Abstract

The device fits in an air intake passage and consists of a cylinder having angled fins protruding inwardly. The device may be made from sheet material, eg by making incisions in a flat sheet, bending the fins away from the sheet and rolling the sheet to form a cylinder, or by injection moulding. The fins create a vortex to improve mixing of the fuel and air which gives better fuel consumption, reduced pollution, less carbon deposit in the combustion chambers and better performance.

Description

THE GREEN ONE This invention relates to a device to be inserted into the air intake of a car as part of the carburation system of the internal combustion engine in order to bring about a more efficient mixture of the air and petroleum being injected. The more thoroughly the oxygen containing the air is mixed with the petroleum spirit he better the gasification and, in consequence, the better the burn.

To a slight degree the input of the mixture going into the combustion cylinder is influenced by the 'Coriolis' effect whereby the rotation of the earth induces in the Northern Hemisphere a clockwise spiralling of liquids (as can be seen in an emptying bath). My invention is designed to enhance this effect through diagonally placing fins protruding into a cylinder made to fit with precise connection in the inner wall of an air intake thus directing the air input as it goes into the petroleum mixture to create a clockwise vortex forcing the mixture to combine better to achieve an optimum blend.

By having this system fitted a car should have :1) A better fuel return resulting from a more efficient burn.

Average miles per gallon in an average saloon car should be increased by about 13.5%, a considerable improvement in efficiency.

2) A cleaner engine with less waste carbon deposit in the combustion chambers and elsewhere resulting from unburnt fuel.

3) A cleaner environment effect with fewer unspent hydrocarbons being voided into the atmosphere.

4) Better turbo like acceleration through an improved response.

5) Oxygen output up to 22 times greater than without "The Green One" inserted. (See example below) 6) Hydrocarbons polution without The Green One up to 550% greater. (See example below) READINGS BEFORE INSERTING "-THE GREEN ONE" CO ................... 0.33 percent HC ................... 324 P.P.M.

Claims

1. A device to be inserted into the air intake of an internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder made to fit precisely in the inner wall of the air intake and having diagonal fins protruding into the cylinder for directing the air input to create a vortex forcing the mixture to combine better.

2. A device according to claim 1 made from a sheet material or by injection moulding.
