    Abstract: An exhaust gas cleaning device is provided, which is simple in structure and offers good performance in the cleaning of exhaust gas from car engines. The cleaning device includes a conductive cylindrical body through which the exhaust gas passes. A shaft is installed at the center of the conductive cylindrical body. A set of blades is provided on the shaft acting as a fan for sucking the exhaust gas in and out of the conductive cylindrical body. A scraping knife is provided also on the shaft. A static-electric generator having one pole connected to the cylindrical body and the other pole connected to the shaft is used to create an electric field between the cylindrical body and the shaft that ionizes smoke particles in the exhaust gas and deposits them on the inner wall of the cylindrical body. A collecting chamber is provided in communication with the inside of the cylindrical body for collecting deposition of smoke particles scraped by the scraping knife off the inner wall of the cylindrical body.
