The cover bag 26 has an insertion hole 26A formed therein so that the first copper plate 12, the rubber plate 14, the second copper plate 16, the capacitor 18, the third copper plate 20, and the like can be stored therein. A tongue piece 28 projects from one end of the cover bag 26, and a hole 28A is formed in the tongue piece 28.
On the other hand, a projection 28B protrudes from the other end of the cover bag 26 so as to be inserted into the hole 28A.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.

Engine efficiency combustion assist device 1 according to the present invention
0 is the first copper plate 12 when attached to the air intake pipe 32 of the diesel engine 30 mounted on the automobile.
Is wrapped around the air suction pipe 32 (for example, around a synthetic resin air duct between the air cleaner and the engine (see FIG. 4) so that the airbag is on the air suction pipe 32 side. A projection 28B is fitted into a hole 28A of the tongue piece 28 to attach the engine efficiency combustion assisting device 10 to the air intake pipe 32. The other end 24B of the ground wire 24 is fixed to a vehicle body (not shown).

When the diesel engine 30 is started, air flows into the air suction pipe 32 as shown by an arrow in FIG. And triboelectric charge is generated.

At this time, the triboelectric charge generated in the air duct portion of the air suction pipe 32 is transferred to the first copper plate 12, the rubber plate 14, and the second copper plate 1 wound around the air duct portion.
6 and the first copper plate 1
A second capacitance portion formed by the capacitor 18 connected between the second and second copper plates 16 and a third capacitance portion formed by the second copper plate 16, the plastic tape 22, and the third copper plate 20; As a result, a triboelectric charge is formed and held on the inner wall surface of the air duct portion of the air suction pipe 32.

Here, since the third copper plate 20 is electrically connected to the vehicle body via the ground wire 24,
The potential of the inner wall surface of the air duct portion of the air suction pipe 32 is maintained at a potential corresponding to the amount of charge stored in the first, second, and third capacitance portions with reference to the potential of the vehicle body.

Thus, when the inhaled air passes through the air duct portion of the air intake pipe 32 where the engine efficiency combustion assist device 10 is attached, the agglomerated molecules of the agglomerated molecules contained in the inhaled air are removed. Are attracted to the triboelectric charges held on the inner wall surface of the air duct portion and are separated, so that the charged molecules are separated from the aggregated state and dispersed.

At this time, the electrons released from the molecules in the aggregated state neutralize the triboelectric charge on the inner wall surface of the air duct portion, and the first, second and third capacitance portions are charged accordingly. Although the electric charge disappears, even in this state, the flow of air through the air duct portion causes the generation of new frictional charges in the air duct portion, and thus the neutralized triboelectric charges are formed on the inner wall surface of the air duct portion. The amount of triboelectric charge determined based on the balance between the amount of triboelectric charge and the amount of generated triboelectric charge is formed and held.

As a result, the agglomerated molecules contained in the inhaled air are formed and held on the inner wall surface of the air duct by the engine efficient combustion assisting device 10 attached to the air duct. Due to the triboelectric charge, it is dispersed from the agglomerated state and sent to the combustion chamber 36 of the diesel engine 30.

Accordingly, the combustion efficiency can be improved by reducing the incomplete combustion in the combustion chamber 36, whereby the emission of carbon, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and the like can be suppressed. .

As a result, the amount of carbon monoxide decreases and the exhaust gas becomes clean, so that carbon is less likely to be deposited in the combustion chamber 36 and the fuel consumption is reduced by more than 10%. In addition, when the engine efficiency combustion assisting device 10 according to the present invention is attached to the air intake pipe 32 or the fuel intake pipe of the diesel engine 30, it is possible to particularly suppress the generation of black smoke and to smoothly rotate the diesel engine 30. There are advantages.

A capacitor 18 is attached to the inner side surface 16B side. The first projecting one end of the capacitor 18
The terminal 18A is fixed to the inner side surface 12B of the first copper plate 12 by soldering. The second terminal 18B protruding from the other end of the capacitor 18 is connected to the second copper plate 16

When passing through the air duct portion to which the second engine efficiency combustion assist device 50 is attached, the agglomerated molecular electrons contained in the inhaled air are attracted to the triboelectric charges held on the inner wall surface of the air duct portion. As a result, the charged molecules are separated from the aggregated state and dispersed.

At this time, the electrons released from the molecules in the aggregated state neutralize the frictional charges on the inner wall surface of the air duct portion, and the charges charged in the first and second capacitance portions disappear by this amount. However, even in this state, due to the air flowing through the air duct portion, the generation of new triboelectric charges continues in the air duct portion, and thus the amount of neutralized triboelectric charges is generated on the inner wall surface of the air duct portion. An amount of triboelectric charge determined based on equilibrium with triboelectric charge is retained.

As a result, the agglomerated molecules contained in the inhaled air are converted into triboelectric charges held on the inner wall surface of the air duct by the engine efficiency combustion assisting device 50 attached to the air duct. Thus, the fuel is separated from the agglomerated state and sent to the combustion chamber 36 of the diesel engine 30.
