Abstract
A fuel additive comprising a core polar material blended with a stabilizing and enhancing combustive mixture, which pairing is further combined with a base combustive fuel, to form a synthetic fuel that, in an internal combustion engine, releases and combines combustive and detonative potential energy so as to produce more effective torque on the engine's drive piston than can be obtained from combustion alone. The base combustive fuel's heat energy not used to work the IC engine synergistically powers the fuel additive's solvation and detonative or explosive endothermic reactions.
