Estimating the term…
A system is provided for creating a high lubricity substance from a fuel while said fuel is being used to operate a mechanical device such as an engine, thereby increasing the lubricity the fuel and allowing the fuel to be used as a lubricant for various tribological surfaces inside the engine without the use of further additives or modifiers. In this regard, an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a device that has a first surface upon which is deposited a film. The first surface of the device and the associated film may be in continual contact with a fuel. The device may comprise a second surface that is brought into periodic and/or repeated contact with the first surface, such as through sliding contact, rolling contact, a combination of the two, and/or the like.
A method for generating high-lubricity substances for lubrication of a mechanical device, the method comprising:
A high lubricity substance comprising one or more allotropes of carbon wherein the high lubricity substance is generated on the surface of a film when the film is exposed to a hydrocarbon-based fluid.
A system for generating high-lubricity substances for lubrication of a mechanical device, the system comprising:
