Abstract:
A fuel modification device for improving the combustion of an hydrocarbon fuel, comprising;a casing having an inlet fitting, an outlet fitting and a flow axis between said inlet fitting and said outlet fitting;said casing enclosing a plurality of catalytic pellets held in layers by at least two spaced-apart Monel screens positioned perpendicularly relative to said flow axis,at least one of said catalytic pellets containing by weight 2-7% bismuth; andat least one magnet positioned adjacent to and without touching, one of said Monel screens, said magnet containing at least one element from a group of elements comprising strontium and barium,whereby when said fuel is adapted to flow through said casing and when said fuel contains water, an electrolytic action is generated through said fuel between said Monel screen and said magnet for breaking said water content into oxygen and hydrogen radicals of said water content.
