Varied embodiments of a container/dispenser having a multi-chamber bellows member having a plurality of collapsible bellows chambers allowing more than one substance to be contained within the container and simultaneously dispensed when a sufficient axial force is exerted on a platform to compress the bellows member forcing flowable materials from each chamber. In an alternative embodiment, the present invention discloses a retrofit multi-chambered bellows container, which may be adapted to a standard caulking tube container.

A method for the continuous production of an improved diesel fuel, having enhanced ignition characteristics, more particularly with a greater electric conductivity, enhanced cetane numbers and lubricity and with greater percentage of complete combustion, resulting in less soot production and NOx reduction at the same time in an internal combustion diesel engine, breaking the tradeoff in the emission of those two pollutants from an internal combustion diesel engine.

In some examples, a mixing device is configured to receive a fluid flow in an inlet section and accelerate the fluid flow in a nozzle section fluidically coupled to the inlet section. The nozzle device is configured to discharge the fluid flow to an outlet section. The outlet section includes one or more suction ports configured to draw a material into the fluid flow via the suction ports. In some examples, the mixing device is configured to be secured to a container configured to hold a medical solution comprising the fluid flow and the material. In some examples, the mixing device is included in a mixing system configured to produce a medical solution.
