Hi, I'm almost completely ignorant of electronics but want to build a device to induce an electrorheological effect on a diesel fuel line. I need to generate a field of 1kV/mm between two mesh electrodes 10mm apart which will be located within the fuel line. This field would be around 0.1 W in power. Any thoughts about generating this field using the power available under a car bonnet? If this works the fuels viscosity is reduced aiding combustion. Thanks
these car fuel efficiency scams are pointless and never work so youre proberbly wasting your time. also haveing high voltages by fuel lines sounds deadly lol
All the hits on the site **broken link removed** are over 10 years old except the last one. And that just referred to the possibility of using a electrorheological fluid in a non-fuel related application in the future. Must not have been a lot of success in applying this phenomenon.
Can you provide a link that supports you speculation?
If all it does is make the fuel thinner then I don't see why it would be any more effective than heating it or adding a lighter oil solvent to make it thinner.
