EARL E. PERCEY, OF JEROME, IDAHO.
GAS GENERATOR.
Application filed March exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine for vaporizing the gasoline or combustible liquid to be converted into gas.
A still further object of the invention is to provide means for breaking up the liquid fuel on its passage through the feed pipe.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of'the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the inven tion.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is an elevational view illustrat ing an exhaust manifoldand a gas generating pipe positioned therein, a portion of the manifold being broken away. v
Figure 2 is atransverse sectional view through the manifold.
Figure 3 is a fragmental sectional view taken longitudinally through the gas generating pipe.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 indicates aheatecl gas chamber more especially an exhaust inanifold of an internal combustion engine which is provided with depending fingers 6 and upwardly extended fingers 7 the fingers being disposed in spaced relation with each other and formed with openings to accommodate the gas generating pipe'8.
The ends of the pipe 8 extend beyond the end walls of the manifold 5 where they are supplied with unions 9, the union 9 at one end of the pipe 8 providing means for connecting the feed pipe 10 to the pipe 8, while the union 9 at the opposite end of the pipe 8 provides means for connecting the discharge pipe 11 to the pipe 8.
This pipe 8 provides a housing for the core 12 which is in the form of asbestos or similar fibrous material held in position by means of the helically coiled wire 13, the

spaces between the coilsbeing such as to cause the material or gasoline being forced through the pipe to be bro-ken into fine particles as it passes through the pipe, the heat from the exhaust manifold acting to y'aporize the particles of fuel, and convert the fuel into a highly volatile gas for use in connection with internal combustion engines.
The gasoline or liquid fuel is contained in the tank let which tank is adapted to contain air to the end that the liquid fuel within the tank 14: will be under pressure at all times.
In order that the passage of gas from the pipes 8 and 11 may be regulated, a valve member 15 is provided which may be manually controlled by the operator.
In the operation of the device, the liquid fuel is forced through the pipe 10 which extends below the liquid fuel level in tank 14 with compressed air admitted above the liquid fuel level to cause the liquid fuel to pass upwardly through pipe 10 and into pipe 8. The liquid fuel passing through pipe 8 is gasified and enters pipe 11 in the form of gas. A suitable valve not shown may be positioned in the pipe line 10 to control the passage of liquid fuel therethrough.
The asbestos member 12 becomes saturated with the liquid fuel passing into the pipe 8 whereupon the heat from the hot exhaust gases passing through manifold 5 and the heat from the exhaust gases contacting with the pipe 8 further vaporizes the combustible fuel to the end that the liquid fuel from tank 14 is converted into a combustible gas.
I claim In a liquid fuel vaporizer and gasifier, a heated gas chamber having spaced upwardly extended fingers and spaced depending fingers, said fingers having openings, a gas generating pipe extended through the heating chamber and heltl within the openings of the fingers, a solid core formed of asbestos material supported within the gas generating pipe, said core including a length of wire wound helically around the asbestos material, said core and wire being spaced from the inner surface of the gas generating pipe to provide a liquid fuel gasification space, and an inlet pipe for directing liquid fuel to the gas generating pipe.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature.
EARL E. PERCEY.
