Plans to Brand and Launch New Fuel in 2010
BALTIMORE, Apr 13, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Alkane, Inc. (ALKN.PK) announced today it has filed for a patent for a newly developed synthetic fuel for use as an additive, blend or fuel in gasoline powered engines. The fuel is not petroleum based, so it requires no crude oil to produce. It delivers more power to the engine than gasoline and is expected to produce significantly less heat.
The technology behind the fuel produces unconventional combustion in an internal combustion engine. This results in as much as 18 times the momentum imparted to an engine as compared to the combustion wave that occurs when fueled by gasoline. Effectively, this fuel enhances mechanical energy output from an engine.
"The ability to enhance mechanical energy output from an internal combustion engine is groundbreaking," said Mathew Zuckerman, Ph.D., CEO & President of Alkane. "The internal combustion engine of today still works on the basic pioneering work of Nicolaus Otto's original invention in 1854. The fuel is burned and up to 75% goes into waste heat, while only approximately 25% is converted to mechanical energy. Our new fuel creates no such waste heat during combustion, but rather all of its energy is useful as mechanical energy in the engine. This will truly be a revolutionary innovation."
"America needs to develop products like our flagship product, Monster Diesel, and our new synthetic fuel, that promise to multiply the usefulness of our domestic reserves of energy," said Lou Petrucci, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for the company. "America faces increased competition from other countries for sources of energy to fuel our economy and increase our standard of living. We have the answer."

And all they've done is file for a patent. Getting one approved is much tougher.
You can split hydrogen and oxygen and burn the hydrogen again.
YES, that is absolutely possible.
It is entirely possible to “recycle” atoms and molecules and burn them again. It is called “life” -—
The only question is: can this be done efficiently?
FIVE GOLDEN RINGS!.........Four calling birds, three French hens.................
“You can split hydrogen and oxygen and burn the hydrogen again.”
True, but to do it you have to put the energy back that was released when the H2 was oxidized in the first place... So what’s the point?
I’m not suggesting you can’t get free energy, but you can’t if your process depends on Newtonian physics.
Hah. Good reference.
Alkane, apparently a penny stock company, is engaged in hucksterism here. Quote from the article: “Our new fuel creates no such waste heat during combustion, but rather all of its energy is useful as mechanical energy in the engine.” Bullcrap. Poppycock. Nonsense. I’m telling you as an engineer with two semesters of thermodynamics under my belt that this is not thermodynamically possible. It MUST generate some waste heat, since you can’t thermodynamically convert 100% of the molecular bond energy into mechanical energy.

It use to be email spams that would run up the price on penny stock to make the owner money, perhaps this is just the new way of doing it.

No, there isn't. The maximum capacity of the generator requires an equal amount of energy via torque and speed. When less than maximium amps are drawn, less torque is required, less effort by the engine and less fuel is burned.
If it was perfectly efficient, you could only get out what you put in. But in real world, any process isn't perfect, there is some losses and you get less useful energy out than put in, the balance is losses like heat.
Yes, They MUST HAVE GAINED CONTROL OF THE FORCES OF THE UNIVERSE! THEY REPEALED THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS!..........
I've got two patents, issued a while ago.
My recollection is that it has to be "reduced to practice", and disclosed in enough detail that a "skilled practitioner of the art" can reproduce it.
That's why the Star Trek "Transporter" is unpatented.
No problem.
The Won can do it by Executive Order.
Maybe they could just DEEM it into being..................
That, too.
==>”Yes, They MUST HAVE GAINED CONTROL OF THE FORCES OF THE UNIVERSE! THEY REPEALED THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS!..........”<==
They must have had a democrat super-majority. Makes about as much sense as anything else dems do...
I can actually type in my name and and it will find the patents that have been granted and the applications that are pending -- without getting it exactly right.
I'm going to send that to our CTO....
