Abstract: A system for improving motor vehicle performance includes an air intake heat exchanger placed in-line with the air intake of the motor vehicle. The air intake heat exchanger is coupled to a source of pressurized media for selective application of the pressurized media to the air intake heat exchanger for cooling and drying intake air prior to reaching the intake manifold and ultimately the combustion chamber. The system further includes a flow inducing member positioned within the exhaust pipe of a motor vehicle. The flow inducing member is coupled to the source of pressurized media for selective application of the pressurized media in a manner which creates an increased flow within the exhaust system thereby increasing the flow through the air intake and intake manifold. A system for exhausting CO2 to an adjacent vehicle is also disclosed.

Abstract: A lead abatement method approved for use by governmental agencies is described. The method id achieved by first applying a highly compliant protective film over a lead contaminated surface. The film includes an exposed layer and an adhesive layer composed of an adhesive material adapted for substantially permanent bonding to the contaminated surface. The exposed surface is then perforated and a topcoat is applied to the exposed surface. The topcoat is adapted for treatment of the exposed surface of the film so as to permit treatment of the topcoat in a desired manner.
