Abstract
CAF‑100 v2.0 “Phoenix‑Eco” is a fully open‑hardware synthetic fuel system that converts water + atmospheric CO₂ + renewable electricity into drop‑in liquid hydrocarbon fuels compatible with all existing gasoline and diesel infrastructure.
This version integrates:
-
Phoenix‑Cracker v2.0 hydrodynamic cavitation reactor
-
VMR Titan v2.5‑T plasma‑acoustic microbubble refiner
-
Solar‑Thermal Direct Air Capture (DAC) using Water System #30
-
Arachne Gen‑3 v3.4.1 “FORTRESS” thermal recycling loop
-
Single‑Atom Iron (Fe‑N‑C) or Fe‑Co catalysts
-
CVNR‑F1.5 molten‑salt fuel conditioning
-
Hydrocarbon Normalization Platform v1.5
This architecture achieves:
-
Fuel cost target: ~$1.20 per liter
-
Yield: ~3× industry standard
-
CO₂ capture cost: –$47/ton
-
Reaction speed: minutes
-
Thermal efficiency: >60%
-
Octane: RON 91–98
-
Cetane: 45–55
All components are buildable using standard machining, welding, or recycled‑polymer 3D printing using the Sanitized Block Gyroid‑Lattice.
