The Secret Super High Mileage Report

Chapter 1

The process

After researching and experimenting with the idea of vaporizing carburetors - the simple idea of heating the fuel , to obtain fantastic mileage improvements, I came to understand this secret of cracking the gasoline down into smaller hydrocarbons and why it really could yield unbelievable gains. Read all the way through; this idea can become a benefit. May notice that the Gov't and oil companies are not helping very much!

Our (ICE) engines burn fuel in a cylinder that generates an explosion of burnt fuel - heat which exerts pressure on a piston. It then is connected to a crankshaft that rotates to produce output motion power. The type of fuel used dictates the amount of propulsion (useful energy) and heat (wasted energy) generated. A fuel that explodes generates more propulsion and less heat than a fuel that just burns.
(An explosion is rapid oxyadation)

Describing the two basic types of fuels used in either percussion and incendiary expolsion! will help explain this concept.

===

- A percussion explosion will, destroy a brick building but not generate much heat or fire.

** An example is nitroglycerin, used to extinguish oil fires. The dynamics of the explosion chases the flame front or heat of the combustion far enough away from the oil without generating more heat. This uses the oxygen completely and pushes the heat away so that the oil doesn't re-ignite.

- Percussion explosives have a singular specific boiling point, and the molecular structure of each molecule is identical causing the fuel to react together and immediately.
This is the type of reaction used in any supercarb process. It causes the dynamic motion action which generates greater pressure with much less fuel and generates much less wasted heat. It has been noticed that these systems ran much cooler even to the extent that a Canadian named Pogue; ran a car with no radiator system for an extended time with no engine damage using his system.

===

- Incendiary fuels burn and generate heat slowly causing a building to catch fire and burn.

The flame front is slower, and doesn't cause the dynamic explosion of a percussion fuel. Incendiary fuels are made up of molecules of many different sizes having a wide range of boiling points and a greater variance in molecular structure. These react slower in burning in progression as they reach different boiling points.
BTW: Only vapor burns.

Any liquid must become vapor before it burns this is generally done by heat and or compression. (like with gasoline or jet fuel) This is the process used in today's cars. It causes more heat to be generated and not as much pressure for dynamic motion.

(Not the best way to go)

This requires more fuel to achieve the motion produced. Today's gasoline has a boiling point ranging from 130 degrees to 430 degrees Fahrenheit or 54 degrees to 221 degrees Celsius.

When ignition occurs, the lowest boiling temperature fuel burns first and the heat from it is used to boil the next higher boiling temperature fuels, so that they can burn up the levels of the fuel to push the piston down. When the exhaust valve opens, the fuel continues burning into the exhaust system.

When applying this understanding to any of the many supercarb systems over the years, there were two basic ways that achieved the percussion type reaction to power the engine more efficiently.

Both vaporize the fuel.

- The first and easiest is fractionalization:

which distills the fuel and burns each level of it simultaneously because each level will consist of similarly sized molecules. Vapor systems that recirculated fuel work on this principle. The problem here is that the fuel that boils over 350 degrees Fahrenheit is left unused in the tank. If it is a water heated system then more fuel will be left depending on the vacuum and the highest temperature of the unit.

- Thermal Catalytic Cracking (TCC) is the other method and is the more efficient of the two.

TCC causes the molecular structure of the entire fuel to be changed by breaking the larger multiple carbon molecules into much smaller singular carbon molecules. The entire fuel is then made up of similar small molecules. You get methane and methanol and all the molecules now have comparable and much lower boiling points.

When it ignites, it burns completely and instantaneously and the energy is transformed more efficiently with a smaller charge. This cracking action uses all the fuel instead of leaving leftover, high boiling point fuel that normally burns in the exhaust pipe or is re-burnt in regular exhaust catalytic converters if enough oxygen is present.
If not it just goes out unburned to pollute out air. The automobile companies have used catalytic converters; which does help for reduced pollution somewhat, but the heat generated is wasted energy because it isn't moving you down the road.

- What is happening with any successful supercarb system is that the fuel is being converted completely into vaporous natural gas and methanol before getting detonated in the engine.
There is a distinct advantage to this over the standard system used in today's natural gas powered vehicles. The present system used pre-stores the natural gas in very high pressure tanks that could cause very large explosions when ruptured. (Very dangerous) Also a natural gas system cannot recover waste heat as much as with a TCC is an endothermic reaction.

This reaction can take waste heat energy and change it back to chemical energy (more efficient method), specifically, the molecular weight of the water into hydrogen and alcohol as fuel. Also a water injection system is used to quench the explosion and the pressure expansion characteristics of steam help to keep the engine running even cooler and more efficiently.

- Note: Some previous attempts to produce high efficiency carburetors used one or both of these processes, but usually did not run very long. It was not realized by the builders of these vaporizing systems that the metal of the vapor chamber itself was acting as a catalyst.
These systems soon lost efficiency because additives in gasoline coat the metal of the vapor chamber and prevent the catalytic action from taking place. Since previous inventors didn't realize what was actually taking place they were continually mystified by their system's apparent failure after a certain amount of running time.

Others have been aware of the intricacies of the system for a good many years but for various reasons have kept quiet about what they know. It is interesting to note that lead was not added to gasoline until the time of the Pogue's carburetor in the l930's. Also, understand that to eliminate the ping or knock in an engine you eliminate the larger high boiling point hydrocarbon fuels, the diesel end. Ping or knock is caused because under compression, the larger molecules are forced too close to oxygen causing spontaneous ignition, burning before the top dead center and spark plug firing timing.

The smaller the molecule the greater the octane rating, the high test fuels just have more of the fuel that boils at lower temperature and a lower top boiling point. 380 degrees instead of 430 degrees for regular fuel. Natural gas has an octane rating of about 120. This means you can run a higher compression...

** {Notice the lack of concern and wasted time with Gov't agencies} Here is the short version of the years of frustration through our U.S. patent office.

The following patent is classed as public domain, because just at the time I was publishing my book and filing my patent, the laws were changed. {notice how things change when it benefits certain people} The Patent Office put me on hold due to some regulation so that by the time it was looked considered, it was too late. Since I did know the laws and had done as I was supposed to, but the law was changed. I appealed twice and my only option was the Supreme Court which cost mega bucks. I could not afford to chase this anymore plus do not think they would patent it anyway.

** I was told they did not want this fuel system for vehicles, so here it is. See what you think.

What follows is a more specific description of the process taken straight from my patent application, complete with diagrams. Included is an explanation of my original innovation of a replaceable catalyst container with increased catalyst surface area.

This was filed November 3, 1989.

ABSTRACT

** In the conventional carburetor process in the internal combustion engine, a mixture of air and fine gasoline droplets are produced for combustion. In this invention the gasoline is catalytically converted to small molecular, light hydro carbons, methane and methanol, which are then mixed with air for combustion. The new carburetion process improves internal combustion engine efficiency and greatly reduces atmospheric pollution.

Disclosure Specifications:

This invention relates to a carburetion process for the internal combustion engine.

In the internal combustion engine a mixture of air and fine gasoline droplets are drawn into the cylinders where it is exploded to provide propulsion power. The gasoline droplets are converted to gasoline vapor by the explosion initiating sparks in the cylinders. This conversion is one source of internal combustion inefficiency. Notice - The gaseous products of the explosion and combustion of the gasoline vapor are major contributors to the pollution of our atmosphere.

Here is what I have found:

- a process for vaporizing the gasoline droplets before they enter the cylinders of the internal combustion engine, for mixing the gasoline vapor with water vapor; for converting the gasoline and water vapor mixture over a catalyst into a mixture of low molecular weight hydro carbons - methane and methanol.
The methane and methanol then mix with air and these low molecular weight hydro carbons, methane and methanol, are then drawn into the cylinders where they are exploded to provide motive power more efficiently. The gaseous products of the explosions and combustion of the low molecular weight hydrocarbons, methane and methanol, with a very minor contributor to the pollution of the atmosphere. This is what the Fed Gov't has been so called attempting to do for the past fifty years or so! Mainly the controlled corporate way, which allows more profit for manufacturers and the oil companies...

Not the freedom of of the citizens to seek the truth through a better way! HUH!

Water enters coil 3 at 3, is converted to steam in coil 3 the flow rate of the steam is controlled by the steam control valve 7 and the control flow of steam is heated further and injected into and mixed with gasoline droplets in the mixer block 2.

The mixture of steam and gasoline droplets pass into coils 8 which are made from tubing. These coils are also mounted in heater 4.

The heated mixture of steam and gasoline droplets become a mixture of steam and gasoline vapor which then enters the catalyst bed 9 which contains fine metal catalyst shavings and which is separated from heater 4 by a thermally conducting lubricant.

The catalyst bed is easily removable, for catalyst regeneration or replacement at the connector blocks 11.
The heated mixture of low molecular weight hydro carbons, methane and methanol, which are produced in catalyst bed 9, exit at 10 to be mixed with air for combustion.

1. The vaporization of gasoline droplets by waste heat from the exhaust gases of an engine to increase the efficiency with which chemical energy stored in gasoline is converted into propulsion power.

2. The catalytic conversion of a mixture of water and gasoline vapor to small molecular weight hydro carbons, methane and methanol.

5. pre carburetion system consisting of a series of tubing and catalyst bed heated by exhaust gases to regain this heat energy into further cracking of a liquid hydrocarbon and water into a lighter more aromatic hydro carbon and methanol.

This is from a Caveat I filed, November 10 1987.
{ A Caveat is a preliminary Patent application designed to register an idea before perfecting and filing a completed patent application.}

This system will change the molecular structure of a hydro-carbon, and water into a finer compound state, methane or natural gas and methanol. Using a iron particle catalyst cartridge, vaporous gasoline and steam will be regulated into the cartridge then flow into a further heated coil to allow time for the hydro-carbon to crack into a smaller molecules this finest state, natural gas and methanol.

This will align and lower the boiling point of the fuel for greater efficiency. Using heat from exhaust and electric energy from auxiliary generation, the iron will be maintained at a temperature of about 500 degrees C.

Thermistors will monitor the temperature to input to a computer to control electric elements on cartridge. Catalyst cartridge will require replacement as iron surface is poisoned out.

The gasoline and water feed lines will be preheated by coiling them around the exhaust pipe and insulating with foil and fiberglass. The gasoline will be controlled by fuel injection into a vaporizing coil maintaining a temperature 350 degrees C to maintain a complete vaporous state. The steam will be passed through a liquid trap to insure only vapor steam entering into iron catalyst cartridge.

The main structure is cylindrical with center area access for catalyst cartridge replacement. The cartridge cylinder is directly exposed to electric elements and heated surface of exhaust gases. It will be filled with a catalytic material, a metal as steel, iron.

Experimentation will produce a better catalyst. It will have two fittings one for input and one for output and will be baffled inside to allow greatest surface use and time exposure. The output of the system will be connected to a cooling coil then regulator for flow to engine. On the outside of the exhaust heat ex-changer the coil for the gasoline vaporizer stage will be wrapped, also the liquid trap may be mounted on the end.

When the steam and gasoline vapor enter the iron chamber the water is broken down, the oxygen forms with the carbon, creating methanol the hydrogen forms with hydro-carbon, cracking it into the finer form, natural gas.

The entire unit except the cartridge should be made of stainless steel, for safety and long life. This system could work also with a standard carburetor or fuel injection for the warm up cycle with an automatic temperature sensing thermistor to automatically switch the system to natural gas production when proper operating temperature is obtained.

This system will work and should be more efficient than the standard carburetor, as the reaction is endothermic. Regaining the wasted exhaust heat energy back into the fuel which now is natural gas and methanol that should give a more complete burn in the cylinder for more propulsion power.

The compression ratio will be increased and the timing changed to enhance the burn of the new fuel for greater efficiency.

The water gas explanation as found in the dictionary is one of the basis for this system. The formula: C + H2O = CO + H2 Using the presence of a catalyst and pressure and using a hydro-carbon as gasoline there is an efficient conversion at a lower temperature than required with the pure carbon.

The formula will approximately be as C8H16 + H2O = CH3OH + C1H4. I have attached drawings of the later designed system.

Part 2 follows!
