(1) Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a fuel consumption reduction apparatus, and more in particular to an apparatus which is implemented in fuel-driven transportation vehicle so as to reduce fuel consumption.
(2) Description of the Prior Art
Because crude oil resources dry up and energy crisis is higher, oil price is also higher and high oil consumption devices do not only cost a fortune but also greenhouse gas is generated due to incomplete fuel combustion. The greenhouse gas may be a much more devastating factor than energy crisis.
Fuel-powered engines are mainstreams of power sources. For example, automobile, trains or airplane are propelled by fuel-powered engines. Oil reserve is limited on earth, and oil is consumed overly so that oil reserve is becoming much scarce. In addition, fuel combustion will bring about waste and leads to environmental pollution and ecological damage.
In the light of this, a variety of ways how to reduce oil consumption are invented and particularly applied in automobiles. Automobiles are the largest group of fuel-consumption apparatus or vehicles. To resolve fuel consumption of automobiles, quite a few new technologies are developed to generate alternate energy such as solar energy vehicles, or electric vehicles. Taiwan Utility Patent M332599 discloses a wind-powered electric vehicle, and however, there are two disadvantages. Firstly, the technology is still not mature, and vehicles implemented with this technology are not widely available in the market or cost is still high. Secondly, existing fuel-powered vehicles may not be converted to new vehicles with new technology. So, automobile makers are reluctant to invest this fuel-economy technology, and consumers are not willing to purchase this kind of vehicles.
Thus, some newly developed technologies meet consumers' needs in market so that existing fuel-powered vehicles can be directly converted so as to reduce fuel consumption. For example, Taiwan Utility Patents M327923 and M315259 utilize radiator to adjust oxygen molecules in inlet gas so as to improve combustion efficiency. Besides, Taiwan Utility Patents M313170 and M245085 utilizes electrolysis to generate and introduce hydrogen and oxygen gases into engine so that hydrogen and oxygen gases are mixed with fuel. Taiwan Utility Patents M304580 and M248908 magnetize fuel so as to improve combustion efficiency, and M295694 magnetizes infra-red throttle oil ball. Taiwan Utility Patents M261597 magnetizes inlet gas so as to increase combustion efficiency. These technologies have been extensively developed so that this is a crowded field of technology. From experiments, the above-described methods are capable of reducing fuel consumption but these methods are not perfect and it is necessary to explore an optimal method.
Therefore, the present invention provides a fuel consumption reduction apparatus which is implemented in a fuel-driven transportation vehicle so as to reduce fuel consumption and overcome the above disadvantages.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a fuel consumption reduction apparatus which is implemented in a fuel-driven transportation vehicle so as to reduce fuel consumption. The present invention leads to much higher combustion efficiency and brings a less damage against environment. Besides, according to the present invention, existing fuel-powered vehicles can be directly converted in an oil-economy and low-cost way. Thus, automobile makers and consumers' are much more willing to embrace this product so as to achieve environmental protection and energy conservation.
The present invention relates to a fuel consumption reduction apparatus which is implemented in a machine and used to power the machine. The fuel consumption reduction apparatus includes an engine, a fuel pipe, a magnetic device, an electrolytic device, and an oxygen gas inlet pipe.
The engine consumes fuel to generate power. The fuel pipe is used to introduce the fuel into the engine, and the magnetic device is implemented at the fuel pipe so as to magnetize the fuel within the fuel pipe.
With electrolysis, the electrolytic device is used to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen gases. The oxygen gas inlet pipe is used to introduce the oxygen gas into the engine so as to support consuming the fuel oil.
Therefore, the present invention utilizes the fuel consumption reduction apparatus which is implemented in fuel-driven transportation vehicle, and the present invention also utilizes synchronization between the magnetic device and the electrolytic device so as to achieve perfect combustion and bring less damage against environment. Besides, existing fuel-powered vehicles can be directly converted in an oil-economy and low-cost way. Thus, automobile makers and consumers' are much more willing to embrace this product so as to achieve environmental protection and energy conservation.
The present invention will now be specified with reference to its preferred embodiment illustrated in the drawings, in which:
In the following description, numerous details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be appreciated by one skilled in the art that variations of these specific details are possible while still achieving the results of the present invention. In other instance, well-known components are not described in detail in order not to unnecessarily obscure the present invention.
Referring to
Fuel oil is stored at the fuel tank 31, and the fuel pipe 42 is used to introduce fuel oil into the engine 40. The magnetic device 44 is implemented at the fuel pipe 42 so as to magnetize the fuel oil within the fuel pipe 42. Magnetized fuel oil has smaller molecules and is prone to be burned, and molecules of fuel oil have negative charges because N poles of the magnetic device are in proximity with the fuel pipe 42. These molecules with negative charges expel one another and are uniformly distributed so that magnetized fuel oil is perfectly combusted because the magnetized fuel oil is in contact with support combustion gas. Then, magnetized fuel oil is introduced into the engine 40 so that magnetized fuel oil is combusted to power the machine 30.
The electrolytic device 46 utilizes two electrodes and electrolyte dissolved in water to quickly decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen gases by the law of electrolysis. The oxygen gas inlet pipe 48 is used to introduce oxygen gas from electrolysis into the engine 40 so as to support combust the magnetized fuel oil. It is preferred that another magnetic device 44 is implemented at the oxygen gas inlet pipe 48 so that oxygen gas within the oxygen gas inlet pipe 48 is ionized. The ionized oxygen gas has positive charge so that fuel combustion is much more perfect and fast because oxygen gas and fuel molecules respectively have opposite charges. Then, power from fuel combustion is significantly increased. Therefore, the present invention brings a less damage against environment and reduces carbon emission in addition to energy conservation and power increase.
From experiment data, the machine with the magnetic device 44 (shown in
Furthermore, the machine 30 further includes a power generator 50 and a rechargeable battery 52. For automobiles, the power generator 50 and the rechargeable battery 52 are original equipments. The power generator 50 utilizes the machine 30 to generate electricity, and as for automobiles, electricity is generated when the automobiles moves. The rechargeable battery 52 such as 12-V battery of the automobiles stores electricity generated by power generator 50.
When the rechargeable battery 52 is charged to a pre-determined volt such as 100% of capacity, redundant electricity will be supplied to the electrolytic device 46. Thus, the electrolysis device 46 does not consume electricity by consuming fuel oil, and only redundant electricity helps electrolysis. That is what we called “energy conservation”.
Besides, referring to
The electrolytic device 46 also provides hydrogen gas, and the hydrogen gas inlet pipe 60 introduces the hydrogen gas from the electrolytic device 46 into the fuel cell 62. The fuel cell 62 uses the hydrogen gas from the electrolytic device 46 as fuel so as to generate electricity. The electricity generated by the fuel cell 62 will be supplied to the electric motor 62, and when the electric motor 64 is powered by electricity from the fuel cell 62, the electric motor 64 generates more energy to the machine 30. If the automobiles use power or energy from the electric motor 64 and combustion of fuel oil, then the automobiles are hybrid electric vehicles in consumers' market. However, the present invention does not exist in prior art and is distinguished and inventive.
