Abstract:
An automobile air filter comprising a filter element, a plurality of metal electrodes and an outer hood, the filter element being received in the outer hood, a pipe connector being connected at a lower end of the outer hood to join with an engine air intake pipe of an engine, characterized in that: the plurality of metal electrodes are arranged in pairs and formed inside the filter element; a plurality of discharge clearances are formed between each pair of metal electrodes; all metal electrodes are connected by a cable; the cable is passed through the outer hood and connected with a high voltage power source to supply instantaneous high voltage to each pair of metal electrodes, thereby, high instantaneous voltage flashes are generated in the clearance between each pair of metal electrodes to produce ozone (O3) that enters with air intake through the engine air intake pipe into the engine.
