Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to a fuel comprising one or more nitrogenous compounds and one or more stabilizer compounds. The stabilizer compounds are compatible with the one or more nitrogenous compounds.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A fuel, comprising:
 one or more nitrogenous compounds; and   one or more stabilizer compounds, compatible with the one or more nitrogenous compounds.   
   
   
       2 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more nitrogenous compounds comprises one or more of hydrazine hydrate, hydrazine azide, unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (UDMH), monomethyl hydrazine (MMH), urea, ammonia and hydrazine. 
   
   
       3 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more nitrogenous compounds comprise hydrazine. 
   
   
       4 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more stabilizer compounds comprise ammonia, ammonium hydroxide, ammonium cyanide, urea, hydrazine hydrate, unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (UDMH), monomethyl hydrazine (MMH) and alcohols. 
   
   
       5 . The fuel of  claim 4 , wherein alcohols comprise ethanol, isopropanol or combinations thereof. 
   
   
       6 . The fuel of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more energy enhancing compounds. 
   
   
       7 . The fuel of  claim 6 , wherein the one or more energy enhancing compounds comprises petroleum products, metal hydrides, hydrazine azide or combinations thereof. 
   
   
       8 . The fuel of  claim 7 , wherein the petroleum products comprise gasoline, diesel, kerosene or combinations thereof. 
   
   
       9 . The fuel of  claim 7 , wherein the gasoline comprises octane, heptane, hexane and combinations thereof. 
   
   
       10 . The fuel of  claim 7 , wherein the metal hydrides comprise boron hydrides. 
   
   
       11 . The fuel of  claim 10 , wherein the boron hydrides comprise pentaborane, hexaborane, decaborane and combinations thereof. 
   
   
       12 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more nitrogenous compounds comprise about 10% of the volume of the fuel. 
   
   
       13 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more nitrogenous compounds comprise about 20% of the volume of the fuel. 
   
   
       14 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more nitrogenous compounds comprise about 30% of the volume of the fuel. 
   
   
       15 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more nitrogenous compounds comprise about 40% of the volume of the fuel. 
   
   
       16 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more nitrogenous compounds comprise about 50% of the volume of the fuel. 
   
   
       17 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more nitrogenous compounds comprise about 60% of the volume of the fuel. 
   
   
       18 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more nitrogenous compounds comprise about 70% of the volume of the fuel. 
   
   
       19 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more nitrogenous compounds comprise about 80% of the volume of the fuel. 
   
   
       20 . The fuel of  claim 1 , wherein the fuel is compatible with and use to power land-based vehicles, water-based vehicles, air-based vehicles and stationary power plants. 
   
   
       21 . The fuel of  claim 20 , wherein land-based vehicles comprise motor vehicles, automobiles, trucks, buses, trains, motorcycles and construction equipment. 
   
   
       22 . The fuel of  claim 20 , wherein water-based vehicles comprise ships, boats and hovercraft. 
   
   
       23 . The fuel of  claim 20 , wherein air-based vehicles include turbojet aircraft, turboprop aircraft, scram jet vehicles and reciprocating engine aircraft. 
   
   
       24 . A fuel, comprising:
 hydrazine and   urea.   
   
   
       25 . The fuel of  claim 24 , wherein the hydrazine comprises about 10% to about 80% of the fuel volume. 
   
   
       26 . The fuel of  claim 24 , further comprising monomethyl hydrazine (MMH). 
   
   
       27 . The fuel of  claim 24 , further comprising hydrazine hydrate. 
   
   
       28 . The fuel of  claim 24 , further comprising one or more alcohols. 
   
   
       29 . The fuel of  claim 24 , further comprising one or more metal hydrides. 
   
   
       30 . The fuel of  claim 24 , further comprising fuel additives. 
   
   
       31 . The fuel of  claim 30 , wherein the fuel additives comprises an odor modifier. 
   
   
       32 . A method of using a fuel, comprising:
 introducing a fuel to an engine, the fuel comprising:
 one or more nitrogenous compounds; 
 one or more stabilizer compounds, compatible with the one or more nitrogenous compounds; and 
   operating the engine.
