eco-fuel technology catalyst

The Eco Fuel Technology Catalyst (EFTC) is a patented, inexpensive device thatleverages basic scientific principles to remove fossil fuel emissions, increase engineperformance, and enhance fuel economy. The EFTC takes a relatively unsophisticatedapproach – by burning a higher amount of fuel in the engine, performance is increased,efficiency is improved, and fewer pollutants are released. While the automotiveindustry and government have stated fuel efficiency will increase as technologyadvances, vehicles have shown less than a 5% increase in miles per gallon in the past60 years. The EFTC uses commonly-found minerals, electro-magnets, and relativelysimple scientific principles to manipulate the physical structure of fossil fuels toenhance performance. The byproducts of this process are that 60-99% of harmfulemissions are removed, fuel efficiency is increased, as well as overall engine life andperformance is increased. Reduced emissions were not the original intent of thedevice.

The EFTC was initially designed based on theories and studies presented by LinusPaulding’s study of minerals and applying those concept to a magnetic force field andelectrical current (AC).

In simplest principle, if you introduce minerals to an electromagnetic field using basicceramic magnets, you can increase the vibrational force that is necessary to break thebonds of the molecules in the fuel source. By breaking down the bonds of the fuel, theengine can burn a substantially higher percentage of fuel, thus having greater performance. In past studies, it has been stated that a perfectly tuned engine onlyburns 68-95% of the fuel in receives; the percentage not burned is given off asemissions and particulates.

what does the eftc actually do?

In simplest terms, the EFTC assists in achieving Perfect Combustion.

Perfect balanced mixing of all components is referred to as stoichiometriccombustion. Complete combustion of a fuel is possible only in the presence of anadequate supply of oxygen. Oxygen (O2) is one of the most common elements onearth making up 20.9% of our air.

Most of the 79% of air (that is not oxygen) is nitrogen, with traces of other elements. Nitrogen is considered to be a temperature reducing dilutant that must be

present to obtain the oxygen required for combustion. Nitrogen reduces combustionefficiency by absorbing heat from the combustion of fuels and diluting the fluegases. This nitrogen also can combine with oxygen (particularly at high flametemperatures) to produce oxides of nitrogen (NOx), which are toxic pollutants.

Unfortunately, combustion is not perfect so we get carbon monoxide (CO) and oxidesof nitrogen (NOx) with water (H2O) being a by-product of combustion. In fact, there

is almost a pound of water created for every pound of fuel oil burned.

Sulfur is a component of most fuel oil and it is oxidized to sulfur dioxide (SO2) or sulfur trioxide (SO3). These sulfur products can combine with water to producesulfuric acid. Measurement of CO2 is the normal method to determine the efficiencyof combustion. Perfect combustion of number 2 fuel oil produces 15.3% CO2 byvolume of dry flue gasses, however the actual CO2 percentage in most engines willbe somewhat less than this number.

Because of the EFTC’s design, the fuel compound is broken down due to an electro-magnetic field. In doing so, the fuel is broken down to a molecular level, and more of the molecules are consumed in the combustion process. For example, if you take amatch to a large piece of wood, it will not burn quickly or easily. However, if you havewood particles such as sawdust, and you take a match to it, it will quickly ignite andburn. The EFTC’s principles are the same in regards to its breakdown of the fuelentering into an engine.

benefits of the eftc

Because the hydrocarbon bond has been significantly broken down, much lower emissions are achieved because the elements are consumed by the combustion of fuel; the presence of smoke is non-existent. The presence of fumes or odors of adiesel or gasoline engine are also significantly reduced. As a result of a much lower level of soot bypass and lower amounts of hydrocarbons, there is less wear on movingparts and the oil remains cleaner and requires less changes. This process increasesoverall engine performance and requires less routine service. Engine parts last longer and the cost of maintenance/replacement is reduced.

The cleaner fuel increases horse power, vehicle efficiency, and reduces harmfulemissions. The byproducts from combustion engines are high levels of CO, CO2, NOx,SOx, and other harmful hydrocarbons. With the EFTC, Carbon Monoxide is eliminatedby 60 to 99%. The bonds of hydrocarbons are significantly reduced to levels well belowmany mandates for reduction of hydrocarbons. NO2, SO2, and CO are greatlyreduced, and in some instances are almost zero with regard to CO (Carbon Monoxide).Results may vary slightly depending on vehicle.

cost savings of the eftc

The EFTC provides energy (fuel) savings without sacrificing performance. Privatevehicle owners, businesses, State and local agencies, and the military couldpurchase the EFTC to retrofit existing vehicles to reduce fuel consumption andcosts. The EFTC with a 35% fuel savings on a 23.2 mpg gasoline engine, after retrofit would meet EPA’s 35.7 mpg 2020 standard.

The following tables show the ability of the EFTC to pay for its costs in fuelsavings based on vehicles averaging 15,000 miles per year and an EFTC fuelefficiency of 25% and 35%.



in the united states

In 2006 the United States consumed 99,875 trillion Btu’s of energy at a total$1,157,910 million cost dollar or $3,876 per person. Due to the recession andincreased energy conservation awareness, by 2008 the United States total energyconsumption declined 0.005 to 99.304 trillion Btu’s. During 2008 fossil fuel comprised84% of total US 2008 fuel consumption followed by nuclear power – (8.5%) andrenewable energy (7.3%). Petroleum, natural gas and coal represented 37.4%; 24%;and 22.6% of fossil fuel consumption. Motor gasoline was the single largestpetroleum product consumed in the United States comprising 46% of all petroleumconsumed. Energy projections 2006 through 2030 projects coal and liquid fuelsleading increases in primary energy use, growing by 0.7 percent per year. Fossil fuelswill account for 55% of the increase. The transportation sector accounted for 66% (+)and the industrial sector 25% of all liquid fuel consumption in 2006. Demand for liquidfuels will increase by 17% in the transportation sector and decrease by 21% in theindustrial sector during this period. Source US Dept. of Energy – Annual Energy

Outlook 2008.

As the demand for energy consumption grows, Federal programs and initiatives to

reduce dependence on foreign oil and to reduce green house emissions are creatingmarkets for new energy technologies. “The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) and the Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) are finalizing a joint rule to establish a national program

consisting of new standards for model year 2012 through 2016 light-duty vehicles that

will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy. EPA is finalizing

the first-ever national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards under the Clean

Air Act, and NHTSA is finalizing Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards

under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The new standards apply to new passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles, covering

model years 2012 through 2016. The EPA GHG standards require these vehicles to

meet an estimated combined average emissions level of 250 grams of carbon dioxide

(CO2) per mile in model year 2016, equivalent to 35.5 miles per gallon (mpg) if the

automotive industry were to meet this CO2 level all through fuel economy

improvements.” – EPA Website.

While the EU has taken important steps in regards to the emissions of futurevehicles, it does not address the issue of vehicles currently in circulation, whether passenger cars, light-duty trucks, heavy trucks, buses, or trains. Due to thecurrent global economic downturn, countries, municipalities, organizations, andindividuals do not have the necessary capital to acquire new vehicles and mostvehicle manufacturers are working on ways to improve future products, not correctthe problems of pre-existing vehicles already purchased and in-use. With nocapital available for investment, it is nearly impossible for these emissions goalsto be reached in a timely manner.

Global necessity and EU legislation has created a market by force – there is nolonger a question of if a problem exists but a question of how the problem can becorrected.



military use of the eftc

• The Department of Defense (DoD) is the single largest consumer of fuel in the UnitedStates.

• ―In Fiscal Year 2005, DoD consumed roughly 125 million barrels of oil—approximately 1.2% of the nation’s total. About 74% of that was used to power mobility vehicles — Air Force aircraft, Navy ships, and Army ground vehicles‖

(Blackwell 2007a:1).

• The Congressional Research Service (CRS) found that 74% of the energy consumedby DoD is used to power its mobility vehicles. ―Fuel costs, although less than 3% of the total DoD budget, have a significant impact on the department’s operating costs.

For every $10 increase in the price of a barrel of oil, DoD’s operating costs increaseby approximately $1.3 billion‖ (Blackwell 2007b: 2).

• This makes clear the necessity of lowering costs and increasing efficiency in militaryenergy usage. The Department of Defense intends on doing this through the use of alternative energy sources, both for military vehicles as well as barracks and other buildings. Today, the greatest use of alternative energy by the armed forces comesfrom sources that do not require a change to the structure of the vehicle, such asbiofuel, nuclear energy, and decreasing demand. The challenges arise when

attempting to implement new sources that decrease environmental harm, butcurrently have an underdeveloped industry, like synthetic fuel, wind power, fuel cells,and solar power.

• The EFTC provides the military with a way to (1) drastically reduce fuel consumptionand (2) reduce vehicle emissions without the expenditure of developing a procuringnew vehicles or engines.

• New mandates require DoD to consume less fuel

•

Use of the EFTC could astronomically reduce the US military's fuel costs by 30-60%.
