Abstract
Presented herein is an energy conversion module containing an internal combustion engine, air compressor, fuel delivery system, waste energy collection system and emission control system. Energy input is controlled via a feedback loop containing an air compressor, carburetor and post-combustion oxygen sensor. Emissions are controlled via the use of a high-efficiency catalytic converter and exhaust gas recirculation system via a feedback from post-catalytic oxygen sensors. Waste heat energy is also collected from both the combustion and catalytic processes via a series of heat exchangers and a high-heat capacity medium.
Claims24
An energy conversion or transfer system comprising:
- an internal combustion engine;
- and
- a fuel-air delivery system in fluid communication with the internal combustion engine, the fuel-air delivery system including an air intake and a carburetor for delivering a fuel-air mixture to the engine, the air intake being equipped with an air compressor delivering compressed air to the carburetor;
- and
- wherein the carburetor is disposed between said compressor and said engine, and receives compressed intake air discharged from the air compressor and fuel from a fuel supply, and delivers an air-fuel mixture to the engine.

A method of controlling an energy conversion or transfer system comprising:
- providing an internal combustion engine having a fuel-air delivery system that includes an air intake and a carburetor, the air intake being equipped with an air compressor;
- operating the internal combustion engine, including delivering an air/fuel mixture from the carburetor to the internal combustion engine;
- and
- adjusting the air/fuel ratio by controlling air intake into the internal combustion engine and fuel supply into the carburetor, wherein the air intake is controlled by regulating the air compressor speed.
