Abstract
An emission reduction device which may be removably affixed to an engine's exhaust system. The device comprises a cylindrical carcass with a beveled opening in a diagonal line in its proximal part. A bobbin is affixed in the distal portion of the carcass. A cylindrical-shaped fibrous blanket may be inserted in the carcass and the fibrous blanket may be wrapped in a wire mesh. A second fiber mesh formed into a cone may be removably inserted in the cylindrical-shaped fibrous blanket with the larger diameter of the cone positioned proximally.

A device for reducing emissions comprising:
- a carcass defining a distal end and a proximal end, wherein said proximal end is affixed to an exhaust outlet of a combustion engine system;
- a capsule affixed to said distal end of said carcass, wherein said capsule has a screen positioned at said capsule's distal end;
- a bobbin positioned within said capsule;
- and
- a fibrous blanket that is positioned inside said carcass to remove particles from exhaust gas expelled through said exhaust outlet, wherein said fibrous blanket is removably positioned inside said carcass to enable said fibrous blanket to be removed from said carcass after said fibrous blanket accumulates said particles.
