Technology - How it works

Causing hydrocarbon fuel to burn more efficiently by passing it through the energy transfer module (ETM) works by energy exchange at the molecular level.

Hydrogen atoms, along with carbon atoms are the basic elements of fuel and are the molecules affected by energy exchange inside the ETM.

These atoms are made up of one proton in the nucleus and one electron, which orbits the nucleus. This single electron, because it is not paired with another in its orbit around the nucleus, is known in basic chemistry as a "free" electron. A free electron can more easily change from one orbiting level around the nucleus to another with the application of an outside energy force. Increasing the energy of the orbiting electron allows chemical reactions involving the molecule to proceed more efficiently. (See sidebar -->)

The process is similar to photosynthesis-the chemical reaction that takes place in plants in order to make them grow. During photosynthesis, light provides the outside energy source to increase the energy of the atom's electrons in order to start the chemical reactions required. Without sunlight, the plant's atoms do not have enough energy for those reactions, and the plant will not flourish.

In a similar manner, the ETM provides the outside energy source to boost the energy of hydrogen's electrons, increasing the efficiency of the chemical reaction of combustion.

The resultant more efficient combustion burns more of the fuel better, producing increased mileage for less fuel, more engine power and a more complete burn of elements, producing less residue to be sent through the exhaust eystem as harmful emissions.

In addition, when passing through the ETM, carbon atoms are also altered into a form that no longer "sticks". That is, the crystallization of the carbon changes from a structure like ice, that is hard to chip away, into a structure more ike snow, that can be easily brushed aside. This reduces carbon build-up in the engine and cleans away carbon that might already be built up in an older engine.
