Turn gasoline from 1 to 2: New invention or illusion?

Retired chemical engineer Le Ngoc Khanh, author of the additive said: Who cares, can try it!

According to Mr. Khanh, the same volume, on the road, the same type of used car, the normal A92 gasoline can run 25km / liter, A92 gasoline plus his self-made additive run up to 52.5km / liter, bio-petrol E5 runs 30km / liter, E5 gasoline add additives will run 46km / liter.

'Miraculous' additives

Engineer Khanh explained, the current types of gasoline when used for the internal combustion engine of a motorcycle only 25% of the heat is converted into function - making the car run. The remaining 75% due to unburnt gasoline, or slow, out-of-area burning may generate performance.

The higher the octane index (A92 gasoline, the octane index is 92, the higher the 95% octane A95 gasoline), the better the resistance to ignition of gasoline, however, the more difficult the conversion of thermal energy to kinetic energy. Gasoline burns slowly, and because gasoline molecules are still large, it makes gasoline difficult to burn.

Therefore, he researched and created an additive that breaks down the connections of gasoline into smaller molecules right in the combustion chamber, increasing the ability to burn the piston, increasing the efficiency of converting the thermoelectricity power. This additive mixes at a rate of less than 1% in gasoline, but the breakdown of gasoline molecules only occurs in the compression chamber before burning. This additive does not increase the octane index in gasoline. According to KS Khanh, his additives are organic and cheaper than gasoline.

Incredulous.

' Scientifically, there is no foundation for scaling down gasoline molecules like Khanh's .' Dr. Huynh Quyen, Director of Research Center for Petrochemical Technology, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology analyzed: To break, smaller than gasoline molecules (breaking hydrocarbon circuits) often have to go through stages' Cracking with large energy with thermal methods, or catalysis requires a large-scale investment plant. If the additive phase does not show any chemical reaction, how can the gas molecules be broken?

However, Dr Quyen also said that this additive can increase the dispersion ability of gasoline molecules to increase the capacity for the engine. Also want to benefit gasoline or not to change the engine, adjust the fuel tank (downward flow of fuel, wind), but it is impossible to increase the efficiency of the engine 100% as claimed by Engineer Khanh.

The announcement of doubling the efficiency of gasoline is impossible, Associate Professor Pham Xuan Mai, Department of Traffic Engineering, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology said. It is true that only 25-30% of the gasoline in the engine is converted into mechanical energy, the rest is turned into heat that heats the engine, turning it into exhaust fumes. There may be some additives when added to gasoline that increase the ability to convert heat energy into mechanical energy, but only a few percent increase (%) is the same.

The two scientists all said that if there is such a superior additive like that, its author should take it to centers, laboratories for analysis and testing. And when there are authentic results as the author declares, it should be encouraged to apply to life. Society will benefit a lot .

However, KS Khanh said, he was afraid of giving analysis, testing, or registration of intellectual property, the formula of additives would be . exposed! However, when the additive technology is sold, the owner has the right to decide on the problem.

KS Khanh said that during this time, those interested could contact him to see if he prepared, or try a gasoline with a 'miracle' additive.
