Abstract
An impact nozzle that atomizes fuel and minimizes liquefication at a supercharger intake manifold comprises a body defining an enclosed channel having proximal and distal ends, a means for attaching a jet to the proximal end, and a pedestal spanning the distal end. An impact pin extending proximally from the pedestal is spaced distally from the distal end of the channel. The impact pin may be mounted to a central longitudinal member having four contoured sides each having a maximum thickness at its distal end and a minimum thickness at its proximal end, the minimum thickness occurring along one of four straight edges that define a rectangular end of the central longitudinal member to which the impact pin is attached, and each border between any two contoured sides forming a sharp contoured edge for evenly dispersing atomized fuel.
