Abstract
Abstract A device comprises an annular permanent magnet (1) embracing an engine fuel mixture duct (6). The poles of the magnet (1) are oriented in such a way that the direction of the magnetic field established thereby is parallel to the direction of the fuel mixture flow in the duct (6). The magnet (1) is fitted in a nonmagnetic flat body (2) made from a zinc alloy. If viewed in the direction of the fuel mixture flow, the south pole of the magnet (1) is closer to the engine than the north pole thereof. The inner diameter of the annular magnet (1) is equal to the inner diameter of the fuel mixture duct (6). The magnetic intensity in the center of the annular magnet (1) is within 50-250 oersteds.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A device for magnetizing the fuel mixture of an internal combustion engine, comprising permanent magnetic field means fitted in the engine fuel system, said magnetic field means being in the form of an annular permanent magnet installed in a nonmagnetic body and positioned in an engine air-fuel mixture duct, said magnet having an inner diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the air-fuel mixture duct, the poles of the magnet being oriented in such a way that the direction of the magnetic field established thereby is parallel to the direction of the air-fuel mixture flow in the duct.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
99 words
A device for magnetizing the fuel mixture of an internal combustion engine, comprising permanent magnetic field means fitted in the engine fuel system, said magnetic field means being in the form of an annular permanent magnet installed in a nonmagnetic body and positioned in an engine air-fuel mixture duct, said magnet having an inner diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the air-fuel mixture duct, the poles of the magnet being oriented in such a way that the direction of the magnetic field established thereby is parallel to the direction of the air-fuel mixture flow in the duct.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the nonmagnetic body in which the magnet is installed is made flat to facilitate mating of the device with an engine air-fuel mixture supply system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the magnet is arranged in such a manner that the south pole thereof is the closest to the engine when viewed in the direction of the air-fuel mixture flow.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the nonmagnetic body of the magnet is made from a zinc alloy.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the magnetic intensity in the center of the annular magnet is within 50-250 oersteds.
