Abstract: Several embodiments of high-efficiency catalytic converters and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a catalytic converter for treating a flow of exhaust gas comprising a reaction chamber, a heating enclosure enclosing at least a portion of the reaction chamber, and an optional coolant channel encasing the heating enclosure. The reaction chamber can have a first end section through which the exhaust gas flows into the reaction chamber and a second end section from which the exhaust gas exits the reaction chamber. The heating enclosure is configured to contain heated gas along the exterior of the reaction chamber, and the optional coolant channel is configured to contain a flow of coolant around the heating enclosure. The catalytic converter can further include a catalytic element in the reaction chamber.

Abstract: An insert device for smoothing air flow from air filters to carburetors. The device is suitable for turning an air stream from an intake air passageway, which is directed inwardly along a plane from a periphery towards a center to a fuel/air mixing chamber having an annular downwardly flowing mixing passageway with a longitudinal axis at the center. The insert device includes a first end adapted to be operably located concentrically with the annular fuel/air passageway, and a second end opposite the first end. The first and second ends have a central axis extending therebetween. The second end has a center and an upper wall extending outwardly therefrom. A peripheral wall of diminishing outside diameter begins at a point spaced outwardly near the center of the second end and extends smoothly to a point of minimum diameter. From the point of minimum diameter, concave shaped subwalls of slightly increasing size extend downward to the first end.
