Claim:
An airflow converger comprising: a tubular body equipped, at an upper end, with an air inlet in a vertical plane open to the environment or connected to the outlet of an air filter and provided with spaced, parallel, vertically oriented, nonintersecting fins that direct airflow lines in parallel; internally, said body has an inner surface for changing turbulent airflow with high recirculation rate to laminar airflow with minimized or annulled recirculation rate and turbulence intensity upon exit from the body; and an opposite end of said body has an outlet positioned horizontally and connected to an air receiving medium like a carburetor or throttle body of a vehicle's engine system; said airflow lines flowing in parallel as they move through said body from said inlet to said outlet; wherein the tubular body is defined by a broadened upper section, prismatic, with convex walls, and with said inlet; said body is also internally obstruction-free and defined by a lower section in a substantially cone frustum format, funneled from a base of the upper section and ending in a cylindrical section having said outlet.
