Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional combustion systems are used, then the engine operates with standard fuel consumption, but combustion efficiency is incomplete resulting in reduced fuel mileage and increased pollutant emissions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies electrical charge parameters to the fuel injection system by connecting a voltage source through a relay to the fuel injector. This changes the physical state of the fuel by imparting an electrical charge, which enhances combustion efficiency and reduces emissions while improving fuel mileage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces purely mechanical combustion processes with an electro-enhanced combustion system. By introducing electrical charges to the fuel through the injector circuit, the system substitutes mechanical injection with electro-mechanical control, achieving more complete combustion and reduced pollutants.
2Loss of energy
If electrical charge is applied to fuel through relay and voltage source, then combustion efficiency increases significantly, but device complexity increases due to additional electrical components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the voltage source and relay into the existing fuel injection system, allowing these components to serve multiple functions: controlling fuel injection timing and simultaneously charging the fuel electrically. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate systems and minimizes overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the vehicle's existing electrical system to power the voltage source and relay, eliminating the need for separate power supplies. The fuel injector itself serves dual purposes as both the injection mechanism and the charge application point, reducing overall system complexity.

Significantly increases fuel mileage and horsepower output while reducing pollutant emissions by improving combustion efficiency, potentially achieving thermal efficiencies above 50%.
Implementation Method 1
A voltage is inputted from a source to a relay and an ignition circuit is in separate communication with the relay. The relay converts the input voltage to a negative output voltage applied to a fuel line in communication with a fuel injector of the engine, resulting in a negative charge imparted to the fuel prior to combustion
Data Source
AI summary
A system, apparatus and associated method for the catalyzation of a fossil fuel prior to combustion within an internal combustion engine. A voltage is inputted from a source to a relay and an ignition circuit in separate communication with the relay. The relay converts the input voltage to a negative output voltage applied to a fuel line in communication with a fuel injector of the engine, resulting in a negative charge imparted to the fuel prior to combustion and in order to increase oxidation/burn efficiency with resultant mileage/horsepower increase and concurrent decrease in pollutants resulting from discharge of partially combusted reactants.
