Abstract

An exhaust gas treatment system comprises a vacuum device, preferably comprising propeller blades 12, which suck exhaust fumes (3, figure 3) from the exit of an exhaust pipe (1, figure 3), along with cooling air, through a filter 11 which catches carbon and soot particles before releasing the gases to the atmosphere through an exit pipe 8. The cooling air acts to condense some of the gases which are then collected in a collection tank 15 to be disposed of when necessary through a drain 17. The propeller blades are powered by a drive belt system 3 connected to the flywheel of an engine.

Description

Fossil fuel operated engine pollution reducer This invention is to help

reduce the amount of harmful toxins released into the apmassphere from any type fossil fuel operated engine.

Which is used to drive transport such as a car or a bus or train or even an aeroplane, This invention could be incorporated in the manufacture process of any type of fossil operated engine or engine driven transport.

This invention can also be installed in some forms of fossil fuel operated transport or engine after the manufacture process, depending on certain factors regarding that particular type of transport or engine.

This invention is a vacuum which works by capturing the harmful toxins as they leave the egsaust system of which ever form of transport or engine it may be, The way this invention captures toxins leaving the egsaust system, is by sucking them back through a suction pipe along with cool air and actually through the vacuum and also through a filter and are then and are then blown back through another pipe to the rear of the egsaust system, or where ever is suitable and then released into the apmassphere with a reduced amount of harmful toxins so as to have less impact on the environment.

The vacume can be powered by electricity or by a drivebelt system using the engines flywheel which produce enough revolutions per minute to create a powerful vacume, the filter which at present is a flannel type filter is very breathable, which you can blow through with your mouth very easy, this prevents the filter from becoming too congested too quickly which is mostly there to capture carbon and soot particals,the filter can be washed and reused.

This invention sucks cold air aswell as the egsaust fumes back through the suction pipe to the vacume which helps to condence some of the harmful gas or fumes into liquid,and most of which is sucked into the vacume,which can then exit the vacume floor through a small drain pipe into a collection tank, which is part of the vacumes structure and has a removable drain plug on the under side so it can be emptied when its required to do so.

This invention has no impact on the performance of the engine or transport whatsoever, and is to be used in conjuncsion with fuel operated engines, such as petrol, deisel and oil.

This vacume can be built to any size required, and is not for collecting dust debrey or dirt, it is for reduceing engine fumes and toxins.

If this invention were to used on a large scale it would play a large in reducemg global warming aswell as global dimming, and would give us much cleaner air to breath, especially in our buisey towns and cities where trafic fumes are a problem.

This invention will now be described using the accompanying drawings in which, Figure 1 shows the vacume fitted along side an engine and being powered by a drive belt system which is not to scale, Figure 2 shows the vacume its self from a side angel showing the inside of the vacume, Figure 3 shows the ends of the egsaust system and the ends of the suction pipe and the exit pipe.p In figure 1, the vacuum 1, is fit next to an engine 2, and is powered by a drive belt 3, from the engine flywheel 4, which turns the spindle 5, which has propella blades on the spindle inside the vacuum caseing 6, which creates the vacuum and also creates a blowing affect so as to suck from the inlet pipe 7, and blow out of the exit pipe 8, the vacuum I, is acessable by unscrewing the four wing nuts 9, so the filter can be removed and the inside of the vacuum can be maintained.

In figure 2, the flannel type filter 10, can be seen inside the vacuum, which is held in place by a frame 11, so it cant be pulled towards the propella blades 12, which are attached to the spindle 5, which is supported where the spindle 5, goes through the vacuum caseing 6, and through a sleave 13, which is held by a support 14, to keep the spindle 5, in place.

Underneath the vacuum I, is the collection tank IS, which shows a small drain pipe 16, leading into the collection tank 15, which is so any condenced gases captured in the vacuum I, are able to drain into the collection tank 15, which can be emptied by opening the drain plug 17, on the bottom of the collection tank 15, Figure 3, shows the ends of the egsaust system I, and the suction pipe 2, which sucks back the egsaust fumes 3, as they exit the egsaust system 1, and then sucks them back along with cool air through the vacuum, and in doing so helps to condence and filter some of the harmful toxins in the process, and is then blown down the exit pipe 4, and released into the apmassphere 5,

Claims

1, A fossil fuel operated engine pollution reducer is a vacuum, which is powered the engine using a drive belt, or can be powered by an electric motor, and which is to be used in conjunction with fossil fuel operated engines which give off harmful emmisions which we know as greenhouse gases and carbon and sulther, this vacuum the harmful gas and toxins along with cool air back from where they exit the engines egsaust system, and then through a filter and at the same time helps to condence some of the harmful gases into a liquid form, aswell as capturing soot and carbon deposits in the filter which can be cleaned and reused,the vacuum has no impact on the performance of the engine whatsoever.

2 A fossil fuel operated engine pollution reduceing vacuum according to claim I, is operated by a drive belt which is connected to the engines flywheel centre, and to the exterior of the vacuum which turns a spindle which then rotates the propella blades inside the vacuum, and which then creates a vacuum aswell as a blowing affect, which allows the vacuum to suck from the end of the egsaust system through the suction pipe, and through the filter which is inside the vacuum caseing against where the suction pipe joins the vacuum, these fumes are then blown out when they pass through the propella blades, with a reduced amount of harmful toxins and are then blown down the exit pipe and are released into the air.

3 A fossil fuel operated engine pollution reduceing vacuum according to claim 2, helps to condence some of the harmful gases which are sucked back through the suction pipe, with some of the condenced gases been able to drain into a collection tank, which is part of and underneath the vacuum, which has a drain plug so it can be emptied when nessesery, aswell as some of the condenced gases draining from the ends of the suction and exit pipes.
