  • Publication number: 20100120608
    Abstract: A combination of metal catalysts are independently introduced to a fuel oil to enhance and improve the combustibility of the fuel oil and to adjust in real time the ratio of the metal catalyst mixture to the quality and/or quantity of the fuel oil. This combination of ionic metal catalysts may also be utilized to improve a low grade fuel oil to a higher grade fuel source while reducing the pollutants and minimizing the fuel related damage potential to the engine. The primary combination of metals includes Platinum, Indium, Rhodium, Aluminum and Rhenium in an adjustable ratio, with the ratio being variable depending on the fuel source and quantity. Chemicals and catalysts selected are utilized as molecular ions whose decomposition results in the form most effective to combustion.

  • Publication number: 20040255874
    Abstract: Method for reducing pollution emissions and increasing fuel economy for carbon-based combustion processes. Embodiments of the invention comprise combinations of an airborne catalyst blend with various fuel and/or oil filters to produce unexpected efficiency results. A full system includes a fuel purifier, a microfine fuel filter, and/or a bypass oil filter in combination with an airborne catalyst blend dispenser or a catalyst/fuel mixture. Methods of filtering fuel and/or oil prior to burning fuel in the presence of an airborne catalyst blend also improve fuel economy and reduce pollution emissions for carbon-based combustion processes.
