ADDO® - Additive to Motor Oils

Product Testing Results

NanoDiamond: Genesis

ADDO® is based on a mixture of NanoDiamond and

NanoGraphite. The original soot is produced via

detonation synthesis of the explosives mixture. The

average particle size is 4 nm (0,000004 mm).

Detonation of explosives mixture at

a specific gas atmosphere in a

detonation chamber.

Special preparation of explosives.

Improves the engine:

- Cures micro- and nano-deffects of the moving parts

and leads to the atomic roughness

- Impregnates metallic surfaces, increases their

hardness and wear resistance

- Improves the motor: decreases dry friction by

keeping a thin oil layer on the motor surfaces also at

higher loads

Effect, %

Mileage, thousand km

The effect (mileage, power) after addition of

ADDO® evelops slower than in the case of oil

modifiers. However, after reaching the maximum,

the effect from ADDO® remains much more

stable, even after oil change.

Running-in and polishing of the rubbing surfaces

shortly after ADDO® addition lead to a minor

increase of the measurable wear. The surface

gets modified within few thousand kilometers and

starts having the wear several times lower than in

the case of standard oil. This effect remains even

after the oil change.

Comparison of ADDO®

with additives of other types

• Contains only carbon particles.

• Doesn´t contain PTFE, sulfides, nitrides, metals,

minerals. Hence, ADDO® is not a „classical“

lubricant.

• Doesn´t lead to formation of corrosive gases

upon degradation / burning.

• Doesn´t lead to formation of artificial coatings on

the loaded surfaces (e.g. on pistons, cylinders)

Test results:

- Dispersancy of ADDO®-containing oil is higher than that of oil without ADDO® .

- The ability to disperse particles in oil is reducing 6 times slower if ADDO® is

present. This indicates much longer service life of oil with ADDO®.

Comparative dispercive ability

Chromatogrames of blotter spots

The main fraction of particles is

eluted.

Dark initial spot and track indicate

the presence of a big amount of

unstabilized (wear) and partially

stabilized particles in oil

without ADDO®.

Contrary to this, the same oil with

ADDO® shows only traces of wear

particles and almost no

chromatographic track.

Short-run stand-tests on the safety of ADDO® for engine and filter

(independently tested by a leading european car manufacturer)

No negative influence of ADDO® on

engine or filter was detected.

the field tests of ADDO®

Translation:

“Dear Dr. Antipov,

Herewith we confirm to you, that the filed trials were performed on buses

of BVG with the engine oil additive “ADDO”.

The tests were performed from October 2008 till March 2009 with 6

treated buses “MAN Lions City DD with an engine D 2866 LUH 51 Euro

4, 228 kW” and 6 similar buses without added engine oil additive.

-During this period, the buses have run ca. 25000 km each.

-No negative impact of ADDO on the engines could be registered.

-According to the test sequence, a measurable fuel economy could be

registered, which will be quantified within the future tests.

With best regards”

Results

No negative influence of ADDO® was registered. The use of ADDO® is safe.

ADDO® addition leads to fuel economy

Effectiveness of ADDO® increases with the rise of outer temperature. The reason is

the increased fuel consumption due to the parallel heating (only for vehicles with

the separate heating line).

Abrasion of engine is reduced by a factor of 4 after addition of ADDO® .

Investments for ADDO® amortize within 3 months (ca. 10,000 km) after addition of

ADDO® .

The estimated annual economical advantage is EUR 1400 per bus (incl. costs for

ADDO® ).

Four-fold increase of oil life-time can be achieved by the use of ADDO®

Reduction of the content of toxic components in exhaust
