Abstract
An atomizer including a fuel output portion shaped to provide a fuel output and an air swirler portion shaped to direct streams of air at the fuel. The air swirler portion includes an outer opening and an inner opening located radially inwardly relative to the outer opening. The inner and outer openings are arranged such that an air stream passed through the inner opening does not intersect a conical section defined by an air stream passed through the outer opening unless both of said air streams are moving at least partially radially outwardly.
