Device and process for improving fuel consumption and reducing emissions upon fuel combustion

A device for treatment of a hydrocarbon or fossil fuel which is to be combusted in a combustion chamber to improve combustion of the fuel in the combustion chamber by turbulently treating the fuel with a plurality of fields of differing magnetic flux and subjecting the fuel to a field of differing standard electrochemical reduction potentials, said device being adapted to be connected in-line in a fuel supply line of the combustion chamber and comprising:

• a non-magnetic, elongate hollow tubular housing having a longitudinal axis, opposing inlet and outlet ends, a generally centrally located inlet aperture in said inlet end for receiving fuel and a generally centrally located outlet aperture in said outlet end for dispensing treated fuel;
• a plurality of longitudinally elongated magnets located in the housing on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis for contact with the fuel to be treated and providing a series of alternating fields of magnetic flux along the longitudinal;
• and
• at least two large surface area non-ferrous metal wool or screen materials of differing standard electrochemical reduction potentials in the housing, the metals being located along the longitudinal axis of the housing and between the magnets of the plurality of magnets and establishing a field of standard electrochemical reduction potential differential in the housing through which the fuel must flow.

• and
• a longitudinally extending first plurality of magnets located inside said housing and parallel to a first side of the longitudinal axis, a longitudinally extending second plurality of magnets located Inside said housing and parallel to and latitudinally spaced apart from the first set of magnets and located on a second and opposite side of the longitudinal axis, each magnet of said first and second plurality of magnets having a longitudinal pole face having a magnetic polarity for contact with the fuel to be treated;
• and the magnetic polarity of the longitudinal pole face of each magnet of the first and second plurality of magnets being of different magnetic polarity to the magnetic polarity of adjacent magnets in the respective first and second longitudinal plurality of magnets.

A process for treatment of a hydrocarbon or fossil fuel substantially immediately prior to introducing the fuel into a combustion chamber to break up negatively charged molecule clusters of the fuel and produce positively charged hydrocarbon units to improve combustion of the fuel, the process comprising passing the fuel into a non-magnetic elongated tubular housing having a longitudinal axis, an inlet at a first end, and an outlet at a second and opposite end of the longitudinal axis, and turbulently passing the fuel through the tubular housing in a manner such that the fuel is caused to:

• (1) pass through a series of alternating fields of magnetic flux located along the longitudinal axis of the housing such that the fuel is exposed to at least 50 square inches of opposing, facing magnetic pole faces of magnets contacting the fuel and providing said series of alternating fields of magnetic flux;
• and
• (2) contact and pass through at least two large surface area non-ferrous metal wool or screen materials of differing standard electrochemical reduction potentials in the housing;
• whereby said fuel has at least 0.5 seconds of residence time of exposure to the opposing magnetic pole faces of the magnets providing the series of alternating fields of magnetic flux and the two large surface area non-ferrous metal materials.
