Definitions
- the present invention provides a muffler for internal combustion engines which delivers improved horsepower and/or fuel efficiency over standard mufflers.
- the present invention provides a muffler comprising a rotatable propeller within or adjacent to an expansion chamber to swirl exhaust gas towards the outlet.
- the muffler maintains the sound level of the exhaust within acceptable limits, while delivering improved power and/or fuel efficiency over that of standard mufflers.
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a ⁇ embodiment of a muffler according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is an end view of an embodiment of a muffler according to.the invention.
- Figure 3 is side close-up view of the propeller of an embodiment of a muffler according to the invention.
- Figure 4 is an end close-up view of the propeller of an embodiment a muffler according to the invention.
- Figure 5 illustrates another embodiment of a muffler a « ⁇ rdine to the invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a crossrsectional view along the longitudinal axis of an ernbocjjment of a muffler 10 according to the invention.
- Muffler 10 comprises an outer shell 16 having an inlet 162 at a tapered entry end 14 and an outlet 164 at tapered exit end 34. ha other embodiments, the outer shell has a substantially flat inlet end and/or outlet end.
- Materials used to form mufflers are well-known in the art.
- the muffler casing and the relevant tubes are made from metals such as stainless steel. Methods of attaching the various components are also well-known. For example, coupling points can be formed integrally, or welded ⁇ 5 ⁇ raze .
- Additt ⁇ al emooduhenfs include mufflers having an oval cross-section having a round expansion area' adjacent the propeller.
- the round expansion area may continue throughout the expansion chamber, or can elongate about an axis to conform with the outer oval cross-section.
- An inlet tube 12 is attached at a proximal end 122 to shell 16 at inlet 162.
- a distal end 124 of inlet tube 12 is attached directly or indirectly to an exhaust gas source, such as an internal combustion engine (not shown).
- the interior 126 of inlet tube 12 opens up into an expansion chamber 18 defined by the interior of an expansion chamber tube 20.
- the expansion chamber tube 20 is attached substantially coaxially to outer shell 16. Although shown as attached to the outer shell so that a portion of the outer shell defines expansion chamber, expansion chamber tube 20 can be tapered at its ends, such that its opposing openings may also define inlet 162 and outlet 164.
- expansion chamber tube 20 is attached to outer shell 16 such that the exterior of the expansion chamber tube 20 and the interior of the outer shell 16 combine to define a sound suppression sleeve 22 that surrounds the expansion chamber 18.
- Sound suppression sleeve 22 is packed with known sound suppression materials. Examples of such materials include fiberglass, glass wool, copper wool, copper strands, steel wool, etc. In an embodiment the sound suppression material is fiberglass. Tube 20 is perforated with apertures (not shown) so that the expansion chamber 18 is in communication with the materials in the sound suppression sleeve 21 in an emoQ ⁇ ime h t, tube 20 has about a 50% porosity. In another embodiment, tube 20 has between about 40 to about 80% porosity, hi another embodiment, expansion chamber 18 has at least about 85% greater flow cross-sectional area than inlet tube 12. hi a further embodiment, expansion chamber 18 has at least about 75% greater flow cross-sectional area than inlet tube 12. In yet another embodiment, expansion chamber 18 has between about 75% to about 90% greater flow cross-sectional area than inlet tube 12.
- a propeller 24 (see Figs. 1, 3 and 4) is attached to the muffler.by an rotational axis mounts to propeller support 26.
- the propeller comprises , four blades 30, each haying about an 30 degree spiral twist 38.
- Mount 28 securely attaches propeller 24 to propeller support 26, but provides enough play for the propeller to rotate freely, as exhaust gas is forced out of inlet tube 12 into expansion chamber 18.
- the blades have . a turn of between about 20-60 degrees. There is no difference in performance if the blades are rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, as long as all blades are consistent with each other.
- the propeller can have.2 to .8 blades.
- the propeller has 3 to 5 blades.
- the blades are relatively narrow. However, various blade widths ma be utilized in the context of the invention.
- the propellers are mounted on a teflon-filled bronze bearing, which is, in turn, in ' bunted on a standard shoulder screw, attached to the propeller support.
- the propellers are mounted on a shoulder screw, which is mounted in a teflon-filled bronze bearing that is attached to the propeller support.
- the bearings and screws are also made of stainless steel or alloy steel.
- propeller 24 can be fitted in front of support 26.
- the propeller (represented by blades 30) can also be fitted in back of support 26. [0016] In Fig.
- an arrow 40 in the interior 126 of inlet tube 12 represents gas traveling in a substantially linear direction in that area.
- the gas forces the propeller 24 to spin, which, in turn, causes the gas to spin (shown as arrow 32) as it passes through the expansion chamber 18.
- the swhling effect forces the exhaust towards the tapered exit end 34 which maintains the spin-flow of the gasses to propel the gas out of the muffler through outlet tube 36.
- the outlet tube 36 is attached at a proximal end 362 to outlet 164 and leads to the atmosphere at distal end 364, either directly or indirectly (e.g. via a tailpipe).
- outlet tube 36 has substantially the same interior diameter as inlet tube 12.
- the inlet tube 12 has a substantially smaller interior diameter than outlet tube 36.
- propeller 24 is supported within the proximal end 122 of the inlet tube 12 (Fig.5). Note that in this embodiment, the proximal ends of inlet tube 12 and outlet tube 36 are shown as protruding into expansion chamber 18. Different means to attach the inlet and outlet tubes are known, as are different means to attach the propeller to the muffler. Without being limited by any theory, it is, believed that the propeller forces the exhaust to spin from a low volume space to a higher volume space, thereby improving throughput of the exhaust.
- the exemplary embodiments of the invention provide high performance propulsion mufflers that increase horsepower and/or fuel efficiency for internal combustion engines, while maintaining the sound level of the engine within acceptable levels.
- the propeller forces the gas to rotate into a tightly spun vortex, as the gas expands in the expansion chamber. This facilitates the flow of the gasses through the expansion chamber, and through the outlet tube. This effect creates a vacuum, which draws more gasses from the exhaust source, increasing the exhaust throughput of the engine.
- the horsepower of the engine can be increased by up to about 19%.
- the horsepower was improved to between about 13 and about 19%.
- the fuel milage was increased by up to about 12% in city driving, and up to about 15% in highway driving.
- the fuel efficiency was improved to between about 5 to about 12% in the city, hi yet another embodiment, the fuel efficiency was improved to between about 6 and about 15% on the highway.
- Vehicles that may benefit from such a muffler include trucks, automobiles, lawn mowers, boats, snowmobiles, power machinery, or other equipment driven by the internal combustion engine.
