Fuel vaporizer for internal combustion engines

Claim 1

In combination with an internal combustion engine a fuel vaporizer comprising an intake manifold plate adapted to be connected to the engine, a plurality of pipes communicating with said engine through said plate and rigidly connected to said plate said pipes having substantially equal lengths and diameters, a generally cylindrical housing rigidly secured to the opposite end of said pipes and communicating therewith, an impeller blade in said housing rotated at high speed by air and fuel passing through said housing for vaporizing the fuel, means providing a mounting for a carburetor including a flat plate positioned closely adjacent said impeller blade and having a pair of relatively large bores equispaced on opposite sides of the axis of said impeller blade and communicating with the carburetor, and air deflection means including a pair of elements carried by said flat plate and extending respectively transversely of said bores with said elements sloping oppositely of each other and toward said impeller for causing the flow of air to impinge on the impeller blade in a direction to drive the impeller blade at high speed.
