Omnitek Plans To Exhibit At The World’s Largest Agricultural Exposition

SAN MARCOS, CA (Feb.04, 2009) – Omnitek Engineering, Corp. (OMTK.PK) has announced its plans to exhibit at the Ag Expo, held February 10 to 12, 2009 in Tulare, California. It is the world’s largest annual agricultural exposition, with an estimated 100,000 attendees. Tulare’s location in the heart of the agriculturally-rich San Joaquin Valley attracts farm equipment manufacturers and farmers from around the world.

Omnitek will exhibit its diesel-to-natural gas conversion technology, which can be used to convert high-polluting diesel-fueled irrigation engines to low-polluting natural gas engines. Kate Campbell, a reporter for Ag Alert, reports, ”An estimated 9,000 to 11,000 (of these) engines that are mostly used to power irrigation pumps currently are operated in California. This equipment is located at fixed sites and used for growing crops or raising fowl or other animals.”

Many of these high-polluting diesel engines are no longer in compliance with current emission standards and farmers operating these engines have few options available to avoid being penalized. New clean-diesel or electric irrigation pumps are very expensive. Most agree that converting the old diesel pumps to natural gas is the least expensive option.

When these high-polluting diesel engines are converted to natural gas using the Omnitek technology, emissions levels are well below the current mandated limits and could bring these engines in compliance until well beyond 2014.

Converting diesel engines to natural gas offers the most economical solution to farmers and engines converted to “lean burn operation” also offer a tremendous fuel economy improvement and a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 30% over diesel irrigation pumps.

Also EPA and Engine folks will not allow "modifications to Engines"... and I assume the use of bio-fuel such as fine homemade filtered "french fry oil" is another NO-NO... The mechanics love this goo.. creates work as it plugs up lots of filters.. SO we have WORK cut out to amend these-- What about ROAD TAX add-ons ?? .

The Dallas Morning News esouder@dallasnews.com – To cut dependence on oil and pollution, the first thing to do isn't to invest in fancy biofuels or subsidize nifty electric cars, say oil industry officials. Tony Hayward, chief executive of European oil giant BP PLC, said Tuesday the first step is to improve the efficiency of the plain old gasoline car.

810 820 4572 Jack Carey Michigan. From my vantage point he's correct Please excuse any grammar mistakes and I wouldn't waste your time. The Stanford address's are for the Precourt Institute

A colleague, Mr. Dennis K-------, in Northern Mo. is the inventor of technology that will permit ultra efficient clean burning diesel and gas engines. The key is to dramatically increase efficiency and solve the emission problem during combustion not after the fact. The various design and function hardware technology has the following attributes:

§ No moving parts to wear out

§ Low cost to manufacture

§ Uses battery power for operation (Diesel)

§ Easy installation in fuel line.

The patented device, 2 separate units required for specific Diesel applications installed up stream of the fuel injectors, alters the consistency by pre heating the fuel and reverses the polarity of fuel, permitting clean burn, eliminating soot and smoke along with a drastic reduction in emissions.

Clean burn causes serious increases in power. Demo of an old inefficient 45 Hp. Perkins that drives a generator Per Dyno testing now produces 64 Hp. A 40% increase and dramatic reductions in fuel consumption, 5/8 of a Gal per hour. The Device permits diesel operation without a catalytic converter. Mr. K----- also has a theoretical OEM application gas or diesel fuel injector premise that would incorporate the features of the add-on.

The claim is, from the point of cold start, even during sub-zero conditions, various diesel emissions (smoke, soot, NOx, and sulfur) can be eliminated during the combustion cycle. The device can treat enough fuel, prior to starting engine from cold start, for engine to meet proposed reduced emissions requirements upon start up.

The Device eliminates the need for glow plugs. During warm weather diesel engines are far more efficient and run smother because the fuel doesn't jell up in the fuel tanks as is the case during winter months. Diesel's are less efficient during cold periods because of the fuel consistency issue. At truck stops during very cold periods engines are ran all night to avoid starting problems in the morning.

The design is production ready without further research and development. However, each diesel engine group up to ocean going vessels requires a specifically engineered set up. Used motor oil can also be used as a fuel.

The Existing stationary demonstration unit uses A/C current instead of battery power for the add-on hardware. Testing could be done with and without the hardware being operational. No NDA's are necessary

We have the ability to manufacture the inventions but do not have the money to establish a manufacturing facility. We would also consider a licensing arrangement.

Proposal Team Experience

Dennis K-----, is an inventor of various technologies for diesel and gasoline applications that dramatically address emissions and fuel economy. His technologies are ready to produce and require no research and development. Examples of his inventions include: 1) a new ultra-flow-frequency-splitting muffler design that would drastically reduce the noise level of a diesel vehicle.

2) an un patented device to modify fuel, prior to combustion, that is small and tubular, universally applicable (for fuel injection or throttle body), and suitable for gasoline or diesel engines.

One has been installed in the fuel line on Mr. K---- 95 Lincoln V 8 for 13 years that has over 200,000 miles and the car achieves over 30 MPG. A 50% increase in MPG. I personally verified during a 600 mile trip. The no moving part unit draws claimed (Negative Electrons) off the engine via a wire attached and the power factor interacts with the multi dissimilar metal alloy inter core (sand casting Required) and the copper outer tube.

The inter action reverses the polarity of liquid fuel and transforms the realm into a dry carbon vapor that dramatically improves burn efficiency. If you inspected his exhaust pipe you'd discover its very clean.

Other inventions include a never change oil again only add when necessary Centrifuge oil cleaning premise that requires removing the oil filter installing the unit then reinstalling the filter. Inventor claims the filter would need changing every 100,000 miles. Also Ultra efficient T Body designs. A Centrifuge power doubling premise. A second source of fuel steam Injection utilizing exhaust heat feature (Windshield Fluid in winter). also a new Turbo design.

Dr. Jan R----- in Boston is a PE associate and has been a Mech. Eng. for 45 years. His experience includes holding the Chief Engineer position for 20 companies. He attended school in Europe and has additional degrees from MIT.

Jack Carey is a non engineering associate who has one of K’s inventions installed on an old early 90's Chevy pickup truck with a gasoline engine. This after market only patented device is specifically for throttle body injected gasoline engines ( pictures can be sent on request).

The exhaust in and out device is a chambered in between tube-in-tube shape and placed between the intake and the repositioned T body and utilizes heat supplied by the repositioned exhaust manifold to preheat combustion gases after injected by the repositioned T Body (at a 17 to 1 air fuel mixture) determined by the vehicles computer. In order to concentrate the exhaust heat header wrap is used on the exhaust manifold and the tube in tube configuration.

After starting with liquid fuel the tube configuration manufactured with muffler shop equipment heats up. Liquid fuel injected into the inter tube in small amounts is transformed into a safe dry carbon vapor before entering the intake manifold. This system provides a 15% increase in horsepower, 100% increase in fuel economy, and drastic reduction in emissions. An obsolete version of the mentioned muffler that will flow up to a 1000 HP. engine is also installed

A far simpler to install improved aftermarket design would consist of a redesigned exhaust manifold, and the throttle body on existing vehicles would not require repositioning. Mr. K in the past has tested an improved version utilizing a modified manifold from a 1957 GM 2.5 ton truck. Ethanol or whatever Bio fuels can also be vaporized prior to combustion the far less heat required process dynamics are different than gas requirements.

At the OEM level The improved design including an advanced T body/Carb would allow the elimination of more expensive port fuel injection systems and smog hardware along with reducing current engine displacement requirements. Example, my factory towing package equipped 350 5.7 V 8 truck would only require a 4.3 V 6.

New Non Fossil Fuel based Motor Oil Formulation

The formulation primarily consists of a commercially available derivative of a widely grown renewable product. Plus for consistency purposes the formula requires an additional commercially available additive. In theory the new oil only requires changing every 25,000 miles, Projected 6000 mile filter changes are required.

The required ingredients are more cost effective than various current motor oil's. Sufficient quantity's can be supplied at no cost for bench test evaluation purposes. The claim is the replacement oil would be corrosion resistance and compatible with engine components and seals.

There's a STAR TREK LEVEL Self contained internally driven Magnetic Motor Propulsion Combination Electrical Generation Tech. that would allow the on site selling of electrical energy. Propulsion wise once existing vehicles were retrofitted with wheel mounted motors miles could be down loaded at service stations thus keeping road tax collection's intact.

New builds would not require engines, battery's or drive trains. Theoretically according to the inventor (4) 500 Pound motors would drive a 4 screw Air Craft Carrier plus provide the ships electrical requirements. Mag. motors could drive Jet Turbo fans and replace the landing gear hydraulics. For an idea Currently a 767 consumes 7000 Gal's of fuel on a flight from NY to SF. Naturally I don't expect anyone to believe anything stated in this mail.
