Topic: 38Abstract:
Fossil fuels are contributing the largest share in meeting up energy demands of urban lifestyle across the globe. May it be gasoline or coal, all sort of fossil fuels are drilled out of earth crust to burn on the earth surface creating a huge burden on air quality. Incomplete combustion of fossil fuels causes pollution of carbon monoxide and other gases. It also eats away the breathable oxygen from the atmosphere. Rampant use of coal in power sector causes problems adding to the global warming phenomenon. Many of the coal powered thermal power plants are used beyond its stipulated life span, with reduced efficiency, which results in incomplete combustion of fuel and emission of carbon monoxide. Santilli’s discovery of magnecules is a boon in considerably reducing the above stated serious problems being faced by the mankind in particular and the adverse effects on the overall health of the earth in general. Amongst various proposed remedies the magnecules and magnehydrogen are seen to be best additives to fossil fuels which can effectively enhance the combustion efficiency of fossil fuels. The present paper discusses the enhancement in combustion efficiency of fossil fuels in terms of increased utility of carbon and improved quality of emission reducing the amount of obnoxious gases.
