term machine implies the work being done is physical, not chemical. It's a rotating drum system as opposed to a fluidized bed reactor, so there is a MACHINE component to the reactor.
unpatented super seceret catalyst might infringe on the intellectual property from all the previous work in this field. I'm sure he's using some type of Zeolite
The unexpired patents that I have seen are very narrow. Iwould not sweat that detail. We can discuss patent law - US or Europe - at a non-licenced level all you like. I have averaged three filed a year for 7 years with a 100% success rate.
The yield of gasoline fraction is also considerable and although its composition is not suitable for commercial gasoline, is interesting for its use in petrochemistry. The catalyst deactivation rate is low.
7.5% "gasoline", so 70+% deisel. Even if the gasoline was not fuel worthy (but they stated since feb that it passed ASTM tests?) the petrochemical feedstock value is comparable to the WTIC value, so no loss there.
You realise that catalyst deactivation is a bad thing and a low rate of catalyst deactivation is a good thing?
