Abstract
Fuel activation apparatus for use in the pretreatment of fuel that is to be mixed with air for burning in combustion engines and the like. Fuel within a dielectric carrier is subjected through use of a field coil or other means to pulsed energy from an oscillator or other source at a frequency in a range corresponding to resonant frequencies for the molecular components of the fuel, the constituent elements of the fuel or protons of such elements. For fuels having a hydrogen constituent, operation in a frequency range of 16 to 42 Mega Hertz is suggested. For fuels having other inclusions, the operating frequency range may be expanded to include the nuclear resonance frequency for such components.
Claims12
Activation apparatus for the pretreatment of fuel that is to be combined with oxygen for burning in an exothermic reaction process comprising a power source, a pulsed energy output component connected to said power source and providing radio frequency energy in a frequency range corresponding to a nuclear resonance frequency for at least one elemental constituent of said fuel, an activator unit connected to said output component and disposed in position adjacent the movement path for said fuel to provide a zone of radio frequency interference at frequencies within said frequency range, and means for moving said fuel through said interference zone for the activation thereof prior to its intermixture with oxygen for use in said reaction process.
