  • Fuel consumption optimizer and carbon dioxide emissions reducer based on an air-vacuum liquid compensation system
    Patent number: 6273071
    Abstract: A booster container, an inlet nozzle for air entering the container and an outlet nozzle for air leaving the container, a body of liquid within the container body, the body of liquid being disposed remotely from the inlet nozzle and the outlet nozzle, a plurality of deflectors located within and attached to the container body, forming passages through which the air travels and at least one of the deflectors being partially immersed in the body of liquid. Air passes around the deflectors into the body of liquid and is influenced by a vacuum from an intake manifold, wherein the air forms bubbles in the liquid and leaves the body of liquid under vacuum and passes through the passages formed between the deflectors and leaves the booster container through the outlet nozzle connected to the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine.
    Type: Grant

  • Fuel consumption optimizer and exhaust emissions reducer based on an air-vacuum liquid compensation system
    Patent number: 5694888
    Abstract: A fuel consumption optimizer and exhaust emissions reducer for an internal combustion engine including an air-vacuum liquid compensation device has a device for supplying a first stream of air at high speed and a second stream of air at high volume through respective channels into a booster container and a device for passing the first stream of air and the second stream of air through a plurality of openings in the respective channels into a body of liquid in the booster container. A method is described for optimizing fuel consumption and reducing exhaust emissions in an internal combustion engine.
