Patent ID: 7819091

Claim:
A device for increasing the fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine comprising: an outer housing, an inner container disposed entirely within the outer housing and forming a gas collection space there between, an inlet to the device connecting the gas collection space with the outlet of an air filter, an outlet to the gas collection space connecting with the intake manifold of the internal combustion device, an inner container having a plurality of upwardly projecting peaks and downwardly disposed valleys between the peaks, the container having a bottom portion containing a plurality of troughs disposed beneath the valleys, respectively, a plurality of electrically conductive sleeves received at the bottom of each valley and projecting downwardly into its associated trough, a means for supplying electrically conductive water to the troughs, a means for controlling the level of the water in the troughs, each electrically conductive sleeve having an upper end which threadedly engages the lower end of each valley and further having a lower end which is disposed below the level of water in the troughs, each sleeve also having a plurality of openings therein above the level of the liquid in the troughs for allowing escape of electrolysis gases from each sleeve, an electrode projecting downwardly into the center of each sleeve and terminating at a lower end adjacent the lower end of the sleeve, a means for supplying an electric current to each of the electrodes so that the electrically conductive water in each sleeve in the annular space between the electrode and the sleeve is subject to electrolysis, the peaks in the inner container being provided with louvered openings at the peaks whereby gases passing through the unit will pick up from the louvered openings and pass it into the intake manifold.
