Abstract
Modifying existing commercial jet engine technology to leverage the temperature and pressure available in the combustion of kerosene A-1 jet fuel (or other fuels) to include the Haber process (or other industrial processes requiring high temperatures and high pressures) presents possibilities for the creation of ammonia and other down-stream compounds suitable for atmospheric seeding of reflective or absorptive compounds. Compounds such as ammonia and urea (or other compounds—as time goes on) provide alternatives to high-altitude (20 km) seeding of sulfur dioxide (which is destructive to atmosphere, vegetation, and ozone alike). Additionally, the changes required to existing engine technology analogous to adding a catalytic converter to the exhaust system of a car, provide, through the leveraging of the strong chemical bond of atmospheric nitrogen (N2), additional overall energy output to the engine system (through heat) and the production of a potentially combustible liquid or gas (ammonia and down-stream ammonia compounds or other compounds) which could be used as a downstream fuel source by the engine itself.
