The Science Explained

Sudden Insight

Dr. Fainman had been researching synthetic esters for three decades before what he called his "sudden insight"; combining low and high molecular weight synthetic esters in one fuel reformulator. Below are excerpts from the patent* which calls the reformulator "d-1280x":


Molecular Weight

The reformulator is a mixture of two straight chain carboxylic acid esters, one having a low molecular weight and the other having a higher molecular weight, and wherein the reformulator mixture increases the efficiency of the engine and decreases pollution.

Lubrication

The high molecular weight ester, acting as a synthetic overhead lubricant, partially survives the combustion and contributes an acid moiety to form the chemisorbed iron soap to provide boundary layer lubrication. Vibration is reduced and the engine at idle runs more smoothly and quietly. Smoking is reduced markedly, and power, acceleration, and fuel efficiency are improved.





increased efficiency

Elimination of Sulfur & Nitrogen

The low molecular weight materials keep the injectors clean. The need for a dispersant is eliminated, avoiding sulfur and nitrogen, which form air polluting sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides upon combustion.


All materials used in the present invention are composed only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (no metals, sulfur, nitrogen, etc.) and thus pollution by the reformulator itself.
