insulators can hold. My only guess about the originations of the charge would be that gasoline is a mixture of many things, including hydrocarbons, and alchohol, and many a thing unpronounceable. I would recon that one of those things allows an electrochemical reaction to occur. Nov 27, 2009. 6:02 PM REPLY

hi savagesmith,

your Chem prof is not very good... Its not my theory. it is a well established principle that has been used for almost a century - batteries are based on this. metals give up electrons in a conductive medium. Its called Ionization Potential. The conductive fluid aquires a negative charge from the free electrons. check out the NASA studies at my links. google this area. wikipedea is also good. cheers kai www.rentaria.com is the company selling the same thing for 1000's of dollars.

May 8, 2010. 7:06 PM REPLY Hey, thought you'd get a kick out of this: http://www.goodforgas.com/documents/appnotes/PID_Gas_Table.pdf It's a gigantic table of Chemical ionization potentials for various chemicals. And if you don't mind reading Harvard literature, they have a great dissertation on ionizing hydrocarbons here: http://www.chem.harvard.edu/mass/ion_selection/hydrocarbons.html I figure this should help all the "Hydrocarbon isn't acidic" arguments. Btw, Acids are used mainly because the Hydronium Ion reacts with various substances to release the hydrogen, oxidize the material it's combining with, thus releasing the negative charge and creating electricity. Other compounds and such do the same thing, just without all the chemistry. Try buffing your socks on the carpet. No acid to be found there, but plenty of electricity generated.

Jun 4, 2010. 11:43 AM REPLY im curious to what the magnets do? also if the fuel came in contact with anything metal would it not ground the charge,so in turn would the fuel particles be attracted to the sides of the cylinder, would this be enhanced if the particles of fuel carried the same charge as the engine so the spread evenly throughout the cylinder?

Batdragon says:

May 16, 2010. 4:43 PM REPLY A UK company selling the same idea, much better prices than Rentar though. To put my own thoughts to some of the questions asked here. Drasser - You would put it before the fuel pump (low pressure) but after the filter. I would really not recommend putting it right on the high pressure line as you say it will go pop and spray fuel over your nice hot engine, Now that is a recipe for disaster Savagesmith - It is not the PH of the fuel that causes the catalytic reaction, it is the properties of the metals. The Fuel is being used as a conductor for the metals which when is passed thought fuel the polarisation occurs. The process could easily be achieved by the use of an electrical input through anodes and cathodes (positive and negative plates) BUT Who in their right mind would put electricity in to the fuel line, look what a spark does in the combustion chamber!!!!! If you read this site about the Deionization of water http://www.freedrinkingwater.com/water-education2/49-water-di-process.htm you can start to get an understanding of what is going on. Though all reports say that it is a true catalyst, there is a tiny bit of erosion at the molecular level of the material, so if it was to run constant for 100 years then there might be erosion evidence (but do not quote me). I will try to put it into laymans terms for you as I see it (I welcome any corrections by Chemists and Physics people out there as I am electrical based) this is going to be a very simplified version of what is going on. Ok here we go. The fuel is a complex hydrocarbon molecule primarily neutral in charge (having equal positive and negative ions), the metals are dissimilar and are biased in a certain way (positive or negative). They are trying to pass their ions on while taking from another, think of it as three people in a triangle passing 3 balls, the object is not to have any balls, A passes to B but receives C, B passes to C but receives from A, C passes to A but receives from B, and around it goes. Thinking of that process, it can only be done in a conductive solution, in this case the fuel. The fuel acting as a carrier for the ball (positive ion) becomes charged so to neutralise itself it rips a negative one off the next hydrocarbon molecule as it passes through the materials causing the change (the metals). As there is a flow of the fuel the molecules will emerge as some positive and only a few negative, but now cant swap fully with their opposites as they are not enough of them to do so. These molecules are primarily positively charged like poles on a magnet, they want to get away from the others like themselves (similar repel). So when they are atomised in the chamber they are easier to

separate into a finer mist. This mist is burnt more evenly and efficiently and thus giving the wanted results of better fuel efficiency and better horse power. This is the theory behind it, I hope it helps you. Though I have seen loads of hearsay and conjecture about its effectiveness, both from Eye witnesses and Official bodies, I have yet to be convinced that it will do anything and that the results seen are nothing more than a placebo effect. I hope that it does work as I intend to fit one to my car. I drive a 97 Ford Mondeo 1.8 Diesel Turbo. I know how much I get out of her and how responsive she is as I regularly do a 250 mile round trip. For those that are interested I get 45mpg (UK gallon), and she is a slow beast, but keeps on plodding (201,000+ on the clock) Articas Unfortunately some people are just negative lol
