US Patent:

43579264, Nov 9, 1982

Filed:

Sep 13, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/722601

Inventors:

Thomas E. Quick - Wichita KS

International Classification:

F02M 3100

US Classification:

123545

Abstract:

For the purpose of increasing internal combustion engine efficiency and of decreasing the polluting content of the engine exhaust, the present invention centrifuges a conventionally produced liquid fuel-air mixture to separate and maintain the liquid content thereof in contact with a heated surface to collect latent heat energy until the same is evaporated and then using the molecular spreading energy forces to attain substantially equally spaced fuel vapor molecules among all of the equally spaced air molecules as they move into the combustion chamber of the engine, to thereby assure a more complete molecular fuel-air mixture, for more complete, efficient and pollution emission free combustion.

International Classification:

F02M 3100

US Classification:

123548

Abstract:

Carbonation enhancer having a cylindrical shell that is closed at one end by an envolute wall spaced from the inner end of a withdrawal tube, the output stream of a conventional carburetor is directed tangentially into space between the shells and caused to move in a spiral path toward the envolute closure wall by a spiral vane in the space and on reaching the envolute wall to move radially inwardly and into the inner end of the withdrawal tube to travel axially in a direction opposite that of the spiral path with the stream exiting the tube to enter the inlet manifold of the engine. Waste engine heat is applied to the exterior of the cylindrical shell in an amount sufficient to vaporize liquid fuel droplets centrifuged thereagainst from the stream as the latter traverses the spiral path portion of its travel from the carburetor to the intake manifold.
