Abstract - The present work deals with fuel ionization by
using magnetic field which willensurecompletecombustionof
air-fuel mixture. Incomplete combustion in engine is due to
improper mixing of hydrocarbon and oxygen molecule. These
attempts is made in this work to improve the combustion
efficiency of internal combustion engines by adopting a
magnetic fuel ionization method in which the fuel is ionized
due to the magnetic field. To overcome these issues magnets
are used called as Magnetic fuel conditioner. This helptoalign
the orientation of hydrocarbon molecules, for better
atomization of fuel. Use of such magnet mounted in path of
fuel lines improves mileage & reduces emission of vehicle.
These experiments are conducted at different engine loading
conditions. The work in particular is very significant on
account of its impact on the global automobile market. The
magnets help to disperse the hydrocarbon cluster intosmaller
particles which will improve the efficiency of combustion. This
will maximize the combustion of fuel.
Key Words: Eddy current dynamometer, Diesel engine.
1. INTRODUCTION
In India, the use of vehicles increases in huge amount over
the last decades. In internal combustion engine, generally
fuels are use in the form of liquid and they do not combust
until they are vaporized and mixed with air. In internal
combustion engine, decrease in efficiency, clogsstalling,and
loss of horsepower due to fossil fuels that leave a natural
deposit of carbon residue. Generally, a fuel for internal
combustion engine is compound of number of molecules.
Each and every molecule consists of a number of atoms
made up of number of nucleus and electrons, which orbit
their nucleus. Molecules of fuel have not been realigned, so
that fuel is not actively interlocked with oxygen during
combustion. Molecules have positive and negative electrical
charges. Magnets are the prime source that control of the
position of electrons. Magnets change the orientation of
electron in orbit and molecules of fuel have been realigned
and ionized.
The fuel is subject to the lines of forces from permanent
magnets mounted on fuel inlet lines. These states create the
condition for freer association of fuel particulars. The
consequence of treating fuel with a high magnetic field is
improved combustion of fuel and consequently increased
engine power as well as reduced fuel consumption. Also the
engine performance is very important for the better
efficiency of vehicle, it is solved by increasing the fuel
property. Increases the percentage in the complete
combustion of the fuel in combustion chamber, here we
introduce the magnet and their magnetic field in the inlet
line of the fuel supply.

Investigation of Magnetic Fuel Conditioner (M.F.C) in I.C.
engine, ISSN: 2250-3021 Volume 2, Issue 7 (July 2012), PP
27-31. From the above experimental results, the following
conclusions were made. It isclear from theexperimentresult
that the brake thermal efficiency,indicatedpoweraresimilar
in both with and withoutMagnetFuelEnergizerbutindicated
power gets improve at lower load condition. Specific fuel
consumption decreases due to the reduction of fuel
consumption at higher load. There is significant reduction in
the exhaust emissions at all load condition in both neodium
and ferrite but among them two neodium gave better effect
than the ferrite. The experiments results show the magnetic
effect on fuel consumption reduction was up to 8% at higher
load condition. The CO emission gets reduce at higher load.
The effect on NOx emissions reduces range up to 27.7%. The
reduction of HC emissions was range up to 30%. The CO2
emission reduction was up to 9.72% at average of all loads.

magnetic field strength on hydrocarbon fuel viscosity and
engine performance", International Journal of Mechanical
Engineering and Computer Applications, Vol.1, No.7, pp.94-
98, December 2013. By establishing correct fuel burning
parameters through proper magnetic means (MFC) one can
assume that an internal combustion engine is getting
maximum energy per liter as well as environment with
lowest possible level toxic emission. MFC increases the
internal energy of a fuel to cause specific changes at a
molecular level which obtained easier combustion. The
resultantfuelburnmorecompletely,producinghigherengine
output, better fuel economy, morepower&mostimportantly
reduces the amount of HC, CO, NOx in the exhaust. &
therefore control the emission at low cost. In short the
summary of the conclusion includes: MFC increases 10-40%

mileage of vehicle, Reduction in HC emission & other
pollutants, avoid clogging problems in Diesel Engine, Cost
saving, Eco friendly, provides 30% extra life for expensive
catalytic converter, reduce maintenance of engine most
importantly does not require any design modification &
finally cost saving.
3. MAGNET
Magnet is an object that produces continuous magnetic field
around it which is invisible but the effectofthemagneticfield
is notable. Magnets can attract all ferromagnetic materials
such as iron and also can attract and repelwithothermagnet.
Many type of magnets in different range of dimension, shape
and strength. The most typical magnet used in science
laboratory is madeup of ferriteand neodymiummagnet.The
two types of magnets are ferrite magnets and neodymium
magnets
Fig -1: Magnets used
In these we have used Neodymium Magnets also known as
Neo magnet which is most widely used type of rare earth
magnet and in brightsilver color.Thisisapermanentmagnet
which made from alloy of neodymium, iron and boron and
this magnet considered to be the strongest magnet type
among other permanent magnet. This magnet widelyusedin
electronic based companies and also as motor in cordless
tools.
We have used 4000 gauss neodymium magnet.
3. EFFECTOFMAGNETICFIELDONFUELMOLECULE
Hydrogen occurs in two distinct isomeric forms Para and
ortho shows in the below figure It is characterized by the
different oppositenucleusspins. The orthostateofhydrogen
has more effective than para state for maximum complete
combustion. The ortho state can be achieved by introducing
strong magnetic field along the fuel line. Hydrocarbon
molecules form clusters, it has been technically possible to
enhance van der Waals' discovery due to the application of
the Magnetic field,a high power, permanent magneticdevice
strong enough to break down, i.e. de-cluster these HC
associations, so maximum space acquisition for oxygen to
combine with hydrocarbon.

4. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
The magnetizing apparatus is located on the pipe between
pumping means and the burner, fuel injectors, because it is
unnecessary for any other parts to be magnetized. A portion
of the fuel feeding system extending from a point
downstreamofthemagnetizingapparatustotheburnermust
be made of non-magnetic material. In this case, magnetized
fuel is directly fed to burners or atomizing nozzles with a
minimum reduction of magnetism. The magnets are
embedded in a body of non-magnetic material, such as
plastic, copper or aluminium, to secure them to the fuel line.
No cutting of the fuel line and any hose and clamps are
necessary to install this device, outside a fuel line without
disconnection or modification of the fuel or ignition system
for producing magnetic flux in the flow path of combustible
fuel within the pipe.
