ABSTRACT:
A flow system for an internal combustion engine has a first conduit connected to a water reservoir and extending therefrom to pass adjacent a heating source such as the exhaust pipe of an automobile engine, and then passes to connection with the bore of an adapter plate beneath the throttle plate of a carburetor. A second conduit extends adjacent the exhaust pipe to be heated so that air from the atmosphere can pass through it to the carburetor and intake manifold. A third conduit connects the first and second conduit, and a fourth conduit connects the third and first conduit. The first, second and fourth conduits have flow control spiral orifice pieces which restrict the flow of fluid. In operation, pressure differentials existing within the carburetor and the carburetor adapter plate create water flow from the water reservoir through the first conduit with water and air flow being regulated by the spiral orifice pieces so that water flows through at a desired rate to be heated by the exhaust pipe and converted to steam to pass into the adapter plate bore, with air from the atmosphere flowing through the opening of the second conduit for mixture with water flowing from the first conduit, and with the third and fourth conduits providing a bypass arrangement for fluid flow.
