Paradoxical Phenomena and Properties Discovered in Fuel Emulsions.

This article examines paradoxical properties discovered in water-in-oil fuel emulsions produced using a multifunctional device developed by the author. The studies were conducted using No. 2 diesel fuel and drinking water with a hardness salt concentration of up to 200 mg/L. Particular attention is given to applications in diesel engines, diesel generators, industrial boilers, and turbines.

The paper presents an integrative system for primary and restorative emulsion production that enables repeated re-emulsification using identical technological principles. Results from more than 1,000 tests showed that after phase separation, the emulsion can restore its original structure through short-term hydrodynamic activation. This phenomenon is described as three-dimensional hydraulic shape memory and is associated with nanoscale capsules preserved within the separated phases. The restored emulsion retained its original performance characteristics and demonstrated potential for applications in related fields, including hydroponic and irrigation systems, indicating the need for further research and technological adaptation.
