Abstract: A fluid injection system for injecting atomized fluids into the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine comprising: a fluid reservoir to hold a supply of fluid, means to transport the fluid to a T junction mixer having i) a pre-mixing chamber, ii) a flow adjustable fluid intake port to receive the fluid and deliver it to the pre-mixing chamber, and iii) a simultaneously restricted air and water flow intakes to deliver a predetermined approximately constant ratio air to water flows into the pre-mixing chamber for atomization of the fluids, and collector means to collect and transport the atomized fluid mixture into the intake manifold.

Abstract: A direct drive, self-cooling, fail-safe axle brake system mounted to a drive axle associated with a differential and wheel end of a vehicle. The brake system has two back to back tandem operated combination brake components associated with the wheel end, which is surrounded by a hub cooling and collection reservoir into which fluids from a separate cooling reservoir are circulated over the brake components to dissipate heat generated from braking by dissipating it through the separate cooling reservoir.

Abstract: An inflatable vent toy for an exhaust vent air outlet comprising: an inflatable balloon made of a flexible material patterned and shaped to suit the preference of a user having a base defining an air inlet with surrounding attachment structure to secure the base over the exhaust vent air outlet such that the air inlet is in communication with the vent air outlet to enable in-coming air from the vent to enter the base air inlet and fill the balloon in a first mode, and to escape and collapse in a second mode when the in-coming air from the vent stops.

Abstract: A variable flight toy having a plurality of strips constructed of a resilient material folded and secured proximate their midpoints to form alternating loops with ends centrally gathered to radially extend the ends and loops to form a ball, which, when struck, the loops and ends provide non-uniform aerodynamic resistance to the flight of the ball.
