is this something we can integrate into a car's combustion engine?

Not in the combustion chamber. But anywhere else - sure, why not?

I have been adding about a tablespoon of buckyballs to my motor oil for over 5 years and have a consistent gas mileage increase of over 5%. There has been no engine damage from it. It doesn't dispurse well if just added to oil initially. It has to run through the engine. I have cut apart a used oil filter and it does not clump up in the filter.

I'm curious why you believe this could not be used in a combustion chamber? What problems do you foresee?

ScooterG,

I think that, being carbon, the sheets would tend to burn up and go away with the combustion cycle . As the graphene flakes are applied to a surface by "sprinkling on", the stuff would have to be replaced by removing the head to expose the cylinders.

ahhhhhhhh This one hurt my head! This "discovery" has been in use for years. Graphite lubricant is available in dry and fluid.

Yea.. Just another example of so-called ""duh" science" presented under overhyped fancy names...

Science writers desperate to justify their paycheck.
