System for use with an internal combustion engine effective for increasing power and improving fuel usage

摘要

The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine and, more particularly, an internal combustion engine having a new and novel system for improving the efficiency of the engine. In a preferred embodiment the system comprises an expander effective for receiving condensed engine exhaust and placing said exhaust in contact with copper or a copper alloy and for transforming the exhaust into vapor for transfer into the combustion chamber of the engine. In a preferred embodiment the system further comprises a condenser means for cooling the exhaust exiting the engine sufficiently to condense any water vapor and/or fuel vapor to form a liquid mixture or water and fuel, collecting and storing the liquid mixture, and directing the stored liquid mixture to the expander.
