Abstract:
A system for supplying oxygen to a combustion engine to thereby improve performance thereof, and limit pollutants in gases emitted through an exhaust of the combustion engine, said system comprising:an air intake system for receiving and filtering air from outside the combustion engine, wherein the air intake system delivers oxygen to the combustion engine;a fuel tank for storing a fuel which is combusted within the combustion engine;the combustion engine which combines air from the air intake system and the fuel from the fuel tank, wherein said combustion engine causes oxygen in the air to combust with the fuel, and wherein exhaust gases generated from the combustion are vented from the combustion engine; andan oxygen storage and delivery device which is disposed within a chamber of the air intake system, wherein said oxygen storage and delivery device stores an oxygenated gel, and wherein said oxygenated gel evaporates from the container thereby releasing oxygen into the air intake system.
