Abstract:
An apparatus for improving the combustion efficiency in internal combustion systems comprisinga casing having an inlet and an outlet at its ends for receiving and discharging, respectively, the fuel to be treated; an elongated metal bar concentrically located within said casing between said inlet and said outlet so as to enter into direct contact with the fuel, said metal bar being made of an alloy comprising, by weight, 40-70% copper, 10-32% nickel, 15-40% zinc, 2-20% tin and 0.05-10% silver; a sleeve concentrically located between said casing and said elongated metal bar; separation means concentrically situated between said casing and said sleeve, to isolate said casing from said sleeve; interconnecting means attached to said inlet and said outlet, to interconnect the apparatus with the fuel supply and the internal combustion system; fixing means situated inside of each end of the casing, to hold the metal bar in place; grounding means located at the outer surface of the casing, to ground the apparatus when in use, to thus protect the reaction of the fuel and the metal bar from any interference caused by magnetic fields generated by any electric supply source; and, a plastic film externally covering each end of said casing for electrically insulating said ends, wherein said elongated metal bar comprises a plurality of cuts having a concave shape and arranged diagonally along the entire surface of the upper and lower face of the metal bar, and a plurality of holes that run from side to side across the section of the metal bar, placed and distributed at an equal distance lengthwise.
