Update on Fuel Vaporizer...
Yes, I know direct injection is the "wave of the future" for automotive engines. This process/device is designed to work on our carbureted TBI and small engines, which are severely inefficient compared to "Skyactiv".
They won't direct inject small engines because it cost too much to mfg for such small engines with relatively small hp and output, short term use. The small engine industry is in the billions.
The idea with using it on hotrods is simply so we can keep our old timers going and meet emissions standards at the same time. The EPA has already threatened to put limits on what we can emit, modern "emission controls" rob the engine of HP and Torque, not to mention they suck, lol? They will probably try to do it again. So I'm trying to do us all a favor.
This is a patent pending on a process, not a device. So it would be hard to duplicate, if not impossible. The devices/baffles used to implement this process can be stamped out of copper, aluminum or molded out of plastic for the small engines. It is highly effective, cheap to mfg, the pollution reduction is closer to 80% for small engines. It works off of the engine's own intake velocity, which is pretty high for small engines and hot rods. It is a stationary baffle as opposed to the complexity of a rotating or vibrating one.
This process creates no air flow restriction.There is a significant gain in HP/Torque, Efficiency is boosted, better gas mileage and for the small engines, grass mileage, and the emissions HC and Carbon Monoxides are reduced. There are no losses. The modern emission controls on your typical small engine cost the mfg $5. My baffle would cost about .05 cents to make! The only foreseeable problem is the expense in making a new product for every engine size. Such as a 14 hp motor would require a different design than a 5 hp motor. A 318 engine with "X" number of modifications would differ from a 383. But the carbs for small engines are pretty much customized to match the motor. The carbs and TBIs nowadays are made to be flexible to match the engine they are installed on as well.
But with today's technology, flow software, and CAD, I believe this design hurtle could be over come easily.
