OXIDES
OF NITROGEN AND MAGNETIZER FUEL TREATMENT
One
of the main components of photochemical smog is nitric oxide or.
to be more precise, oxides of nitrogen; oxygen depending on heat
and pressure can form in differing combinations with nitrogen
other than the specific nitric oxide formula. Nitric oxide
is a colorless gas produced by high temperature combustion;
however, when it encounters extra oxygen in the presence of air
and sunlight it readily converts to nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
Nitrogen dioxide is the reddish brown haze that we associate
with smog. The formula for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) looks
quite similar to the formula for carbon dioxide, but we must
bear in mind that carbon dioxide can not 'support combustion
while nitrogen dioxide can. Nitrogen dioxide is very
poisonous since the threshold lethal volume (TLV) is 3 ppm,
while carbon dioxide still classified as poisonous@,as a TLV of
5,000 ppm, while carbon monoxide's TLV is 50 ppm. It is
quite shocking to know that nitrogen dioxide is the major
component of smog and is proximately 16 times more poisonous
than carbon monoxide. As one can readily ap
see,
the reduction of nitrogen dioxide in our atmosphere is of
paramount,importance. The peculiar problem in designing
engines for air pollution is in order to fully- burn all the
hydrocarbons in the combustion cyli-n--der, operating
temperatures of the cylinders have had to be increased.. While
older engines may have produced relatively large quantities of
unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, they produced low
quantities of oxides of nitrogen. Also, with the renewed
interest in performance engines. compression ratios are creeping
upward again, and once again the mechanism for producing higher
levels of nitrogen toxins is increased. Similarly, turbo
charging effectively alters the compression ratio of a vehicle,
further adding to the nitrogen problem.
It
is most disturbing that automobile makers as well as clean air
legislators have not been concerned about this growing problem.
State emissions inspection stations aren't concerned. The
lack of concern is that the basic issue has not been addressed
as oneof the major problems.
Now,
there is available a technologically sound means for reducing
the "oxides of nitrogen" problem. The solution
is the MAGNETIZER. As documented by tests, 'the magnetic
treatment of fuel has reduced the production of NOx by 20% and
more. One of the chief reasons is due to the low
reactivity of nitrogen gas. If we,can bind up all the
available oxygen with the hydrocarbon fuel, there simply will be
no oxygen left over to form the unwanted nitrogen compounds.
It appears that magnefic@treatment is the simplest means of
achieving this feat. As documented by numerous state
certified emissions tests, MAGNETIZER fuel treatment has shown
decreases in unburned hydrocarbon by 75-100% and carbon monoxide
reductions of 90-100%. Stoichiometrically, there is very,
little oxygen left to produce any additional toxic
compounds with nitrogen.
The
following is a partial list of universities, institutes and
government bodies that have produced their findings regarding
the effects of magnetism on liquids, primarily water and fuels.

Magnets
were also fitted to all the locomotives and other fuel consumers
at a steel mill. However this mill (Bethlehem Steel) has
shut down and contact has been lost with the maintenance
superintendent.
A
Canadian mine wanted reduce the volume of fresh air required to
maintain a safe atmosphere underground. This atmosphere
was being contaminated by several diesel engine powered
equipment. All engines were equipped with magnets and this
reduced the exhaust emissions by approximately 3 1 %. Fuel
consumption specifically was not of interest in this case but it
is accepted that if the HC, CO, C02 and NOX dropped, fuel
consumption would also have been reduced.
March
1997, Asia: After an extensive 3 year demonstration, 50
locomotives fitted with Magnetizer magnetic assemblies averaged
fuel savings of 6.2% (18 litres/hr) while running up to 120
km/hr. After speed increased to 160 @ during last three
months of twelve month demonstration, average fuel savings were
4.4% (13 litres/hr). Cooling systems were now capable of
handling increased thermal load. Magnetizer magnets fitted
to heating boilers and domestic water systems of passenger
coaches - virtually no scale present at I year inspection.
1997/98
- Several US Navel ships fitted with Magnetizer assemblies
specifically to reduce carbon deposits within diesel engine
combustion spaces. Magnetizer assemblies also fitted to
sea water cooling systems to control/remove marine growth and
scale deposits. Both projects were deemed very successful
by on board navy personnel.
The
Magnetizer product line consists of over 20 different units.
All of them have both design and utility patents issued from the
U. S Patent office and many foreign country patent o. - @ices.
Although
the magnetic treatment of water (especially) and other liquids
is not new (the turn of the 19'h century), it has greatly
improved in the last 20 years. This is owing to the advent
of man made magnetic alloys and the practice of utilising
mono-pole only magnets to achieve the desired effects. |
