Abstract
A system for providing homogenized mixtures of hydrocarbon fuel and water utilizes a chamber in which the fuel and water is injected in a predetermined ratio. The chamber contains a transducer which is electrically excited and therefore vibrates the mixture at high frequency rates so as to homogenize it prior to the mixture being fed to a fuel injector or carburetor.
Claims9
A system supplied by metered sources of liquid fuel and water for homogenizing said fuel and water and feeding the homogenized fuel and water in its liquid state to vaporization means of an engine, comprising the combination of:
- an AC power source;
- homogenizing means, having a first feeder line connected to the source of liquid fuel and a second feeder line connected to the source of water, for receiving said liquid fuel and water in metered quatitites, said homogenizing means including transducing means retained within and being part of said homogenizing means, said transducing means being connected directly to the AC power source for converting AC power from said AC power source to vibrations so as to produce a homogenized liquid of said liquid fuel and water;
- and
- means, coupling said homogenizing means to said vaporization means, for transferring said homogenized liquid only to said vaporization means.
