Heat-Engine Efficiency Enhancement
This technology stems from the discovery detailed in Dr. Tinker's paper, Occult Parasitic Energy Loss in Heat Engines. The scope and capabilities of this technology is nothing short of incredible. It promises to provide a 30% increase in internal combustion engine (ICE) efficiency in both spark ignition and compression ignition (diesel) engines no matter what fuel is consumed and in addition to any other combustion-enhancing technology applied.

This is truly a base efficiency gain in the engine as opposed to an aerodynamic or weight reduction technique for improving fuel efficiency. A properly modified ICE, will either achieve 30% greater power output for the same amount of fuel of an unmodified ICE or, equivalently, the same power output will require 30% less fuel.

Currently the technology is being applied to a small, single-cylinder, utility engine (Robin-Subaru EX-27) for dynamometer testing (note that Robin-Subaru is not connected with FSNC, LLC in any way). Theoretical projections indicate that this engine will produce 12.0 horsepower at 4,000 rpm after modification as compared with 9.0 horsepower unmodified.

Once testing is successfully completed on the single-cylinder engine, FSNC will begin to make appropriate modifications to a high-performance, spark-ignition V-8 engine. It is also anticipated that application of the technology to diesel engines will parallel the V-8 engine efforts.

Beyond its application to ICE power plants, this technology can also provide increased efficiency in heat pumps and compressors further reducing worldwide energy demand. At a time when petroleum prices are reaching levels never-before seen and energy demand in China, India, and the rest of the world continues to increase, this technology promises to be the medium term solution to the "perfect storm" in energy economics.
