  • Patent number: 7055513
    Abstract: A device for use in an air intake path of an internal combustion engine to improve the engine performance. The device body has a top surface, bottom surface and at least one air passage defined about an axis from the top surface-to the bottom surface, containing a chamfer at each end. The upper portion of the passage surface contains a plurality of V-shaped veins about the axis of the passage. The lower portion of the passage narrows in diameter to a point equal to or greater than the vein extension in the upper portion. The lower portion also defines a grooved surface starting at it's beginning having a 60 degree slope edge and a flat bottom major diameter spaced in such a manner as to have a helical shape and to circumscribe the passage wall terminating prior to the end of the lower passage.

  • Publication number: 20060090722
    Abstract: A device for use in a sectional intake manifold of an internal combustion engine which includes a body portion having an upper surface and a lower surface. The body portion includes a passage surface defining one passage about an axis from the upper surface to the lower surface. The passage surface provides an opening which is in fluid connection with the sections of the intake manifold and which is sealed to such sections using an O-ring or flat style gasket, based upon the application. Once the device is installed in the sectional intake manifold, it increases the overall plenum volume thereby enhancing the performance and efficiency of the internal combustion engine.
