ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for pretreating fuel prior to its injection into a combustion chamber to a critical level of activation to enable negligible ignition delay and substantially instantaneous completion of the combustion process. Each quantity of fuel is treated in a plurality of phases to achieve the critical level of fuel activation by the combined effect of each, with fuel heating combined with one or more further activation treatment phases, including catalysis, UV irradiation, or passing each quantity of the fuel through an electrical discharge to thereby enable hypergolic combustion by a combination of the effects thereof.
