A Solution to Air Pollution
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"In the wake of the energy-crisis a 50-year-old British-born
|
||
|
|
inventor named Eric Cottell has come up with an ingeniously simple
|
||
|
|
and economically practical solution -- one that is now exciting
|
||
|
|
industry and government officials alike.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"In the conventional combustion process, fuel is combined with air
|
||
|
|
and turned. The result is carbon dioxide, water vapor and heavy
|
||
|
|
oxides of nitrogen, which are a prime cause of chemical smog.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cottell reasoned that if water could largely replace air as a source
|
||
|
|
of oxygen in combustion, this would avoid the large amounts of
|
||
|
|
nitrogen introduced by the air -- and thus eliminate much of the
|
||
|
|
noxious nitrogen oxides.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"To accomplish this, he turned to a device he had patented 22 years
|
||
|
|
ago -- an ultrasonic reactor that emulsifies heavy liquids and is
|
||
|
|
widely used today to prepare such products as Worcestershire sauce,
|
||
|
|
ketchup, cosmetics and paint.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By refining the reactor, Cottell was able to break water into
|
||
|
|
particles about one fifty-thousandth of an inch in diameter and to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
disperse them evenly in oil (or gasoline) to create an emulsion
|
||
|
|
that was 70 percent oil and 30 percent water. When this emulsion
|
||
|
|
was burned, Cottell found :
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) that there were far fewer waste products and
|
||
|
|
(2) that the small water droplets expand on heating, then
|
||
|
|
explode into steam, in turn shattering the oil into even
|
||
|
|
finer particles, and thus increasing the surface area of
|
||
|
|
the fuel exposed for burning.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Last month Cottell divided his time between Washington, in talks
|
||
|
|
with officials of the Federal Energy Office, and Detroit, where he
|
||
|
|
consulted with engineers working to meet the tight 1976 automobile-
|
||
|
|
emission requirements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So far, auto tests have shown that with an ultrasonic reactor
|
||
|
|
attached to a carburetor, a car can get almost DOUBLE the normal
|
||
|
|
miles per gallon of gasolinge -- with neglible exhausts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cottell's company, Tymponic Corp. of Long Island, N.Y., is also
|
||
|
|
about to produce units for home oil burners that will be no larger
|
||
|
|
than a flashlight and cost $100 to $150.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Last winter, two Long Island schools converted to Cottell's system,
|
||
|
|
and both reduced their fuel usage by about 25%. Adelphi University
|
||
|
|
reports that it SAVED more than 3,500 gallons of oil per week! --
|
||
|
|
and REDUCED soot output by 98 PERCENT."

Vangard Note...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This file points to a possibly useful technique for those
|
||
|
|
working with water dissociation for the purpose of hydrogen
|
||
|
|
fueled motors. The smaller the particle is, the less energy
|
||
|
|
required to dissociate into consecutively smaller units. This
|
||
|
|
is probably one of the inspirational sources used by Stan Meyers
|
||
|
|
for his "fractioning" process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ultrasonic generators can be both mechanical or electronic in
|
||
|
|
nature. Transducers can be easily purchased with resonant
|
||
|
|
frequencies ranging from 20KHZ to 40KHZ. Of course, that is
|
||
|
|
simply where they are most efficient, they will still transmit
|
||
|
|
other frequencies just as any speaker will.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the greatest dangers in relation to hydrogen from water
|
||
|
|
is the need to store accumulated hydrogen in some container,
|
||
|
|
thus allowing the possibility of a "Highway Hindenburg." Any
|
||
|
|
method of hybrid method that would create hydrogen at a
|
||
|
|
sufficiently rapid rate, on demand, is far to be preferred.
