Improvement of ecological indicators of vehicles by impact of magnetic fields on fuel-air mixture

Method for improving the environmental safety of vehicles equipped with gasoline engines is proposed. The method consists in simultaneous action of permanent magnetic fluxes with various polarities on fuel and air of basic power systems. The technique and results of experimental and theoretical studies on effect of magnetic fields on process of mixing and combustion of a fuel-air mixture in internal combustion engines are presented. Permanent magnets of different shapes and strengths were installed in various versions on the vehicle with the carburetor gasoline engine which was not equipped with exhaust gas neutralization system to create magnetic fluxes of a given configuration and intensity. The most unfavorable for toxicity modes of idling, minimum rotation speed and increased speed of crankshaft rotation were considered. Temperature and composition of exhaust gases were studied. Result of the experimental studies was reduction of such toxic components as carbon monoxide by 16-40 %, hydrocarbons by 2-20 %, nitrogen oxides by 1,25-35 % for the minimum rotating speed and reduction of CO by 0,2-20 %, CH by 12-40 % NOx by 10-14,9 % for increased rotating speed. Also dependences describing influence of magnetic fluxes on toxic components of the exhaust gases were obtained. The proposed method for improvement of ecological safety of the vehicles equipped with gasoline internal combustion engines is one of the simplest and cheapest among the previously known.
