ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for mixing fuel and an oxidizing agent includes an electrically charged electrode which forms an electrostatic field through which a stream of fuel is passed so that the fuel particles become electrostatically charged and subsequently repel one another to disperse into and mix with an oxidizing agent and vaporize on contact with a heat source such as the wall surface of an intake manifold of an internal combustion engine or the walls of fuel burning apparatus, or combustion chambers of jet or rocket engines and the like. Fuel particles passing through the electrostatic field are charged by induction charging and in addition may also be electrostatically charged by direct contact with the electrode, which is provided with an open outlet end to permit a relatively unobstructed flow of intermixed fuel and oxidizing agent with a minimum of flow resistance and little possibility of ice formation.
