ABSTRACT:
A fuel and water homogenizing system (300) creates a homogenized fluid of liquid fuel and water within a vessel (310) when the fluid and water within such vessel is agitated by vibrations transduced from electrical energy provided by an AC energy source (400). A predetermined quantity of homogenized fluid is transferred via a conduit (200) to a compartment (24) within a vaporizer (10) to establish a predetermined level in the compartment of the homogenized fluid. To regulate the homogenized fluid level within the compartment (24), another conduit mechanism (305, 306, 307) connects the compartment with the homogenizing vessel pumping back homogenized fluid into the homogenizing vessel when a rise in fluid level within the compartment exceeds a predetermined level. An air stream (32) circulating around an air filter (28) and passing through the air filter within the vaporizer effects a lift, diffusion and vaporization of the homogenized fluid within the compartment, the vaporized and homogenized fluid combining with the air stream to be injected into the throat (65) of an intake manifold (60) of the engine (90). Various ways of preheating the homogenized fluid within the compartment (24) utilize heat from a chamber (50) fed by the exhaust manifold (70) of the engine as well as other heat sources. Such chamber (50) may have a heat insulator (40) between it and the vaporizer for reducing the temperature transferred by the exhaust manifold to a level below the boiling points of the components comprising the homogenized fluid. Other methods of preheating the homogenized fluid include the use of an electrical heater (350) in contact with the vaporizer, or another chamber (250) fed by the liquid coolant of the engine.
