Catalytic converters are a breakthrough technology that has been in the works for a number of years.
They have had a lot of hype surrounding them over the past couple of years. These devices, when used correctly, can save a company a ton of money on fuel by converting excess CO2 in a typical engine into usable fuel. There have said to be a number of different types of catalytic converters out there, but they are basically used in the same manner. They all operate on the same principles of separating two different chemicals through a process called catalytic electrodialysis.
What is this process?
Basically, an electrical charge is placed on the incoming gases or liquids which will cause them to become water, air, or fuel. These things have different ways of being forced to interact with one another, but ultimately, they will all end up in the same liquid or gas form. What happens here is that the gas or liquid is separated from the other by an electric arc. This separation is what allows these systems to work so effectively. The most common types of these devices are called the MES and the VC or venturi vane catalytic converters.
