The shaft is inclined with respect to the fuel flow direction under the influence of the fuel in the turbulent state, the inclination of the rotation axis is maintained as much as possible, and the ceramic body 3 that rotates on the inclined rotation axis is rotated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings illustrate one embodiment of the present invention and will be described below.

The present embodiment is a combustion device for burning a hydrocarbon fuel, in which a ceramic body 3 is rotatably filled in a fuel passage portion 2 for passing the fuel.

The illustrated combustion apparatus A is provided in the automobile 7.

This combustion apparatus A includes a combustion section 1 for burning fuel, a fuel tank 8 for storing fuel, and the fuel tank 8
And a connecting portion 11 for connecting the combustion portion 1 to each other.

The connecting portion 11 is provided at a predetermined position of the pipe line 12, and a fuel pump 9 for sucking the fuel from the fuel tank 8 to introduce the fuel into the combustion unit 1 is also provided at the predetermined position of the pipe line 12. It comprises a fuel mixing section 10 for mixing the fuel and air at a predetermined mixing ratio, and a fuel efficiency improving section 6 (fuel supply device) in which the ceramic body 3 is filled in the tube body 13.

The fuel efficiency improving section 6 is arranged between the fuel tank 8 and the fuel pump 9. Further, it is better to dispose the fuel efficiency improving section 6 at a position as close to the combustion section 1 as possible.

The ceramic body 3 has a spherical or cylindrical shape.

The ceramic body 3 is porous. Therefore, the contact between the ceramic body 3 and the fuel causes the hydrocarbon molecules constituting the fuel to enter the holes to be in a finely cut state or a semi-cut state (clustering). The improved fuel can reach the combustion section 1.

As the ceramic body 3, one having a property of activating fuel is adopted. Specifically, it is recommended to use geolite and kaolin. These geolites and kaolin emit infrared rays of a specific wavelength (far infrared rays), and it is speculated that the infrared rays also cause the molecules of hydrocarbons (cetane, octane, etc.) that make up the fuel to be finely cut or semi-cut into clusters. It In the present embodiment, each divided pipe body 13a described later is filled with geolite or kaolin, and the divided pipe body 13a filled with this geolite and the divided pipe body 13a filled with kaolin are alternately arranged. It is adopted.

The ceramic body 3 is filled in the divided pipe body 13a described later in a state of being immovable in the length direction of the pipe. In addition, a slight movement of the ceramic body 3 is configured to be allowed.

A tube body 13 filled with this ceramic body 3.
Is made of non-magnetic material such as non-magnetic steel material or vinyl chloride resin. This is because the magnetic flux of the magnets 5a and 5b, which will be described later, acts on the fuel passing through the pipe body 13.

Further, in the fuel efficiency improving portion 6 of the drawing, a plurality of divided pipe bodies 13a are arranged in parallel inside a case body 14 made of aluminum or the like, and the end portions of the divided divided pipe bodies 13a arranged in parallel are arranged. This is a case where they are communicated with each other to form one tube body 13 as a whole.

A spiral recess 4 is provided on the inner wall of the split tube body 13a. It should be noted that the same applies when a convex strip is provided instead of the concave strip 4.

Further, magnets 5a and 5b are arranged outside the split pipe body 13a so as to oppose each other so that the generated magnetic flux is orthogonal to the flow direction of the fuel passing through the split pipe body 13a. More specifically, the magnets 5a and 5b facing each other are divided tube bodies.
The magnets 5a and 5b are arranged above and below 13a, respectively.
Is, for example, the divided tube body 13a side (lower side) of the upper magnet 5a.
Is the N pole, and the lower magnet 5b is S on the side of the split tube 13a (upper side)
It is arranged so that it may become a pole. Therefore, the upper magnet 5
The magnetic flux generated between the N pole of a and the S pole of the lower magnet 5b passes through the tube body 13 in the vertical direction, and the magnetic flux is necessarily perpendicular to the fuel flow direction of the fuel. become.

The fuel flow direction does not mean the flow direction of the fuel at the moment, but in the case of this embodiment, it means the length direction of the pipe (split pipe 13a). Further, the direction orthogonal to the fuel flow direction is the radial direction of the pipe.

The facing magnets 5a and 5b are
A large number are arranged in parallel along the path of the pipe body 13 at predetermined intervals.

According to the structure of this embodiment, it is presumed that the following operational effects are exhibited.

When the fuel is sucked from the fuel tank 8 and passes through the connecting portion 11 by driving the fuel pump 9, the fuel passes through the connecting portion 11 in a turbulent state and a pulsating state.

At this time, since the fuel is in a turbulent state, the ceramic body 3 arranged in the divided pipe body 13 of the fuel efficiency improving portion 6 arranged in the connecting portion 11 is pressed unevenly. More specifically, for example, in FIG. 3, the upper side of the ceramic body 3 is strongly pressed and the lower side is weakly pressed. Therefore, since the upper side of the ceramic body 3 is strongly pressed as compared with the lower side, the self-rotational force in the X direction in FIG. 3 acts, but the ceramic body 3 is weaker than the upper side. However, since the lower side is also pressed, it cannot rotate in the X direction, the rotation axis tilts with respect to the flow direction, the ceramic body 3 rotates in this state, and the ceramic body rotates in this tilted direction. The fuel coming into contact with 3 receives a self-rotational force in a direction inclined from this flow direction and becomes a spiral flow. Therefore, the pulsating flow is eliminated as much as possible and passes through the split pipe body 13a. .

That is, the ceramic body 3 rotatably filled in the divided pipe body 13a eliminates the pulsation of the fuel passing through the divided pipe body 13a in a spiral flow state, so that the rifle bullet has good straightness. For the same reason as above, it is uniformly introduced into the combustion section 1 and high-efficiency combustion in the combustion section 1 is achieved.

Further, the spiral flow of the fuel is divided into the divided pipe bodies 13a.
Is promoted by the groove 4 provided on the inner wall of the
Even higher efficiency combustion will be achieved.

Further, the ceramic body 3 is provided in the divided pipe body 13a.
Therefore, when the fuel passage is narrow and the suction force of the fuel pump 8 is constant, the flow velocity of the fuel passing therethrough is increased due to the narrow passage, and this flow velocity is increased. Therefore, the fuel is strongly sent to the combustion unit 1, and highly efficient combustion is achieved in the combustion unit 1.

Further, since the ceramic body 3 is porous, when the ceramic body 3 comes into contact with the fuel, the molecules of hydrocarbons constituting the fuel penetrate into the pores and form a cluster, which is clustered. Also, since the fuel easily burns, high efficiency combustion in the combustion unit 1 is achieved in this respect as well.

Further, since the ceramic body 3 having the property of activating the fuel is adopted, highly efficient combustion in the combustion section 1 is achieved also from this point. That is, due to the infrared rays or the like having a predetermined wavelength emitted from the ceramic body 3, the hydrocarbon molecules constituting the fuel are likely to be in a cluster state, the fuel is more likely to be burned, and highly efficient combustion is achieved. .

Further, the magnetic force generated from the magnets 5a and 5b arranged outside the divided tube body 13a so as to face each other further promotes the clustering of the hydrocarbon molecules. Also in this case, the fuel is more easily combusted, and high-efficiency combustion is achieved.

The fact that the magnetic fluxes generated from the magnets 5a and 5b are arranged so as to be orthogonal to the fuel flow direction has also been confirmed according to the results of experiments, which leads to highly efficient combustion. .

As described above, since the present embodiment is configured as described above, it is possible to achieve highly efficient combustion in the combustion section 1 to save fuel (reduce fuel consumption) and reduce exhaust gas (clean exhaust gas). The combustion device has excellent practicality.

Further, a tube body filled with the ceramic body 3.
Since 13 is configured such that a plurality of divided pipe materials 13a are arranged in parallel to secure a long path as a whole, a long pipeline in a narrow space, that is, a processing pipeline for highly efficient combustion of fuel is secured. It is possible to achieve this, and in this respect as well, it is excellent in practicality.

The tube body 13 and the magnets 5a and 5b are case bodies.
Since it is covered with 14, the magnetic flux is confined in the case body 14 to increase the magnetic flux density, and the magnets 5a and 5b
In this respect as well, there is no problem such as iron powder adhering to the steel, which is excellent in practicality.

Specific experimental results for confirming the effects of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

The tube body 13 has an inner diameter of 22.1 mm and a length of about 42.
Six 0 mm vinyl chloride split tubes 13a are installed side by side,
The end portions of the six divided pipe bodies 13a are communicated with each other to form a single pipe body 13
A material having a total length of 2500 mm was formed.

Further, a spiral groove is formed on the inner wall of each divided tube body 13a by a spiral process.

A ceramic body 3 is provided in each divided tube body 13a.
As a ball, geolite or kaolin having a diameter of 15.0 to 15.5 mm was filled. Further, the three divided pipes 12a are filled with geolite, the remaining three divided pipes 12a are filled with kaolin, and the six divided pipes 13a are formed.
When the fuel passes through the tubular body 13 formed by, the fuel is alternately passed through the divided tubular body 13a filled with the geolite and the divided tubular body 13a filled with kaolin. The total number of ceramic bodies 3 used is 162.
It is an individual.

The magnets 5a and 5b have a length of 65 mm and a width of 19
A total of 72 pieces (36 pairs) having a thickness of 5 mm and a thickness of 5 mm were arranged above and below the tube body 13 at predetermined intervals. In addition, this magnet 5a
The total magnetic flux of 5b is about 600 to 800 gauss.

The fuel efficiency improving section 6 of this structure was attached to 10 automobiles 7 (including gasoline vehicles and diesel vehicles), and the driver's impressions were heard after 2-3 months. I got several impressions, but the summary is as follows.

A Uphill has become easier. Also, the number of gear changes for powering up has been drastically reduced.

B. Black smoke decreased when starting and changed to white smoke (only for diesel vehicles).

C The sound of the engine was reduced, making it easier to listen to the radio.

D) The sound of the engine was low when taking a nap, and the engine was free from shakes, so that sleeping was smooth (driver of a long-distance truck).

Vibration during idling stopped.

The dirt of cacao oil was reduced. It seems to be about 1/3 of the previous one.

The carbon around the nozzle of the engine cylinder is reduced.

When the change in fuel consumption was confirmed, the results were as follows. The automobile 7 used was a 4-ton truck (displacement 7200 cc, diesel engine) manufactured by Hino Motors.

Before installation of the fuel efficiency improving section 6 From May 3, 2000 to June 4, 2000 Mileage = 9635 km Fuel used = 1798.5 liter Fuel efficiency per liter = 5.3572 km / liter fuel height After installation of the efficiency improvement section 6 From June 4, 2000 to July 3, 2000 Mileage = 9685 km Fuel used = 1567.5 liters Fuel efficiency per liter = 6.1786 km / liter Improving fuel efficiency once installed After removing part 6, from July 3, 2000 to September 18, 2000 Mileage = 20820 km Fuel used = 3892.6 liters Fuel consumption per liter = 5.3486 km / liter Thus, about 15% It was confirmed that fuel consumption was improved.

Further, even in a small diesel van with a displacement of 2000 cc, it was confirmed that the fuel efficiency was improved by about 16%.

It was assumed that the stronger the magnetic flux of the magnets 5a and 5b, the more the exhaust gas turned into white smoke, and thus the closer to complete combustion.

As described above, from the driver's impression and the result of the fuel consumption experiment, it was confirmed that the present embodiment exhibits the effect of highly efficiently burning the fuel in the combustion section 1.

Although the drawing shows the case where the ceramic body 3 is filled in the pipe body 13 which constitutes the fuel efficiency improving portion 6, for example, the pipe line 12 of the connecting portion 11, the pipe body inside the fuel tank, and the like. The ceramics body 3 may be disposed in any place, and in short, the ceramics body 3 may be disposed in any portion through which the fuel passes. Further, the pipe body 13 may be configured, for example, by forming a plurality of branch paths through which fuel passes in an aluminum block and connecting the ends of the branch paths.
