Instead of shunting heat to the atmosphere through the exhaust and radiator systems—reducing the amount of work that can be derived from combustion—as much heat as possible is directed to heat exchangers that transfer their energy to a closed loop of working fluid—as in low heat geothermal electric generation. 

The working fluid is expanded into a pressurized gas and the gas is used to turn a turbine. 

The turbine turns a generator creating electricity.

Electricity from the generator is used to perform electrolysis on water—a very well known and understood technology—separating it into hydrogen and oxygen.

The separated gasses are utilized in the following manner:

Oxygen is kept separate from hydrogen at all times and introduced into the engine intake.

Hydrogen is immediately delivered to the diesel reformer and combined with the fuel.

As in the oil refining industry, the diesel reformer pre-cracks the diesel fuel by adding hydrogen atoms to the chemical make-up of the diesel fuel.  The hydrogen enriched fuel is injected into the cylinder as in a normal engine. 

When fuel is burned, heat is produced.  At its most basic the function of an engine is to convert heat into work. Expanding gases trapped within the cylinders of internal combustion engines have been utilized to perform work for more than 100 years now. 

Although great strides have been made in fuel economy – by perfecting the mixture of air and fuel introduced into the cylinders; the basic efficiency of the engine (in terms of thermodynamic yield) has not improved greatly in those same 100 years!

Whether measured in British Thermal Units (BTU’s) or calories, the yield of a unit of fossil fuel is a known quantity. 

We believe that the ratio of heat generated to the amount of work performed should become the new worldwide standard for engine efficiency. 

Through miniaturization and hybridization of time-tested technologies currently being exploited in the Geo-Thermal Electric, Oil Refining, Diesel Engine Manufacturing, and Hydrogen Generation industries a paradigm shift may be achieved—if a world leader in the areas of ecology and industry can be found to finance the research and development of this new standard of excellence.
