Hydrocarbon fuel modification device and a method for improving the combustion characteristics of hydrocarbon fuels
First Claim
1. A fuel modification device for improving the combustion of an hydrocarbon fuel, comprising;
- a casing having an inlet fitting, an outlet fitting and a flow axis between said inlet fitting and said outlet fitting;
said casing enclosing a plurality of catalytic pellets held in layers by at least two spaced-apart Monel screens positioned perpendicularly relative to said flow axis,at least one of said catalytic pellets containing by weight 2-7% bismuth; and
at least one magnet positioned adjacent to and without touching, one of said Monel screens, said magnet containing at least one element from a group of elements comprising strontium and barium,whereby when said fuel is adapted to flow through said casing and when said fuel contains water, an electrolytic action is generated through said fuel between said Monel screen and said magnet for breaking said water content into oxygen and hydrogen radicals of said water content.

Abstract
A fuel modification device comprising a casing having an inlet fitting, an outlet fitting and a flow axis between the inlet fitting and the outlet fitting. The casing encloses a plurality of catalytic pellets held in layers by at least two spaced-apart Monel screens positioned perpendicularly relative to the flow axis. The casing also encloses at least one magnet positioned adjacent to and without touching, one of the Monel screens. The magnet contains at least one element from a group of elements comprising strontium and barium. The catalytic pellets comprises the following composition percentages by weight: 2-7% bismuth; 3-7% mercury; 70-80% tin; and 15-25% antimony. There is further provided a method for treating hydrocarbon fuel within the device wherein an electrolytic action is caused to occur between the fuel and the magnet for causing some of the oxygen molecules in the water impurities to separate from the fuel impurities and to bond to the hydrocarbon molecules as oxygenates. There is also provided a method for freeing radicals of hydrogen from the water impurities and for causing some of the radicals of hydrogen to join hydrocarbon chains within the fuel for forming new and shorter hydrocarbon chains.

21. A method for improving the combustion characteristics of hydrocarbon fuels containing water impurities, said method comprising the steps of:
-
immersing in said fuel a first catalytic composition comprising bismuth, mercury, tin and antimony; immersing in said fuel a first magnet containing at least one element from a group of elements comprising strontium and barium; immersing in said fuel at proximity but without touching said first magnet a metallic alloy member comprising copper and nickel; flowing said fuel over said catalytic composition, over said alloy member and over said magnet; causing an electrolytic action to occur in said fuel; causing some hydrocarbon molecules in said fuel to become ionized; causing some oxygen radicals in said fuel impurities to bond to said hydrocarbon molecules as oxygenates. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
