Sorry, but a magic carb isn't going to get you more chemical energy than
the gasoline can deliver. If there was significant unused chemical
energy in modern engines, then the emissions would contain compounds
which would reflect that. They don't. Having a patent doesn't mean
that the technology is valid.
