Problems solved by technology

As the cylinder compresses the air and fuel the high pressure causes the crude oil to burn.
For example, carbon dioxide is known to create the greenhouse effect in which the solar energy cannot penetrate this layer and thus will cause warming of the earth.

Embodiment Construction

[0018] This invention is based on the discovery of a method of using nichrome wire or any high resistance wire connected to an electrical source so that the wire gets hot or red hot in order for the water gas reaction to occur. This reaction will only occur if the soot sticks or accumulates on the surface of the resistance wire or nichrome wire. See FIG. 1. The nichrome wire is placed inside a compartment (1) which is connected to the manifold (2) (the tube that is connected to the muffler). A limited amount of air is allowed to enter (1) by means of a screw that regulates the air flow (3). Air enters (1) if the velocity of the gas from the manifold is high. This is sometimes called the venturi effect. When the opening of 3 is large the venturi effect disappears.

[0019] Inside (1) is the coiled nichrome wire (2), which is held in place by threading through slots (5) of a ceramic holder (4). See FIG. 2. After the wire is threaded in bottom slots it is threaded to the top slots. The ni...

Abstract

A hot resistance wire is used to react with the water vapor and soot produced in the diesel engine forming carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas. These are further oxidized or burned with oxygen from air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. In this manner the soot is eliminated.

Description

[0001] (Continuation in Part-application Ser. No. 09 / 825,393-File No. Apr. 3, 2001)BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002] This invention pertains to reduction of diesel soot emission. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the year 2000 that the diesel soot emission be reduced in spite of the economic impact on operators of diesel trucks and buses. The soot particles in the atmosphere are believed linked to the development of cancer particularly in those children that ride the diesel powered buses in the Los Angeles area.[0003] The Environmental Protection Agency of the government has raised the standards as to how much of the soot pollutants would be allowed.[0004] It would, therefore, be beneficial to the population in this country if the diesel soot can be reduced or eliminated entirely. This is important because the trucks and buses play a significant role in transportation.[0005] School buses used to transport children to school in Los Angeles area has been found to cause allergy in children. ...
