Abstract
Apparatus for improving the mixing or blending of the charge of fuel and air to an internal combustion engine and for increasing the quantity of the fuel-air charge to the engine. A rotor member, having a sealing blade and at least one blade member which is angled with respect to a radial reference through the axis of the rotor, is rotated in a housing to draw a portion of the fuel-air charge from a carburetor, to increase the quantity of that portion, to create turbulence in the flow of the fuel-air mixture and to more thoroughly blend the fuel with the air before the mixture is delivered to the cylinder intake of an internal combustion engine.
