Im going to Add more stabilizers to manage the ethanol content and balance the fuel matrix. We’re combining bio-esters, bio-ethanol, and bio-alkaline as a baseline for the custom tri-fuel mixture. And of course with plans to integrate bio-butanol as sourcing permits.

The objective: match standard gasoline energy density while drastically pushing thermal efficiency and knock resistance. By stabilizing these compounds, we eliminate the traditional 8.5:1 to 10.5:1 compression boundaries, paving the way for massive boost levels and extreme knock resistance up to 15:1 compression and beyond.
Built, calculated, and executed. Stay tuned. ⚡️

*Disclaimer - This is not me or my project but a video of a man named 'Adam Miller' test benching a single cylinder camless engine prototype. This is the system i wanted to include, but time isnt on my side so i plan to add this feature after in future projects between winter 2026 and 2027.

Now quick question ; "Should camless technology be the new standard for all engines in vehicles?"

Track logic: He had 1,000 HP, I had cornering speed, and we both had zero intent of giving up the racing line🤝.

Battery-Powered vehicles aren't the only path to zero emissions. Lithium mining takes a huge toll on the environment. zero-carbon ammonia fuel a better way forward? 🔋 vs ⛽

The science behind ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) decomposition. Above 170°C, it breaks down into water vapor, nitrogen, and oxygen gases, releasing massive thermal energy. Controlled chemical oxidation is what gives nitrogen-based fuels their power when managed properly in an engine, or catastrophic when unmanaged.

Think of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst as a chemical filtration furnace for your exhaust pipe, a system meant to turn toxic emissions into harmless air.
When an engine burns fuel, high temperatures force nitrogen and oxygen from the air to bond together, creating nitrogen oxides NOX is dirty, toxic smog.

The Injection: Before the exhaust hits the converter, a chemical precursor (like urea, my setup an aqueous ammonia blend) is sprayed directly into the hot exhaust stream.

The Reaction: The extreme heat vaporizes the liquid into active ammonia gas (NH3)

The Catalyst Mesh: The exhaust mixed with ammonia passes through a honeycomb structure coated in metals (the catalyst).
This coating acts like a chemical matchmaker it lowers the energy needed for the ammonia and toxic NOX react with each other.

The Clean Output: The catalyst forces the toxic NOX molecules and ammonia to swap atoms instantly. Instead of poisonous gas coming out of the tailpipe, it breaks everything down into standard pure nitrogen gas (N2) and water vapor (H20), the exact stuff that already makes up most of the air we breathe.

So what we can possibly get out of this is, more power, better reliability, 0 carbon deposits, greater thermal efficiency and almost 0 to complete 0 emissions.

While pure ammonia presents challenges with flame velocity, volatility, and synthesis, combining a low-concentration aqueous ammonia base with ammonium nitrate significantly stabilizes the mixture and optimizes energy density. This engineered blend tempers the combustion rate, supporting controlled expansion and improved thermal efficiency without sacrificing structural reliability.

To overcome the lower power density inherent to aqueous solutions, the VC 200 secondary injection system introduces atomized nitrous oxide directly into the intake port. This provides a localized, oxygen-rich environment that radically enhances nitrogen-based oxidation and peak thermal energy right at the intake port.

The primary timeline constraint for the VC 200 prototype is not mechanical assembly, it is the precision required in fuel chemical balance, safety compliance, and the sourcing of restricted high-concentration compounds. Real-world zero-emission combustion engineering requires methodical testing, strict chemical handling, and precise component sourcing.

How nitrous oxide N20 actually delivers power. When injected, extreme combustion heat breaks N20 down into nitrogen and oxygen. That sudden influx of dense oxygen allows significantly more fuel to burn, creating a massive leap in cylinder pressure and combustion force.

Still...he needs NOS!

If I'm not in the garage building zero-emission tech or prototyping, you can catch me on Forza Horizon every chance I get during downtime.

Threaded inductive proximity sensor - Widely used in industrial automation, CNC machines, and engine prototyping to detect metal objects without physical contact.

You can thread one into a custom bracket near a crankshaft or flywheel to pick up passing teeth or timing notches, feeding precise positional data straight into an ECU (Engine Computer Unit) to track RPM and trigger ignition or valve timing events.

I didn't start down this path to stroke an ego or chase a trend. Long before I had the words to explain it—back when I was seven years old, watching the world through the quiet lens of old movie scenes—cars weren't just toys to me; they were an absolute certainty of purpose. While others played, I was already trying to figure out what my place in this life would be.

Through every heartbreak, betrayal, and hard-fought lesson, that childhood clarity never faded. I envisioned a future where I could build a business of my own, where my children could walk into a garage and see their daddy working on cars, knowing that some of those machines would one day be theirs.

People look at the modern automotive landscape and assume the internal combustion engine is a relic destined to die out—that electric vehicles loaded with resource-heavy manufacturing footprints, or heavy, low-efficiency hydrogen cars, or carbon-neutral biofuels that still leave the environment unchanged, are the only way forward. I refused to accept that.

Developing a true, zero-carbon fuel source without relying on petroleum or sacrificing power is, by far, the hardest thing I have ever tackled. But this isn't about showing off. It is about honoring a gift, keeping a lifelong promise to myself, and engineering a solution that won't just save the internal combustion engine—it will change the automotive industry forever.
