Embodiment approach

[0025] figure 1 An exemplary embodiment of an ionization device (10) housed in a housing unit (11) is illustrated. The housing unit may be one continuous surface, or may be a plurality of components permanently or removably joined together. The housing unit has an inner surface and an outer surface. In one embodiment, the housing unit may be constructed of metal. Metals can be coated to prevent corrosion. In other embodiments, the housing unit may be constructed of plastic or composite materials. like figure 1 As shown, the housing unit (11) may comprise a bowl (12) and a cap (13). The bowl (12) and cap (13) each have an inner surface and an outer surface. The cap and bowl may be attached using internal and external threads on the cap and bowl, respectively.

[0026] The housing unit may include a plurality of ports (14, 15, 16), which may be arranged in various configurations. A first port (14) may be provided for air intake. The second port (15) may be used to eject...

Embodiment 1

[0038] Example 1 – 2015 Toyota Tundra, Eight Cylinder with Six Inch Lift Kit and Knobby Tires

[0039] In this example, the ionization device described in this application is installed in a 2015 Toyota Tank Road. The truck is equipped with a 6-inch lift kit and Knobby off-road tires. Engine performance is evaluated based on fuel efficiency and emissions levels. The comparison of engine performance with ionization device and without ionization device is shown in Table 1 below.

[0041]

[0042]

[0043] *Fuel efficiency based on dashboard reading post-test with vehicle driven approximately 15 miles.

[0044] The results in Table 1 show a significant improvement in fuel efficiency and emissions.

Embodiment 2

[0045] Example 2 – 2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0TDI

[0046] In this example, the ionization device described in this application is installed on a 2015 Volkswagen Passat TDI. Cars are built with software that changes emissions when a test pattern is detected (eg only two wheels move). Due to a software issue, the vehicle was evaluated by measuring emissions from the tailpipe while the vehicle was idling.

[0048] Percentage or PPM

[0049]The results in Table 2 show a significant improvement in NOx emissions. Additionally, drivers report that "turbo lag" is eliminated when the ionizer is installed.

Abstract

The invention relates to devices for improving combustion engine performance. More specifically, the present invention relates to ionizing devices for reducing emissions, improving fuel efficiency, and improving power in combustion engines that utilizes a computer to control the air / fuel mixture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to devices for improving the performance of internal combustion engines. More specifically, the present application relates to ionization devices for reducing emissions, increasing fuel efficiency, and increasing the power of internal combustion engines that utilize computers to control the air / fuel mixture. Background technique [0002] An internal combustion engine converts energy from the combustion of fuel into mechanical power. When the fuel source is a carbon-based substance such as gasoline or diesel, combustion is often incomplete, producing emissions of hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, and other chemical by-products. Because emissions from internal combustion engines cause air pollution that can be harmful to humans, animals, and the environment, many countries have regulations to limit the emissions. While technology has improved emissions over the past few decades, furth...
