The Next Step

                                                      

 

            Revisiting the use of home heating fuel in a conventional boiler previously, leads us to the conclusion that a more efficient extraction of energy could be through "burning" the diesel in a genset. However, as a diesel internal combustion engine, it is as prone to particulate emissions and an equal contributor to acid rain production as a boiler is, since it pollutes our atmosphere with the same combustion products from burning fuel, although the boiler has substantially lower energy conversion efficiency.

 

 

Ways to extract more energy

 

1) Generate electricity with the fuel combustion by "Burning" it in a diesel motor hooked up as an AC power plant. (A 100% increase in energy efficiency)

 

2) Generate even more electricity by improving the fuel efficiency of the motor. (25% + more torque)

 

3) Achieve a much more efficient heat extraction. (95% + heat extraction)

 

4) Further utilizing all applicable science to the utmost. During preliminary testing of the "Steam Assisted Internal Combustion Engine Adaptation", it was discovered that the water 'disassociated' to its preliminary elements of hydrogen and oxygen. (Increasing the energy released by 100%)

 

          My starting point for investigating this, is right where and when the explosion energy is released, in the combustion chamber of the engine. When immediately after the ignition of the fuel/air charge, and during the resulting explosion, that all of the heat is released. It is at this very time, while the fuels’ energy is in its’ transitory “release” phase, before it has been absorbed bythe cooling system or exported down the exhaust to our atmosphere, that it is most effectively influenced.

 

          To cause an effect in parallel to the engines role of producing torque from the explosion of the fuel/air mixture would require a separate, additional and subsequent explosion.

 

          Although the detonation energy from the fuel has already dissipated, the heat energy from the combustion is available and is further harnessed to cause another explosion on the piston. Accomplishing this by injecting a precisely metered amount of water into the cylinder during the time the fuel charge is exploding and exerting its force. The water in the cylinder now absorbs the heat energy and then explodes to steam immediately after the 'crank' of the motor has driven to 90 degrees after 'top dead center'. This provides the subsequent “steam” explosion and is the the required "additional explosion" that increases the torque energy result by 25% out of the same amount of fuel.

 

          Remembering that the fuel usually produces only the first explosion and its’ work, this is 25% more work done is free. (Applies to 2)

 

          The exhaust is made up of the products of the motor fuel combustion and saturated with the steam from the second explosion, so it still contains most of the heat originally released.

 

          Extracting the heat for home heating through a heat exchanger, results in condensing the water vapor out of the exhaust which causes the (steam) water to absorb all of the same “Green House Gases” (GHGs’) that Acid Rain does while falling through our earths’ atmosphere. In this case, though, the system will scrub the exhaust gases much more effectively of its’ pollutants, since they are still in confinement and due to that are in higher concentration. Cooling the exhaust to near room temperature while doing this will increase the heat extraction efficiency to about 98%. (Applies to 3)

 

A discovered bonus

 

          Because of the way, an internal combustion engine burns fuel, it allows for a unique principle of science to be applied to it also. Namely, the water molicule will dissasociate to it primary components under high temperature and high pressure.

Both conditions are present in the motor cylinder, and when this happens with water in there too, disassociation occurs which causes abundant oxygen to be available for the hydrocarbon explosion, causing the carbon combustion to become much more rapid (instintaneous) and complete. This results in a further 100% increase in energy release and fuel efficiency. Refer to the "Why water burns page on this web site for the chemistry. The following chart also graphicaly shows the results of direct water injection (Applies to 4)

Totaling an increase of over 300%, in fuel efficiency compared to the atomizing fuel boiler.

 

            98% sensible heat extraction efficiency (The boiler

                    heated one house @ 80%efficiency)

           100% motor fuel torque efficiency in electricity 

                    production and add on,

          100% increase in energy release through “Complete Combustion”

                    of the fuel due to the now available oxygen, plus a

            25% more torque realized through the contribution

                    from the steam energy, and the total is a whopping;

 

            323% increase in fuel efficiency!  

 

In summery, the increase in fuel efficiency from the fuel boiler, to the generator system is 100% (heating two houses). From the regular generator to the "Green Generator", it further more than doubles the systems electrical output, (heating three houses) and so the total yield is an amazing, 323% better "Heating fuel Efficiency" than in the original 'Fuel Boiler'.

   Total energy from 1 gallon = 3 houses heated for 4 hours

Just think;    
 
With one gallon of fuel the "Green Generator" will not only heat three houses but eliminate all of the soot and most of the air pollution.  
 
     The most important part of the process (Eliminateing air pollution) is an unavoidable part of the system function as it increases the fuel efficiency.
