ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a water vapor injection system for introducing artificially high humidity air into the carburetor of an internal combustion engine. Once delivered to the carburetor, the high humidity or moisture-laden air mixes with the air-fuel mixture normally passing from the carburetor into the combustion chambers to increase the combustion efficiency of the internal combustion engine.
A forced air system is generated by an air injection pump, and this forced air is heated to alter its vaporization characteristics prior to being circulated through a water filled container. As the heated air is exposed to the water within the container, the air increases in moisture content as the heat associated with the air tends to vaporize water about the interface between respective bubbles and the surrounding water. Because of the continuous force of the pump, the high moisture air realized from passing the air through the water filled container is then forced from the container into the immediate area of the top of the carburetor. There the moisture-laden air generated by the water vapor injection system is mixed with the normally injected air supply and, accordingly, the water content of the final air-fuel mixture is increased which, expressed generally, significantly increases the efficiency of the combustion process within the internal combustion engine.
