Abstract & Overview
It has previously been shown that internal combustion engines run longer on negatively charged gasoline without losing their power. In the course of searching for optimal methods of such electrification, over time it was concluded that the most suitable of them is the negative electrification of air, which forms a combustible mixture with gasoline. At the same time, the applicability of this electrification method to other hydrocarbons was studied. These studies demonstrated, in particular, that negatively charged air promotes the complete combustion of paraffin candles, while positively charged air hinders their complete combustion. Since visual confirmation of the difference in combustion of paraffin candles in air with an opposite charge is the most convincing, this method of confirmation was used here; in addition, it was taken into account that the effectiveness of this method of persuasion had previously been demonstrated by Faraday, who strongly recommended studying the chemistry of candle combustion.
