Abstract

This device changes liquid fuel to a usable gas state for combustion purposes.
Transformation to a state of gas rather than liquid for this purpose creates a much better fuel for combustion.
This device provides an intimate mixture of fuel in its liquid form with air to create (perfect) (the most combustible)state of this gas.
The information in the accompanying package explains the design and features responsible for this production of the gas.
This unit will produce a much more efficient fuel for combustion at all levels, than is presently done with liquid fuel.

Description

Fuel Saver/Collector Principal This system introduces air to aid in the evaporation of liquid fuel and decomposition of solid matter. This process creates a gas/vapour suitable for combustion. Once gas/vapour is created it can be used for fuel for transportation, heat sources such as burners and torches or many other systems requiring gas/vapour fuel. An important characteristic of the system is that the orifices creating bubbles are at a staggered position. This staggered position helps to prevent small bubbles from mixing into larger bubbles. This helps to maintain maximum surface area with air fuel mixture. It is necessary for liquid levels and air traveling into system remain the same to maintain constant mixture for combustion. Gasoline applications transformed into this state for use of combustion will lessen the impact of attaining fossil fuels as well as conserve fuel supplies. Clean burning characteristics of the Fuel Saver/Collector create far less hydrocarbons then burning liquid fuel, and would lessen the environmental impact greatly.
It is of important note to differentiate previous or other methods of creating gas/vapour by heat alone or by shaking beating or agitating will not maintain the intimate mixture of the gas/vapour. These characteristics are what set the Fuel Saver/Collecter apart from other vaporizing methods.
How it works Air is drawn or forced through the liquid or material.
Material and liquid levels are maintained and remain constant.
Air pressures and volume remain constant.
Liquid and solid material is transformed into a gas/vapour.
Gas/vapour drawn from the liquid and solid matter is combustible.
Gas/vapour created remains at a constant combustible level.
Gas/vapour drawn from system is used for combustion purposes.
Prototypes Two prototypes have been built and tested with successful results. Automotive design ran on a five liter eight cylinder engine obtaining excellent mileage.
Smaller prototype tested converted liquid gasoline into gas/vapour and was used to operate common burner and cutting torch. An air quality monitor was used during burner operation and measured no dangerous gas or combustion byproducts.

Applications Internal combustion Engines.
This will include all automotive transportation including trains, busses, airplanes and marine applications. Trucks heavy equipment and industrial equipment used for any application driven by gas or diesel engines. Engines running on the Fuel saver/collector will burn much cleaner and not require expensive emission control equipment, such as the catalytic converter or exhaust gas return systems. Fuel Saver/Collector System will run any small engine, including motorcycles, mowers, saws and generators for electrical energy. All internal combustion engines running on the system will create far less emissions and burn approximately ten percent of the fuel they normally burn.
Burner Gas/vapour drawn with system can be used for many applications requiring flame. Torches, heaters, boilers, stationary generators and any equipment normally operating on gasoline, propane, natural gas, diesel fuel, white gas, kerosene or any other liquid and gas fuel. Heating units using powdered coal, such as generators in a generation plant could in principal be operated using the Fuel Saver/ Collector with either a liquid fuel or methane source.
Methane production.
Fuel Saver/ Collector installed in a stationary position can be used to transform liquid manure from Farm industry raising livestock such as Pigs, turkeys and chicken. Using the system to convert liquid manure into methane, can supply generators, boilers, heaters, furnaces and grain dryers, used for day to day operation of the Farm. In the event that agitation is regular in a liquid manure storage tank, the gas/vapour may be confined above the tank and drafted off the surface.
Alterations and changes All aspects of the fuel saver/collector can be changed in design and size to accommodate production of gas/vapour. Air can be introduced by pressure or drawn in by a vacuum or other means of air movement. Air used for the system can be pumped into it or supplied from a storage tank and made mobile.
Material used in the development and methods used to mix the air and liquid or solid may change as long as the outcome is the same. The system built to operate a small generator on gasoline will be much smaller and require less costs and time in development than what will be needed for a full farm methane operation.

Claims

Fuel Saver/Collector The Fuel Saver/ Collector is a device that transforms liquid fuel to a gas fuel for better combustion purposes. This gas fuel is used at the same mixture level and reproduced at the same values for additional combustion. This gas fuel development will remain constant as long as the liquid fuel is available.
I Claim- The Fuel Saver/ Collector will reduce fuel consumption on the Global market to a fraction of what it is today.
I Claim- The Fuel Saver/Collector will reduce greenhouse gasses on a Global level to a small percentage of what is presently created by the burning of fossil fuels.
I Claim- The Fuel Saver/Collector will transform decomposing material into a usable fuel product for combustion, rather than emitting methane into the atmosphere.
