Yes, that is a correct statement. Drive across country for just a few dollars in fuel cost and simultaneously, emit no greenhouse gases. That possibility definitely exists.

This is a Universal Energy Technology that NASA and Oak Ridge National Energy Lab have tested and documented for the Government, and verified as feasible and viable, but Washington has refused to recognize and/or accept it. The scientific principle exploited in this technology was to simply cavitate a very small air bubble and extract the energy.

A Fluid Rotary “Bubble Combustion” Engine.

No need for multiple alternative fuels, multiple engine designs and multiple service depots. No need for another heavy energy cost burden imposed on our people. One low-cost all purpose engine technology that is highly efficient and doesn’t emit any greenhouse gases.

Potential Engine Technology:

1.It is possible with this technology to build an engine less than the size of a basketball weighing less than 100 lbs. that does not use any form of fossil fuel and produces no emission. This engine would not only have the potential to power an automobile, but also, would have many other usage applications. Any type of unrefined farm produced grain oil like corn, soybean, peanut, etc. can be used in lieu of fossil fuel. We do not burn the oil. We burn a small air bubble entrained in the oil. The oil (fluid) simply acts as a carrier of the bubble.

2.Energy is produce by combusting a very small air bubble less than the size of a “BB”. It is scientifically known as producing energy through “Cavitation-Ignition Bubble Combustion (CIBC).” However, we have taken this combustion principle one step further by producing cavitation through a new emerging technology known as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition or HCCI for short.

3.No fossil fuel (foreign oil) is needed or required. (domestic or foreign oil can be used but not required). Any type of oil will do as the oil acts only as a carrier for the air bubble. Used vegetable oil from McDonalds is just fine, or even a slurry of oil and water mixture. This engine is compatible with the present service infrastructure as opposed to the Fuel Cell and many other alternative energy technologies being researched.

4.No carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, or sulfur dioxide gas is emitted into the air. These greenhouse gases are produced but are trapped and retained in the working fluid and can be removed through conventional chemical scrubber technologies.

5.No exotic materials are required. Many prototypes have been built and tested using standard specification materials.

6.The engine has only nine (9) moving parts. It is a rotating chamber having no spark plugs, overhead cams, radiators, carburetors, pistons, and many more complex components.

7.The engine is postulated to be in excess of 60% efficient.

8.The air bubble burns at an extremely high temperature. Since the bubble implodes, it burns internally, and therefore, being entrained in the working fluid, it is thermally insulated by the working fluid and does not affect the integrity of the metal. The engine can be down-sized without compromising its efficiency or power output.

9.It is possible to mass-produce this engine for less than $1,000 each, and run them for 150,000 - 200,000 miles.

10. This engine could very well be an excellent alternative to the fuel cell, hybrids, ethanol, methanol, or any of the other alternative energy solutions as it appears to be far more economical, easier to produce, cleaner burning, more compatible to the existing infrastructure, and universal in usage and application.

TECHNICAL EXPLANATION:

(This explanation was written by NASA. They conducted the tests on this engine for the Government. I will not print names for the sake of anonymity)

A Basic Explanation of Cavitation Ignition Bubble Combustion

”Cavitation-ignition bubble combustion (CIBC), or ‘bubble combustion’ for short is a process that occurs when a combustible gaseous mixture is ignited by the high temperatures found inside a rapidly collapsing bubble. A simple analogy of bubble combustion is the common diesel-cycle engine (although it is more closely related to the HCCI engine – see below). In diesel engines, air is heated by the rapid compression provided by the piston as it forces the air into smaller volume. Similarly, in bubble combustion, the collapsing bubble wall heats the gases within the bubble interior much like a diesel engine piston heats the air inside the cylinder during the compression stroke. However, the length scales in bubble combustion are very small, ranging from micrometers to nanometers, and the time scales are very brief, ranging from microseconds (10-6 seconds) to femtoseconds (10-15 seconds).

Furthermore, the walls of the bubble are provided by the liquid-gas interface, and the shape of the volume is spherical rather than cylindrical. At the point of maximum piston compression in a diesel engine, the gases reach their peak temperature and fuel is injected which then ignites and burns to release heat. The heat (or energy) in a diesel engine is then extracted from the expansion of the gases contained within the piston-cylinder volume. In bubble combustion, the situation is quite different in that the gases undergoing compression already contain both the oxidizer (air) and fuel vapor (evaporation from the bubble wall) in a mixture which ignites and then expands to augment the natural expansion the bubble after it has reached its point of minimum radius. In this way, bubble combustion is closer to an emerging new engine technology called homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines where the contents of cylinder-piston are premixed fuel and air and are ignited by the cylinder compression. When the bubble undergoes cavitation-ignition and combustion, the extra heat generated by the conversion of the fuel vapor, through its heat of combustion, causes the bubble to expand to a radius that is larger than its original radius. It is this difference in radius, and hence, bubble volume expansion that can be used to extract the energy release from bubble combustion.

Alternatively, a CIBC engine can also be implemented by injecting fuel and oxidizer into a non-reacting working fluid (such as water or a liquid metal), in this case, the combustion does not rely on the evaporation and mixing of the working fluid into the bubble interior, and may have some advantages in its ability to operate on gaseous fuels.”

Low Emission Explanation of Bubble Combustion

Potential Advantages of Cavitation Ignition Bubble Combustion (CIBC) for Low-Emissions Applications

”The combustion products generated by cavitation-ignition bubble combustion (CIBC) are initially contained within a gaseous bubble surrounded by the working fluid. Due to the extremely small size of the bubbles (circa 10 micrometers) the surface-to-volume ratio of the bubble is very large, which provides an ideal environment for gas-to-liquid mass transfer and exchange. The CIBC process is inherently parallel through many bubbles combusting and reacting to produce a large net amount of surface area for mass exchange. A by product of hydrocarbon combustion is carbon dioxide (CO2) which has recently become an important emission from the standpoint of the Greenhouse effect. The CO2 generated by CIBC can be rapidly absorbed into the working fluid through mass transfer, given a high degree of solubility of CO2 into the working fluid. For a liquid such as water, CO2 can dissolve quite well and then be removed by conventional chemical scrubber technologies. This means that a CIBC engine has the potential to be a low CO2 emissions engine given the correct choice of working fluids.

Other harmful gaseous emissions such as sulfur (primarily in the form of SO2) can also be absorbed into liquids and scrubbed out. Since sulfur emissions are also a regulated and important emission from the standpoint of acid rain, CIBC engines also have the added potential of being a low sulfur emissions engine technology. As a result of these potential low-carbon and low-sulfur emissions advantages, CIBC engine technology clearly has some real benefits to the realization of a low-Greenhouse-gas and low-Acid-Rain engine.”

Yes, this technology is real as tested and documented by NASA and Oak Ridge National Energy Lab. It is very difficult to understand the energy policies and energy research direction of the present Administration.

We must ask ourselves, can this Country, for the sake of our people, afford to lose this technology to a foreign country?
