BORPower additive?

[aerohead]

1) At 10-RPM on a tabletop tester?
2) At 300, 600, and 900 RPM in the Diesel engine test?
3) Do you know of an automotive engine that will run at 300-rpm?
4) 600-rpm IS quite common for 'idle' speed of automotive engines.
5) 900-rpm isn't even 'fast-idle' during 'cold warm-up' open-loop operation, or during a 'choked' carburetor, on all those 1991 MotorSilk 'worn-out' engines ( maybe those engines were worn out in the manual transmission cars by owners who tried to let out the clutch at 900-rpm in first gear, causing the entire powertrain to chug and buck ).
6) How about 10,000-RPM ?

Ah still fighting are we.
OK you can have the last word

Yes BN is in the study, but the results with BA are mentioned separately from BN.
Other research finding synergy between BA and the established engine oil additives received similar contempt and utter disregard from you.

Mostly; Any attempt at holding your hand through the process of logical deduction seems to lead to a total lack of ability in that dept.

If the well established procedure and equipment used by tribology research is good enough for all the other additive found in engine oil, it's good enough for BA and tests on old, pre rebuild engines are of no threat to anyone besides possibly the oil and engines makers' bottom line.

I consider this thread closed due to a total (or apparent?) lack of deductive logic and a blatant lack of respect for fellow Ecomodders in general, to the point where your responses and behavior are identical to those of a paid troll.
Goodbye.

I should think that the mods and the OP (Quezacotl) could actually close the thread.

Further affiant sayeth not.

So far, the 'logical deduction' is that, Argonne, and it's 3rd-party researchers never 'concluded' the research, leaving things open-ended, and an 'unknown quantity,' No actionable information.
In the context of 'The Art of War', you had already lost the battle, and the 'war' before any of us ever took the field. And it's because of what we already knew that you didn't.
You've attributed things to boric acid that have never been supported by facts.
While facts cannot be argued, it was 'essential' that your hypothesis be tested, as best we could, in the full light of the scientific method.

Every phenom experienced by BORPower contributors can be explained within the absence of anything to do with 'boron.'
If anyone is still interested, and in the absence of critical information Logic purposely withheld from us, I've got a 'book-full' of information germane to subject of 'engine additives', from which we might be able to do some forensic reconstructions of what's been 'measured.'

Not yet plz.
I have pictures from/for the linked research to add as few follow them.
A picture is worth a thousand words and all that.
And the reaction to them telling...

Boundary and mixed lubrication proven with rotating cylinder liners. Proof from 7min56:

I NB that the rotating liners ameliorate but don't completely negate Boundary and Mixed Lubrication.
I 'see' rings turning with the liners..?
But "...at idle...40% less fuel...at 1/3 to 1/2 load...10% less fuel..." with the friction of rotating the liner included in the calculation.

Okay, it was just a suggestion.

In the context of 'The Art of War', you had already lost the battle,

Which one? Sun Bin or Sun Tzu? The former is two volumes of fifteen chapters, the latter is thirteen chapters.

Can you narrow it down a bit, or is it just "I know more than you going in"?
