Abstract
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for introducing a catalyst into a fuel mixture. The method includes placing water in a container; passing air through the water to ionize at least a portion of the air molecules wherein at least a major portion of the air ions have a negative charge; and introducing the ionized air into a fuel mixture. In this manner, the efficiency of the combustion of the fuel mixture is increased. The apparatus includes a container for holding water, a manifold mechanism for passing air through the water in the container in a number of streams of small bubbles and means for removing substantially all mist from the ionized air before the ionized air is removed from the container. Means are provided for removing the ionized air from the container after the air has passed through the water and for then introducing the ionized air into a fuel mixture.
