Oxygen supply system for IC engines

Abstract

Abstract A valve controlled disposable container, bracket mounted on the fire wall of an internal combustion vehicle for a selective feeding of a composition comprising a mixture of 90% hydrogen peroxide, 9% water, 0.5% nitro methane and 0.5% methanol to the intake manifold or carbureter of the engine. The present invention generally relates to internal combustion engine operation, and is more specifically concerned with a system for increasing the operational efficiency thereof through the utilization of apparatus which enables the selective feeding of an engine additive uniquely adapted to effect a substantial reduction in pollutant in conjunction with an appreciable reduction in gas consumption. One of the major problems facing the auto industry at the present time is the necessity of finding effective pollution reduction means. While many systems have been proposed, and in fact put into operation, the basic deficiency with such systems is the resulting substantial increase in gas consumption. Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a unique system of pollution control which, in operation, actually results in an appreciable decrease in normal gas consumption. In conjunction with the above, it is also an important object of the invention that the system be economical, easily installed and requires no modification of the engine construction other than the attachment of a bracket to the fire wall and the discharge end of a hose to feed into the carbureter or intake manifold. In achieving the objects of the invention, the apparatus includes a bracket affixed to the fire wall of an engine compartment and releasably mounting an elongated container between upper and lower head and foot pieces. The container is retained by upper and lower pairs of spring arms. An elongated feed hose is removably coupled to an outlet nozzle on the bottom of the container with the second end of the hose coupled to the engine at any appropriate place for the introduction of the additive from the container. In order to enable a proper feeding of the additive, a selectively operable vent cap is mounted on the lower end of the container and communicated with the upper interior thereof through an elongated vent tube. The additive itself is highly significant and comprises a mixture of 90% hydrogen peroxide, 9% water, 0.5% nitro methane and 0.5% methanol. These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout.
