Magnetic Platinum Catalyst and Method of Making and its Application as an Engine Fuel Enhancer

A method of making a magnetic platinum catalyst having a body, comprising the steps of:

• a. making a catalyst acid soaking solution comprises the steps of:
• i. dissolving 6 grams of H2PtCl6(H2PtCl6.6H20) and 4 grams of RhCl3(RhCl3.3H20) into 1000 ml of water;
• ii. adjusting the pH of said solution to 4 with oxalic acid;
• iii. allowing said solution to settle for about 2 hours;
• iv. stirring said solution for about 10 minutes;
• v. heating said solution to about 70° C.;
• b. making a catalyst carrier comprises the steps of:
• i. using powder metallurgy to form a neutral neodymium magnetic alloy containing about 39% neodymium into a catalyst carrier;
• ii. making said catalyst carrier into a cylinder with a diameter of about 13 mm and a length of about 9 mm;
• c. making the body for the magnetic platinum catalyst having a surface, comprises the steps of:
• i. soaking said catalyst carrier in said catalyst acid soaking solution for 15 hours;
• ii. draining said catalyst carrier from said solution;
• iii. baking said catalyst carrier in an oven for about 20 minutes at a temperature of about 75-80° C.;
• d. cooling said body to room temperature;
• e. baking said body in a muffle furnace for 3 hours at a temperature of about 390° C.;
• f. turning off the muffle furnace and waiting for the temperature to cool down to below 50° C.;
• g. removing said body from said muffle furnace;
• h. electro-plating the surface of said body with a layer of nickel, a layer of copper and another layer of nickel, wherein each said electro-plating layer is about 0.006-0.01 mm thick;
• i. magnetizing said body using a magnetizer.
