A non-ring, non-alkene, nitrated n-alkane base scaffold combined with at least one trioxynitrate provides a differentiated-mean combustive performance in a stabilized and sufficiently polar molecule as to be miscible, and thus serve as a high-energy-density component of a fuel additive that, when mixed with existing fuels at appropriate dilution ratios, will impart equivalent combustive efficiency to that of standardized, petroleum distillate, gasoline and diesel in various blends including aviation fuel and heating oil over the full-temperature-range of use; and a specific embodiment of this non-ring, non-alkene nitrated n-alkane base scaffold is described which, when blended with a petroleum diesel, biodiesel, or combination of B-20 standard biodiesel (80% diesel, 20% biodiesel) wherein the additive comprises less than 5% of the total mix, produces at least a 10% or greater combustive energy density as compared to the base fuel.
Liquid Methanol Fuel Production From Methane Gas At Bio-Normal Temperatures And Presure
Through staged and monitored control of gas, liquid, and solid source materials, the highly-efficient enzymatic ‘natural factory’ of specific methanotropic bacteria, which evolved dual, alternative, metabolic channels, can be manipulated for human goals. The first stage sets these bacteria to producing liquid methanol by oxidation of methane gas under aerobic conditions (their high-energy channel), which is harvested at the peak. The second stage, by establishing anaerobic conditions and providing supplementary metals, forces the bacteria to use their lower-energy channel for inorganic hydrogen-donor to organic-energy-transport, during which the older and weaker organisms become ‘food’ for newer and (relatively) stronger organisms. This accomplishes the desired result of liquid methanol production without employing a human-engineered industrial-chemical process with the costly high energy requirements associated with temperatures and pressures required by the prior art for converting methane gas to liquid methanol.
Synergistically-Reactive Synthetic Fuel That Enhances Mechanical Energy Output From Internal Combustion Engines
A fuel additive comprising a core polar material blended with a stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture, which pairing is further combined with a base combustive fuel, to form a synthetic fuel that, in an internal combustion engine, releases and combines combustive and detonative potential energy so as to produce more effective torque on the engine's drive piston than can be obtained from combustion alone. The base combustive fuel's heat energy not used to work the IC engine synergistically powers the fuel additive's solvation and detonative or explosive endothermic reactions.
