A Study of the Energy Efficiency of Hadronic Reactors of Molecular Type

In this paper, we introduce an estimate of the ”commercial efficiency” of Santilli’s hadronic reactors of molecular type [1] (Patented and International Patents Pending) which convert a liquid feedstock (such as automotive antifree and oil waste, city or farm liquid waste, crude oil, etc.) into the clean burning magnegas plus heat acquired by the liquid feedstock. The conversion is done via a new process based on a certain flow of the liquid feedstock through a submerged electric arc between carbon-base electrodes and other features. The ”commercial efficiency” is defined as the ratio between the total energy output (energy in magnegas plus heat) and the electric energy used for its production, while the ”scientific efficiency” is the usual ratio between the total energy output and the total energy input (the sum of the electric energy plus the energy in the liquid feedstock as well as that in the carbon electrodes). Needless to say, the scientific efficiency is always smaller than one because of the conservation of energy. However, a peculiar features of Santilli’s hadronic reactors of molecular type is that their commercial efficiency is considerably
