This invention is related to the fuel processing technology, in particularly a magnetic processing method for fuels.
The current typical technical theory of e.g. a four-stroke engine has four strokes in every combusting cycle.
The drawbacks of fuel supply systems of the modern internal-combustion-engine:
Although the above technologies have been improved a lot, there still a technical bottle-neck that they cannot really perfectly solve the incomplete combustion fuels in every “power-stroke”, the current technologies can only process the harmful combustible fuel residues by burning them of oxidize them. All these methods are costly and cannot prevent the wastage of fuels. We also need to know that the incomplete combustion produce the most harmful emissions to and force us to ‘clean them’ costly.
The main emissions of an internal-combustion-engine are:
The carbon particle in the exhausted fume is also a reason why there are so many respiratory patients existing in the circumstance of the traffic jam section of big cities or the main roads.
As a result of our long term studies, we found that there was a root cause of this incomplete combustion. It is the phase boundary potential of the various substance in the nature. Everything on the earth will be affected by the terrestrial magnetic field, and carry either Positive (+) or Negative (−) potential on its surface. The type of the potential that a matter carries is up to its nature, but the strength of the potential could be affected by outer environment or other extra factors.
The above two types of incomplete combustion will generate a series of harmful or toxic residues in their exhaust gases:
The incomplete fuel combustion will bring a series of pollutions and negative affections to the environment and societies. As to China, its energy consumption increased sharply, and the numbers of automotive cars also keep increasing significantly. We can hear the bad news regarding the air-pollutions in China every day, and the new trend of the pollution of China is mostly caused by the motor cars, lorries and buses that using organic fuels such as gasoline and diesel. In China, the PM pollution has become the most popular word, the black gases from the diesel engines has caused serious air pollution and series of respiratory disease and cancers. NOx and SOx, also cause precursor to smog and acid rain. Both of USA and China need to import huge quantity of oil to support their energy consumptions. But the oil prices have been driven up by the strong demand from China and other countries. On the other hand, the fuel incomplete combustion wastes a huge quantity of oil energy too. The International Greenhouse Gas Emissions has launched Carbon Gas control targets to the industrial counties, how to use the oil energy efficiently and how to reduce unnecessary energy wastage will be a very important national strategy of the government.
In order to overcome the shortcomings of incomplete combustion of modern engines, this invention provides an ideal process that could significantly increase the combustion ratio of fuels, this process can also increase the output power and torque by increasing the combustion ratio of fuel. For gasoline engines, the complete combustion can consume most of the oxygen in the Air-fuel mixtures and this could reduce the NOx and SOx too. Complete combustions could also reduce the Carbon PM significantly, this will prevent the PM pollution to the air and also prevent carbon deposition in the engines and the pollutions to the engine oil. It can extend the life cycle of engine oils efficiently.
In order to achieve the above object, this invention provides a fuel magnetization treatment method comprises the following steps of:
Preferably, the supply system comprises a fuel tank, a fuel supply tubing, an air supply tubing, and an air filter, the fuel tank being connected with the combustion device via the fuel supply tubing, and the air filter being connected with the combustion device via the air supply tubing.
Preferably, the coil is winded on the fuel supply tubing.
Preferably, the coil is winded on the fuel supply tubing and the air supply tubing, respectively.
Preferably, the coil is winded into a volute-shaped coil, attached to an insulator and then applied with a ceramic layer, so that a coil module is formed; the coil module can be installed in the fuel tank, in the air filter, on the periphery of the fuel supply tubing or the periphery of the air supply tubing, or installed in combination of any way above.
Preferably, the AC has a single frequency.
Preferably, the AC is a single AC simultaneously having several different frequencies.
Preferably, the AC has a frequency varying as a function of time.
Preferably, the engine includes gasoline engines, diesel engines, heavy oil engines, and gas turbine.
Compared with the prior engine technologies, this invention uses electromagnetic field generator unit to provide special AC magnetic fields, and uses this special magnetic field to process the fuels (liquid or gas). With using this magnetization process, it is very efficient to control the polarity of the phase boundary potentials of the fuel flow molecules: to neutralize the electric polarity of the flow molecules as demanded, i.e. electric neutralization and magnetic neutralization; or to charge the flow molecules particles to a negative (−) phase potential or to a positive (+) phase potential. The application of alternate current magnetization to the engine fuel is mainly to make the flow (fuel, air, engine oil) to have a negative (−) phase potential, so as to achieve the following effects:
Thus, after the AC magnetization treatment, the air and the fuel mixture taken into the cylinders and being compressed, then ignition. The combustion speed will be much faster and the reaction will be much more intensely, the combusting peak temperature will be increased and the pressure of gas expanding will be higher too. All these changes will increase the force power to push the piston down faster, of course, the output of the engine will be increased. Compared with the normal engine technology, an engine that uses this invention could achieve higher power performance with consuming lesser fuel. And this will also reduce Carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions too.
Please see the following description linked with the attached figures of the invention.
This invention will be illustrated with the alternate electromagnetic processing to a fluidic fuel (gasoline) being taken as examples.
The invention is about fuel magnetization process. The process comprises the following steps:
The fuel tank is connected with the engine via the fuel supply pipelines.
The air-filter is connected with the engine via the air supply pipelines.
The engine includes gasoline engines, diesel engines, heavy oil engines, and gas turbines.
The electromagnetic coils (2a) and (2b) can be deformed into electromagnetic coil modules. The basic method of making the electromagnetic coil module, is to set the wires fixed on the insulating sheet or circling film on flexible or rigid spiral shape, in which the sheet or film material for polyethylene terephthalate is a linear saturated polyester resin (PET), polyethylene (PE), polyimide resin (Polyimide). Apply ceramic coatings on the upper surface or the bottom surface, or both upper and lower surfaces. The binder resins for the ceramic coating, preferably to use epoxy resin, and add ceramic powder or ceramic fibers in the resins, and then apply to the substrates or other base material. The main component of ceramic powder or ceramic fiber containing cerium, Lanthanum, Neodymium, Phosphate ceramic component, is the natural or fine grinding after the removal of impurities made of ceramic powder, commonly known as negative oxygen ion ceramics. Characteristics of the ceramic coating has requirements are:
Synthetic similar ceramic powder can also be used. Manufacturing method of the coating can be printing, spraying, laminating, and also sintering Construction of such coil module also can be prefabricated into similar to the printed circuit board (PCB) structure, on the surface by sintering or coating formed the ceramic layer. The coil module can also with the ceramic classification directly sintered into two-dimensional (or three-dimensional (plate) hollow half cylindrical or hollow cylindrical conductor coil), formed in the internal or external ceramic structures. The electromagnetic coil module can be opened with through holes or without through holes, processing according to the needs of practical use. The Module's internal conductor spacing density and configuration can be installed in accordance with the object into the design and adjustment, the mounting methods could be adjusted depends on the characteristic of the engine's fuel and air supply system. The coil modules can also be installed on the exhaust pipe to help to reduce the carbon residues as well as being installed on the fuel and air supply lines to the engine.
The system according to this invention is formed by a circuit that connecting the ‘AC electromagnetic field generator unit (3) (see
The operational principle of the “electromagnetic field generator unit (3)” with the electronic circuit of
The “Generator Unit” can also use the electronic circuit design shown in
For example: when we send a signal distributed by 32a to the waveform generator, 33a and 33b, then we can obtained synchronous AC currents. However, if we send independent signals like the output from R system and S system (see
The electromagnetic field intensity that mentioned in this application means electromagnetic intensity in space, the unit of this intensity is V/m or A/m. The measuring method for this intensity maybe different depend on the different purpose of use. We use the unit of A/m in this invention. V means voltage, A means current, m represents the distance. The strength of the electromagnetic field generated at coil 2a (or coil 2b) has a Proportional relationship with the current intensities in the Coil 2a (or Coil 2b). We put a magnetic sensor at a position, and use the strength value that the sensor measured to express the value of the output strength of the magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil modules show proportional changes if the current intensity in the coils changed.

The results of our long term Research have proved that when we use the Special AC electromagnetic energies that generated by the Generators Unit (3) (
We prepared an Electromagnetic Processing system as shows in
The methods and procedures of measuring ZETA potential:
Test Methods and Procedures:
Use the generators according to this invention (
As illustrated in the system in
During the test, the frequencies of the AC currents passed the coil sleeve (2a) were: 0.5 KHz, 20 KHz, 40 KHz, 60 KHz, 80 KHz . . . 120 KHz. As the benchmark, the beaker 24 without any electromagnetic processing of sample solution through the discharge pipe 25 to ZETA potential tester 26, testing the ZETA potential.
The configuration installing Electromagnetic Coils (2a, 2b) on internal combustion engines:
When the special AC currents electrify (pass through) the electromagnetic Coil-modules, the coil-modules could produces AC electromagnetic fields. The AC electromagnetic fields can penetrate the fuel supply line (1a) and the Air supply pipeline (1b). The fuel flows in the fuel supply pipe lines (or the air flow in the air supply lines) will be magnetized by the AC electromagnetic fields, and carry proper unique Potentials, this is process is called The magnetization process. The magnetized fuel and air are compressed or taken into the Engine (7) by the fuel injection systems pump (6a) or Air compressor (6b). The fuel and the Air will become Fuel/Air mixture (Multi-Port injection Gasoline engine) be taken into the cylinders, or be taken into the cylinders individually (Diesel engines and Fuel Direct Injection engines). Some of the engines have ‘Fuel Return System’ that can return the over supplied magnetized fuels the fuel supply line (1a) again or back to the fuel tanks
However, the penetrating efficiencies of the electromagnetic field lines will be affected by the materials of the tube wall of the fuel pipe lines (1a) and Air supply lines (1b) The transmissivity of the electromagnetic field force strength that could penetrating the material will be in an order as below:
Lest-Iron (steel) pipe<Stainless steel Pipe<PVC (or other non-metal materials) Pipe.
When the electromagnetic coil is arranged pipe material for the magnetic field to penetrate materials, the need to increase the current intensity of electromagnetic coil to ensure AC magnetic field is strong enough to reach the interior of the pipe, realize the magnetization effect on fuel and air.
Installing the ‘Ceramic electromagnetic coil-module (2a, 2b) inside the Fuel tanks or air filter housings could improve the Magnetizing efficiencies. When install the coil-modules (2a,2b) inside, we can reduce the output power of the generator unit (3) can reduce the energy consumption of the Generator Unit (3). Another advantage of installing Coil-modules inside the fuel tanks is to neutralize the Positive Potential that the fuel carries naturally, and keep the fuel carrying Negative (−) potential, it can significantly prevent the nature oxidation of the fuel and extend the shelf life of the fuels.
To provide Negative Potential Magnetization process to fuel from inside has many advantages: To soak the Ceramic Electromagnetic Coil module (2a) in the fuel could directly magnetize the fuels efficiently with very little electromagnetic energy loss. And since the fuel was not flowing (or flow rate is very low) in the storage tank (see
The test results also proved that the Coil-module (2a, 2b) could be installed outside the fuel pipeline (

From the Table-1 test results we can see that the characteristics of this experiment are: When use this system to provide the magnetization process the gasoline and the air with a frequency band of 4 KHz˜25 KHz, compared with the No-treatment results, the different magnetization processes have shown changes of fuel combustion ratios and fuel saving ratios. We also found that the “Negative potential type magnetization treatment” to gasoline had improved the fuel combustion ratios most obviously! And the Negative potential type magnetization treatment” could also reduce the harmful emissions of Carbon monoxides (CO) and Hydrocarbon (HC) most efficiently. The AC current used in the test to provide Negative Potential (− ZETA Potential) to gasoline and air had single frequency or time-variation frequency. The results show:

Test conditions and method of Embodiment 2:
The results in table-2 shows that when the engine was at No-Treatment condition and the engine revolution was low, e.g. idling (700 RPM), the concentrations of hydrocarbon (HC) in tail gas was high. It means that the engine fuel has the incomplete combustion. At the same time, the concentrations of Nitric oxide (NO) and Carbon monoxide (CO) were also high. We found that the concentrations of HC, NO and CO would keep high level until the engine revolution reached 2000 RPM. The Oxygen Residue concentration would not decrease obviously either. This proves that when the engine RPM below 2000 in the presence of incomplete combustion phenomenon, therefore could not fully consume oxygen. On the contrary, when the engine revolution increased to 2000 rpm and above, the Oxygen residue in the exhaust gas began to be decreased. The engine began to combust the fuel completely, and the consumption of oxygen was also increased, nitric oxide (NO) concentration in the tail gas was reduced gradually, to close to 0. The reason for this phenomenon is more oxygen has been consumed in the combustion reaction. And there were much lesser oxidation residue could react with nitrogen. The engine could maintain an ideal air-fuel ratio, and achieved complete combustion. The 3-way catalysts could process the emissions efficiently. Amazingly, when we used the invention system to provide Negative-magnetization treatments to fuel and air, no matter how the engine rpm is, the harmful emissions (CO, HC, NO) concentrations in the exhaust gas were drastically reduced! And it is not difficult to find a high power (5 W) Negative-potential treatment presented best Complete Combustion performance! It shows that in the cylinders, the Air/fuel detonation reaction were very close to complete combustions! With the help of the 3-way catalysts, the harmful substances have been effectively controlled. The daily driving conditions of motor cars in cities, are normally the repeated cycle of “Start-Run-Stop”, the city-driving speed is generally below 50˜60 km/h, the engine revolution is basically around 1500 rpm. Therefore, this driving condition is very easy to cause fuel incomplete combustions and release harmful substances in the automobile tail gas, this will cause serious air pollution. However, as the table-2 has shown, with using the invention to provide Negative-treatment to the fuel and the air supplied to the engines, could effectively inhibit and reduce harmful substances in the exhaust gas! This will protect the environment from exhaust gas pollutions effectively.
From the results of table-3, we can find that when used premium gasoline, if did not use the magnetization treatment of this invention to the fuel and the Air, the Nitric oxide (NO) concentration in the exhaust gas would increase sharply when the engine's RPM is above 1500 rpm. The premium gasoline has higher octane value and the combustion temperatures are higher than that of using regular gasoline. And the natural gasoline and the air molecules carrying Positive (+) potentials, all these conditions would increase the possibilities of the reaction between Nitrogen (N2) and the Oxygen, to create Nitrogen Oxide (NO). However, when used this invention's magnetization treatments to fuel and air, no matter the RPM of the engine was high or low, the Nitrogen Oxide (NO) in the exhaust gas shown lower levels. This was because that the fuel could achieve complete combustion and consumed almost all the Oxygen in the air. The Nitrogen could not be mass oxidized without enough. But the data in table-3 also shows that the control of the magnetization treatment strength is necessary! If the magnetization treatment strength to the organic fuel were too high, we would not get the best Emission-cut performance. The table-3 shows that the Emission-cut of the 5 W treatment has performed worse than that of 1 W treatment. And we need to declare that in this test, there was a sampling failure when taking exhaust gas sample from the untreated-engine at 600 rpm.
The data of table-4 also shows the similar results as well as that of table-3. When the engine was at untreated (Normal) condition, the lower the RPM was, the lower the fuel combustion efficiency dropped, the higher the hydrocarbon (HC) concentration in the exhaust gas. Only when the engine rpm was above 2000 rpm, the engine could basically achieve a complete combustion. However, when used this invention's system to provide magnetization to fuel and air, it could make the engine achieve the complete combustion. Then the Nitric oxide (NO) and the Hydrocarbons (HC) emissions were also reduced almost to zero. Interestingly, when we increased the magnetizing treatment power, the Nitric oxide concentration was increased while the engine revolution was over 1500 rpm, but the concentration of hydrogen carbide (HC) didn't increase! We can speculate, nitric oxide produced by high engine speed is due to nitrogen oxidation temperature of combustion in the combustion chamber exorbitant, rather than due to the incomplete combustion.
There was a operational error in this test, when the test staff was testing “untreated (Normal)” state of the engine, he forget to turn off the Generator Unit (See 3 of
From the data of table-2˜table-5, we could find that if a normal gasoline engine's revolution could not reach a certain high RPM, it would be very hard to reduce the harmful emissions (hydrocarbons, nitrous oxide) in its exhaust gas. However, by using the invention system to provide electromagnetic processing to the fuel and the air, the harmful emissions in the exhaust gas could be cutoff sharply from a very low RPM revolution to high RPM condition. The phenomenon would be that the concentration of ‘hydrocarbon (HC, generated by incomplete combustion) were reduced to almost 0 ppm. The Nitric oxide can also be reduced to almost 0 ppm. Usually a fuel complete combustion will increase the nitric oxide (NO) concentration due to the higher combustion temperature. But our test results have shown that with using the Invention System's magnetization process could reduce the Nitrogen Oxide (NO) by improve the complete combustion ratio of the fuels. The results also shown that the oxygen concentration in the tail gas also has been reduced! The inventor conjectured that the combustions of the “Magnetized Air/Fuel Mixture” that processed by the invention system, could achieve Complete Combustion (Ideal Combustion) much easier than the No-treated Fuel and Air mixtures. And the complete combustions would consume most of the oxygen in the air for ‘burning the fuel’, this would reduce the oxidation reaction of Nitrogen. Also, the Oxygen and the Nitrogen molecules carrying the same Negative (−) phase potentials that charged by the Invention System's Coil Modules, the Intermolecular repulsion oxygen and nitrogen molecules also perform “Electric Buffering” to disturb the Nitrogen molecules from Oxidation. At the same moment, the reducing of CO in the exhaust gas also proved that this invention system could promote the engine to achieve complete combustion effect at low speed conditions.
Although there are great differences between people's driving habits, but our daily drives (urban and low speed, especially traffic jams) would release harmful pollutants is an indisputable truth. The data of table-2˜table-5 have shown that by using of the appropriate magnetization of fuel and air (mandatory with negative potential) processing, can effectively improve fuel combustion efficiency of the car engines, and can effectively inhibit the harmful substances produced by incomplete combustion in our daily driving (“Staring→driving at a speed of 50 km to 60 km→Stopping” cycle).
Table-6 table-7, table-8 showing the test results in winter condition (Humidity 15%, 2 degrees Celsius). The test methods were as same as that have been used in the test of Table-2˜table-5. The magnetization treatment system was used was also the systems shown in
Compared with the results of table 2˜5 it is found that the test results in table-6˜8 were not ideal! Obviously the humidity (moisture) affected the electromagnetic process effects to the air and the fuel. The reason may be because the percentage of the water molecules in the air and the fuel was too low. This reduced the Negative potential carriers in the Air/Fuel mixtures treated by the invention system. The lack of the Negative Potentials in the combustion chamber could not perform enough Potential Repulsions between the molecules and the cylinder inner wall. The inventor is still tracking test, especially the various vehicles and ships of the mainland China. Many efforts are being continued to achieve the stable and constant Energy saving and emission cut performance.

By using the Invention's Electromagnetic Treatments to the liquid fuel (Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, Alcohol fuels, Liquefied natural gas, LPG) could change the Phase Boundary Potential (Or ZETA Potential) of fuels from Positive (+) to Negative (−)! This technology could increase the fuel's complete combustion ratios significantly in an engine (internal, external combustion engine and gas turbines). By using this invention system could improve the engine's output performances with the same fuel consumption ratio as before, and could also save the fuel consumption while keep the engine to run the same condition. This invention system could save the energies and reduce the Greenhouse gas and the harmful emissions released by combusting organic fuels (carbon hydrogen, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon particles) due to incomplete combustion of the fuel and produce, effectively prevent air pollution and public nuisance disease.
