Any used car - "Sibra" Nanocarbon lubricant - AlexCCC

Hello dear visitors of the forum. I would like to tell you something about the unique development of Russian scientists. Nanocarbon lubricant for used cars to improve the engine and prolong its life. The lubricant is patented and tested in the harsh conditions of Siberia.

Characteristics

Nanocarbon lubricant "Sibra" is designed for the treatment of friction surfaces, friction units of machine parts and mechanisms, in order to ensure wear resistance, reduce friction coefficients and increase the service life. The active components of the suspension are powders of nanocarbon materials, the technology of which is protected by patents. The suspension is intended for use as an additive in oils for normal and forced operation:

- gasoline internal combustion engines;

-diesel engine;

- car transmissions (except automatic transmissions);

- friction and rolling bearings;

- at operation of any industrial equipment having friction units.

The suspension is a product of industrial technical application and can be used in mechanical engineering, aircraft engineering, shipbuilding and other industries. Lubricant "Sibra" contains a set of purified nanoparticles of carbon materials.
Lubricant:
does not contain metal particles

does not form precipitation during storage,

does not contribute to chemical or electrochemical corrosion,

not delayed in filters.

It has a high welding force (the value depends on the concentration of nanoparticles)It is recommended to use in the internal combustion engine, transmission, (except automatic), gearboxes.How to use: pour in the oil in the ratio of 1: 100 (for 1l of oil 10 ml of suspension)Note: oil when pouring should produce no more than 30% of its resource.

Ash content,%, not more than ----------------------------------------------------0.1

Filterability,%---------------------------------------------------------------------- 100

The size of the aggregates of nanoparticles, microns, not more than---------- 1

Water content and water soluble impurities,% --------------------------- missing
Anti-wear properties (reduction of contact wear),%, not less than --------1000

Specific weight, g / cm3 --------------------------------------------------0.98 ... 1.1

Mass fraction of mechanical impurities,%, no more -------------------- missing

Mechanism of action

Due to the friction energy, nanoparticles form an additional protective layer on the friction surface, consisting of nanoparticle degradation products and lubricating oil. The layer thickness is determined by the composition of the nanoparticles, the values of specific pressures and impurities in the oil. The thickness of the protective layer is microns and it partially compensates for the wear of the friction surface.

The result of applying nano-carbon lubricant "Sibra"

1. The absence of negative manifestations.

2. Increase the service life (motors, gearboxes, bearings).

3. Increase the degree of compression in the internal combustion engine.

4. Reduced fuel consumption.

5. Reducing internal friction losses.

6. Easier start of ICE at low temperatures.

7. In some cases, there is a decrease in oil consumption, improvement of the operation of fuel equipment.

8. Reducing the concentration of carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases (which is most relevant for large cities).

A positive result persists for 30-50 thousand kilometers of the car.

Laboratory and industrial tests of carbon lubrication Sibra were conducted at the Harbin Automobile Institute (PRC), in the Nadezhnost center of Samara, at the copper plant of Norilsk Nickel, Rosneft, and in auto service shops in Krasnoyarsk and the Kemerovo region. According to the results of industrial tests, a positive dynamics of engine operation is observed, especially at low temperatures, an increase in the compression ratio, and a decrease in fuel consumption.

The positive effect of lubricants with the use of carbon nanofibers is achieved due to the destruction of the crystalline structure of nanoparticles in places of high local energies. The high quantum of energy released during this process ensures the connection of the products of the destruction of nanoparticles and oil with a metal substrate, forming an additional separation layer.

This reads like pseudo-science. Many claims, little hard evidence.

I'll be giving the product a miss.

All this of course is true, nano, extra and so on. but what to do if the tone of something good (or pseudo good) is set up by such consoles ... Here are the people, scientists who invented the technology from which the tractor on oil springs in severe Siberia, where the temperature drops to 50 degrees (Celsius) murmured engines like a stream.) with proper operation of course. They considered that their invention, or how else it is impossible not to designate as NANO. Let's forgive them this tribute to marketers and move on to the facts. Tests have been going since 2007. On different cars. Cars, buses, trucks. Most of the tests were to increase and align the compression in the cylinders, which gave an increase from 0.5 to 3 kg / cm2. All this led to an increase in the engine's reduced power and, consequently, to a decrease in fuel consumption. As well as more stable engine performance.

Some documents are attached. (It is a pity that you can not insert pictures)

Even allowing for language problems and the possible use of Google Translate, this is desperately thin in terms of statistical evidence.

How many cars, buses, trucks? Which manufacturers/types of engine? What testing was done? How? How often? How is it that increased compression leads "to an increase in the engine's reduced power"? (I take that means an increase in power. Why would a lubricant - of any sort - lead to increased compression?) What does "more stable engine performance" actually mean?

I appreciate that Alex has taken the trouble to come back to us, but I suggest he doesn't have much of a clue in terms of motor engineering, nor of facts and figures.

Why would a lubricant - of any sort - lead to increased compression?)

Oil helps seal the piston rings. Nothing controversial (or innovative) about that. I dunno why fine particles would help with that but I suppose they might.

If they reduced bore wear, which seems reasonable, that'd also improve compression compared to a more worn engine,

Your other comments are of course valid, though they'd be applicable to much of the "product information" coming from many of the established, respectable manufacturers in the lubrication field. Advertising and science aren't usually beneficially mixed .

I think I've heard of lubricant developments using "nano-particles" in the form of fullarenes ("bucky-balls"). If these are those, I'd say, at least intuitively, that they had potential, but I've got a lot of 15W40 to use up first.

Whenever I read or hear the word 'nano' on an advert (rather like 'pro-vitamin' on shampoo ads), I know its fake science. Just like HHO generators, magnets on gas pipes, etc, etc.
