  “Efficiency Management System”

As I mentioned on the Fuel Efficiency Page, to improve the efficiency of the internal combustion engine, we need to look for ways of doing the following:

·        Evaporate liquid fuel as much as possible. Because it’s the only thing that combusts. This reduces the waste of liquid fuel.

·        Combust completely (or start moving closer to it,) without increasing temperature.

·        Reduce the temperature of the process, which will decrease Nitrogen emissions and inherently be more efficient. (Notice I said the “process” – making a bigger cooling system isn’t what I’m talking about here. I mean not creating the heat in the first place.)

·        Reduce the amount of carbon in the process – it creates CO2.

·        Stop using fuel to extinguish the flame.

·        Use fuel when you need it and don’t use fuel when you don’t – automatically.

Without making this sound too easy, I am developing an Efficiency Management System that, using different techniques, work together to accomplish these tasks. It does so by using the following practices:

·        Cold Fuel Vapor generation (More vapor gasoline, less liquid gas, and safer than other methods) along with better use of fuel vapors naturally created in the fuel tank environment.

·        On-demand Hydrogen and Oxygen from water using pulsed electrolysis. (H2, O2, and mono-atomic Hydrogen and mono-atomic Oxygen.) Part Science, part theory, part art, and ALL REAL. Even though it is a fuel itself (and a perfect one at that,) it is my opinion that it acts as a catalyst for fuel combustion more than anything else. The addition of mono-atomic Hydrogen during the combustion process results in a positive outcome that can only be guessed at how it works. This is probably the number one reason it isn’t being used en-mass. Scientists, nor I, can tell you EXACTLY how or why it works. But it does.

·        Water injection. Water injection has been used for over 50 years and is well documented as a fuel supplement used in airplanes in WW2. It does a few things: It massively expands, creating more expansion to drive the piston. It cools the flame during combustion by absorbing heat to create steam from liquid water, which in-turn means we don’t need to use fuel to put out the flame. (This is over-simplified on purpose for this section.) It creates more Hydrogen and Oxygen in the process (running steam through a hydro-carbon based fuel like Methane is the main way to mass manufacture Hydrogen today.) This makes the process of creating an equation for the combustion process much more difficult to figure out. Again with the explanation problem…

·        A microprocessor based electronics system to operate and make these individual systems work as a team and seeing that fuel is there when needed and only when needed. The method is different for carbureted models than fuel injected, but the result is the same. Working with current Electronic Control Systems built in to cars can make this even more powerful.
