  • Patent number: 8999158
    Abstract: A fuel conditioner is provided for improving fuel combustibility and reducing emissions into the environment. The fuel conditioner may be placed in-line in a fuel delivery system for internal combustion engines and may include the following components: a first housing defining a sealed chamber, a fuel inlet in fluid communication with the sealed chamber, a second housing disposed within the sealed chamber, a magnet disposed in the second housing, a fuel outlet in fluid communication with the sealed chamber, and a flow path in the sealed chamber for flow of the liquid fuel between the fuel inlet and the fuel outlet. Along its flow path, the liquid fuel is split apart and passes through magnetic fields due to one or more magnets inside the second housing to condition the fuel to improve fuel combustibility and reduce toxic emissions.

  • Publication number: 20120216759
    Abstract: An electrolysis system is provided for supplementing the petroleum fuel supply of an internal combustion engine. The electrolysis system may include a reservoir tank including a solution of water and electrolyte and at least two plates disposed therein. The plates are in electrical communication with a source of electrical power such that the plates create an electrical current in the solution to produce a gas including oxygen and hydrogen. A filter system is in fluid communication with the reservoir tank and includes a filter that has interconnected particles configured to capture electrolyte particles in the gas. A conduit is also provided as part of the electrolysis system to deliver the gas from the filter system to the internal combustion engine. A filter system and a method of supplying a gas that includes oxygen and hydrogen to supplement the petroleum fuel supply for an internal combustion engine are also disclosed.
