A system and method for introducing auxiliary oxygen into a combustion engine employs a conduit to establish fluid communication between a source of auxiliary oxygen and at least one dispensing outlet that is associated with the intake assembly of the engine. A controllable valve is associated with the conduit and is operative to selectively vary the flow of oxygen to the intake assembly. A pressure regulator may be used to control the pressure at which the auxiliary oxygen is delivered. The valve may be switched, for example by a solenoid, between states permitting the flow of oxygen and prohibiting the flow of oxygen. The switch may be associated with a computerized engine control unit or mechanical throttle controls. An override switch may be connected in parallel with the valve switch, and an on/off master switch may be connect in series with the valve switch.
A system for introducing auxiliary oxygen into a combustion engine with an associated fuel supply in communication with an intake assembly that provides fuel and ambient air to the engine, comprising:
A system for introducing auxiliary oxygen into a fuel/air intake flow of an intake assembly of a combustion engine that normally provides fuel and ambient air to the engine, comprising:
A method for increasing available oxygen for combustion in a combustion engine, wherein said engine has an associated fuel supply, an intake assembly that provides fuel from the fuel supply and ambient air to the engine, and throttle controls associated with said intake assembly, comprising:
