The pressure imposed on science and scientists to attack all possible (and may
be impossible) methods to achieve higher fuel and engine efficiency is well
known. Not only driven by the extremely dangerous environmental situation
(global warming and pollution), but also by other factors like fluctuating oil
prices and depletion of fossil fuel resources. Due to these factors, research is
going everywhere at a tremendous level to better use of available resources.
In the present study, a series of experimental work is introduced to explore the
impact of fuel magnetic treatment on engine performance. Two main types of
magnetic treatments were tested; the first type is depending on a permanent
magnet, while the second type is depending on an electromagnetic magnet.
Two different designs for the electromagnetic device were examined to explore
the effect of number of coils, material, source of electricity and some other
parameters on engine performance.
Two fuels were examined, gasoline as a liquid fuel and Natural gas as a gaseous
fuel.Some attractive results showed that we can increase engine power by 20 %
and reduce fuel consumption by the same percentage depending on engine
operating conditions. Promising results were obtained for the reduction in
engine main pollutants (CO, HC, and NO
