In an arrangement for use in decomposing exhaust gas in an internal combustion engine exhaust system including an exhaust conduit and a muffler, a detachable conduit section for disposition in said exhaust conduit ahead of said muffler, two oscillatory terminals in said detachable conduit section, one of said terminals being an anode terminal and the other being a multi-electrode cathode terminal with there being a face-to-face separation between said anode terminal and said cathode terminal of at least 1/2 inch, said anode terminal comprising a square base pyramidal shape consisting of two parts and joined together; one of said two part being square base plate of not less than one-eighth of an inch in thickness of aluminum-nickel alloy and the other of said two parts being pyramidal shape of copper, a copper wire connected at the zenith of said shape and serving as a ground connection, a square block of ceramic material, said pyramidal shape of copper being rigidly incased within said square block of ceramic material, said base plate constituting the anode surface, said multi-electrode terminal comprising a square block of high heat resistance and high electrically insulating material and at least fifteen electrode wires individually and rigidly incased in staggered linear formation in said material within the width of one inch of said block, said block having a square inner end surface containing the inner ends of said electrode wires in spaced face to face relationship to said square inner surface of said anode terminal and defining therewith a gap for passage of residual exhaust gases therethrough and for formation of multi-oscillatory streams of free electrons therewithin, said block of said multi-electrode having an outer end of square shape with the outer ends of said electrode wires being arranged in a two linear staggered formation and said outer ends of said electrodes are flush with the ceramic material and are coated with a silicone substance.

In an arrangement for use in decomposing exhaust gas in an internal combustion engine exhaust system including an exhaust conduit and a muffler, a detachable conduit section for disposition in said exhaust conduit ahead of said muffler, two oscillatory terminals in said detachable conduit section, one of said terminals being an anode terminal and the other being a multi-electrode cathode terminal with there being a face-to-face separation between said anode terminal and said cathode terminal of at least 1/2 inch, said anode terminal comprising a square base pyramidal shape consisting of two parts and joined together; one of said two part being square base plate of not less than one-eighth of an inch in thickness of aluminum-nickel alloy and the other of said two parts being pyramidal shape of copper, a copper wire connected at the zenith of said shape and serving as a ground connection, a square block of ceramic material, said pyramidal shape of copper being rigidly incased within said square block of ceramic material, said base plate constituting the anode surface, said multi-electrode terminal comprising a square block of high heat resistance and high electrically insulating material and at least fifteen electrode wires individually and rigidly incased in staggered linear formation in said material within the width of one inch of said block, said block having a square inner end surface containing the inner ends of said electrode wires in spaced face to face relationship to said square inner surface of said anode terminal and defining therewith a gap for passage of residual exhaust gases therethrough and for formation of multi-oscillatory streams of free electrons therewithin, said block of said multi-electrode having an outer end of square shape with the outer ends of said electrode wires being arranged in a two linear staggered formation and said outer ends of said electrodes are flush with the ceramic material and are coated with a silicone substance.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
180 words
In an arrangement as defined in claim 1, an induction device comprising a hollow generally cylindric shell of glass having an elongated neck end portion and having an opposite end incased and fused onto the outer square surface of said ceramic block of said multi-electrode terminal the ends of said electrodes being flush with the ceramic surface of said block and being coated with a silicone substance, a glass stopper sealing said neck portion, an electrode element in the form of a short metallic cylinder having a metallic bottom end, a copper wire conductor connected to said bottom end extending through said glass stopper, a high voltage transformer connected to said copper wire and supplying interrupted sequences of high voltage current thereto, said cylindric induction device containing a gaseous element which is relatively instantaneously reactive to high frequencies of interrupted sequences of high voltage current to activate and effect a simultaneous multi-inductance within the adjoining multi-electrodes cathode and the opposite anode to effect multi-streams of oscillating free electrons across the gap between said multi-electrodes cathode terminal and said anode terminal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
