Abstract

A thermo-magnetic vaporizer carburetor comprised of a vaporization reaction chamber which includes South pole exposed magnetic means uniformly around the chamber. The South pole magnetic field alters the molecular structure of the fuel so that it is more rapidly dispersed in the fuel/air mixture entering the I.C. engine. The liquid fuel enters the thermo-magnetic vaporizer under high pressure at ambient temperature and is conducted into a circular spiral arrangement of tubing of approximately six turns where the change-of-state transition is made from a liquid fuel to a fuel vapor. The circular spiral tubing assembly of the vaporization reaction chamber is the conduit for the fuel, as well as an electrical heating element that vaporizes the fuel that is flowing through it. The vaporized fuel exits vaporization reaction chamber and is directed to the exit port of the central vane gimbal where it is injected into the low pressure point of the spinning intake air vortex. The fuel vapor is then evenly dispersed throughout the intake air by the natural vortex which is created by the top plate vortex guide vanes and the three vane throttle mechanism, before entering the intake manifold of the I.C. engine.
