Method and apparatus for improving efficiency in combustion engines

An apparatus for improving efficiency of a combustion engine by ionization of an air supply to the engine, the apparatus comprising:

• inlet means for receiving the air supply to the combustion engine;
• means for ionizing the air supply to produce ozone gas and to produce a positively charged air and ozone gas mixture in an amount effective to improve engine efficiency;
• said means for ionizing the air supply comprising in combination:
• a first inner cylinder composed of an electrically conductive material, a second intermediate cylinder composed of a dielectric material, and a third outer cylinder composed of an electrically conductive material, each cylinder being longitudinally aligned with one another in a concentric arrangement and to provide a cylindrical gap for directing the flow of air supply between an exterior surface of said first inner cylinder and an interior surface of said second intermediate cylinder;
• means for directing the flow of air supply received in an interior portion of one end of said first inner cylinder to said cylindrical gap where ionization of the air supply is effected and subsequently for directing the gaseous ionized mixture back to the interior portion of an opposite end of said first inner cylinder;
• and
• outlet means for directing the resultant gaseous ionized mixture to said combustion engine.
