ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine is disclosed having more efficient combustion to greatly reduce the exhaust emissions. The internal combustion engine comprises an air-cooled two cycle engine having a relatively longer piston stroke (approximately 6 inches) and a relatively slower operating speed (approximately 2,800 rpm) than present day internal combustion engines. The engine also includes a heat exchanger or a thermostatically controlled heating element for preheating and vaporizing the gasoline as it enters the combustion chambers. Air for the combustion chambers of the engine is also preheated by means of a fan which draws the air over the cooling fins on the engine block and forces the air heated by contact with the fins into an intake manifold. A heat exchanger is also provided to contain and heat a quantity of water until it turns to steam. The steam is then introduced into the air intake manifold to be introduced into the combustion chambers along with the air. This mixture of hot air, steam and vaporized gas will completely burn within the longer stroke, slower speed engine construction to thereby greatly reduce exhaust emissions that contribute to smog.
