Abstract

Fluid fuel traveling through a fuel line is ionized by the action of infrared rays emitted from a ceramic material disposed within two cases containing multiple compartments through which the fuel line extends. Both cases contain pairs of permanent magnets which establish magnetic flux patterns tending to break-up the fuel into small particles. A resonator is mounted in a compartment of one case and a resonance vibrator is mounted opposite said resonator in a compartment of the other case. Two layers of a material emitting infrared rays are disposed on opposite sides of the fuel line with an additional magnetic member being disposed between said layers.
