We at some point will patent the methodology and the fuel extraction devices related to extraction of energy from the fuel prior to as in part to the induction and metering system.

If am reading this right it sounds like you are heating and mixing the air/fuel mixture in stages prior to it reaching the combustion chamber. I remember Smokey Yunick doing that back in the 1980's with impressive results even though it was never successfully marketed.

He's an accomplished engineer and has good methods of testing for consistency and thus I believe his findings.

WOW! I have noticed how in the spring/summer when fueling up with cool fuel on a warm day the fuel mileage is better but it never occured to me that the chemical composition could make that much of a difference.
