K2N from the world wide web:
http://www.ebay.com.my/viItem?ItemId=280052593538
http://www.k2nsafetypowersystem.com/en/whatisk2n.html
Another k2N website? (Who is copying who for the brand name?)
doubts:
1. I have no idea what "pure energy stone" is as it sounds more like an advertisement for Energy Water! The http://www.k2nsafetypowersystem.com/en/images/k2nstones.gif simply tell that the stones are not in pure form.
2. No scientific reference related to such "stone" is available when keyword "K2N" was searched in
www.sciencedirect.com. If the stone is such a wonderful material, were reported by Russian scientists, and is known to the local people, sciendirect.com, the largest portal for scientific publications, should have some trace about K2N.
3. Rocks and stones are formed UNDERGROUND! Where the hell the photo (light) energy is from for the
photosynthesis? Oh.. I think it needs some chlorophyls too!
4. Wow... No external energy needed, no additional reactant required, releases energy continuously -
RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES? Even so, radioactive isotopes DO DEPLETES.
5. Ionic decomposition of hydrocarbon molecules? Are you talking about
heterolytic thermal cracking? Are we talking about using silica alumina or zeolite at 500 deg C? We are not certainly. If the world already has such miracle "energy stone" that is so efficient at low temperature, oil refineries would have already been using it! Who else need to invest on thermal cracking and catalytic cracking?
6. Smaller molecule grouping (cluster)? Oxyhydrogen bond? I think it means breaking the
hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) between the fuel molecules and separating a large cluster of molecule into smaller ones. Hydrocarbon fuel has VERY LITTLE
oxygenated blending compound, thus the H-bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen of adjacent molecules IS NEGLIGIBLE. Unless we are talking about gasohol.
7. With neglible level of H-bond to be broken, we can then expect 100% cumbustion efficiency? What can we achieve with 100% combustion? Unburnt fuel is needed in the cooling of the combustion chamber. As the unburnt fuel vapourizes, it takes away heat from the engine. In addition, modern engines are combusting at least 95% of the fuel supplied. By burning the remaining 5%, we can then expect 15 - 25% improvement in fuel consumption, up to 20% for performance?
8. Reduces CO, CO2, and hydrocarbon.
Complete combustion doesn't produce CO and HC, true. But the main product of combustion is CO2! How to reduce CO2 when all the hydrocarbon is burnt? How about NOx level?
9. Purify and restructure the acid and alkali? Where the hell the acids and alkalis came from? The
acids or
alkalis don't even ionize in the non-polar petrol, let alone showing the acid/alkali properties and allowing the stones to purify and restructure them. What can be achieve by purifying the acids and alkalis in the fuel (if they do exist) anyway?
10.
Tribology Laboratory, University of Malaya does exist and I can get this claim verified easily should I get in touch with Assoc. prof. Dr. Adbul Ghaffar. By the way, what tribology has to do with fuel? It's about lubrication, friction and wear. World class as in what? Show the certificate please!
Some Maths:
For performance:
RM650 can get a used cam (dyno proven )
RM650 can get a lightened crank pulley (dyno proven)
RM650 can get a good 4-2-1 + rear muffler (dyno proven)
RM650 can get a used SAFC (dyno proven)
etc etc...
All these modifications give you about 5 - 10% depending on the setup. Performance can come cheap, but certainly not as cheap as 20%/RM650 with some catalysts/modifier/booster that is supposed to improve the fuel that has already been purposely blended for optimum performance.
For fuel consumption/economy:
1. RM650 can refuel 8 times, RM80 each. I get to see the pretty cashier more in 4-month time.
2. For 11km/L of FC, after 10% optimistic improvement, one can save RM7.70 from 40-L-worth of fuel. It takes 84 refueling to cover the cost spent for the fuel saver. If one refuels twice a month, it takes him 3.5 years! But the effective warranty (probably the performance too) expires in only 3 years.
