ABSTRACT:
A system and method for conditioning and/or vaporizing fuel within an intermittent combustion engine in order to effectuate more complete combustion is provided. In one embodiment of the invention, a fuel conditioning system for conditioning fuel within a combustion chamber of an intermittent internal combustion engine can comprise a fuel conditioning cavity defined by walls, wherein at least a portion of said walls include a reflective inner surface; an electromagnetic energy source operable for emitting electromagnetic energy within the fuel conditioning cavity, wherein the electromagnetic energy source is configured to emit and reflect the electromagnetic energy from the reflective inner surface, thereby providing focused electromagnetic energy; a discrete region disposed within the fuel conditioning cavity for receiving the focused electromagnetic energy; and a fuel injector having a dispensing end being oriented for dispensing a fuel spray with a trajectory through the focused electromagnetic energy.
