[0019] FIG. 2 is the cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 of the oxygen exciter according to the present invention; and

[0020] FIG. 3 is the schematic diagram of the oxygen excitation system for increasing efficiency and minimizing pollutants of combustion according to the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] Referring now to the drawings in detail, there is shown in FIGS. 1-3 the oxygen excitation system for increasing efficiency and minimizing pollutants of combustion generally designated as 10. Oxygen excitation system I0 comprises a power source 12 shown in FIG. 3, a radio frequency oscillator 14 being in communication to said power source 12 and configured to generate radio frequency (RF).

[0022] System 10 also comprises a radio frequency amplifier 16 as shown in the schematic diagram in FIG. 3 and being in communication with radio frequency oscillator 14 and configured to amplify the RF generated by radio frequency oscillator 14 and an oxygen exciter 18 being in communication to radio frequency amplifier 16 configured to convert a triplet oxygen into singlet oxygen. Radio frequency amplifier 16 is housed inside the radio frequency oscillator 14 in accordance with the invention but can be housed separately therefrom.

[0023] As discussed in the background, atmospheric air naturally contains triplet oxygen which is suitable for human consumption particularly in breathing while singlet oxygen is desirable in any combustion process which maximizes fuel efficiency and minimizes pollutants from exhaust gases. Hence, the invention provides an efficient means for converting triplet oxygen into singlet oxygen to be used in combustion. The power source 12, radio frequency oscillator 14, radio frequency amplifier 16 and oxygen exciter 18 are connected by any suitable means known in the art particularly electrical connection line L.

[0024] Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, oxygen exciter 18 is being defined by a hollow cylindrical body 20 having an intake portion 22 and an opposing discharge portion 24. Cylindrical body 20 is being provided inside with conductive elements designed to maximize oxygen excitation from triplet oxygen to singlet oxygen. Cylindrical body 20 is made of non-conductive material. Discharge portion 24 is configured to be connected to an air intake manifold before air/fuel mixture of an engine, either internal or external combustion.

[0025] The conductive elements being made of metal particularly of cathode electrodes configured to discharge the radio frequency electro-magnetic force to the flowing air thereby causing oxygen excitation. The conductive elements comprises a cross-shaped member 26 secured at the intake portion 22 of cylindrical body 20, an elongated circular conductor 28 being secured to cross-shaped member 26 and configured to be concentric with cylindrical body 20. Conductive elements such as cross-shaped member 26 and elongated circular conductor 28 are constructed and fixedly connected with each other generally by means of welding.

[0026] Still in FIG. 2, the cylindrical body 20 contains a conductive insulation 30 being circumferentially secured inwardly from the edge of the discharge portion 24 of cylindrical body 20 and a T-shaped member 32 being secured at the discharge portion 24 of cylindrical body 20. T-shaped member 32 is being defined by a first member 34 diametrically secured at discharge portion 24 and a second member 36 projecting inwardly from said first member 34 whereby said first member 34 being in contact with conductive insulation 30 and the second member 36 being substantially disposed inside the circular conductor 28.

[0027] The combustion system according to the present invention may in principle be implemented by incorporating a radio frequency oscillator 14 and oxygen exciter 18 into any of various conventional combustion systems. As mentioned above, combustion reaction using singlet oxygen completely differs from combustion reaction using triplet oxygen wherein singlet oxygen being highly reactive and much more desirable in combustion. The oxygen excitation from triplet oxygen molecules to singlet oxygen molecules is diagrammed in FIG. 3 and done by means of power source 12 which is either a DC voltage electrical current from battery or converted from AC power. This electrical power produced by power source 12 is input into the radio frequency oscillator 14 to generate a specific RF operating at range of 50 KHz to 100 MHz. Then, the RF is amplified through radio frequency amplifier 16. The amplified RF is then fed into the oxygen exciter 18. The air that enters the intake portion 22 is subjected to RF electro-magnetic force thereby causing oxygen excitation. Discharge portion 24 is being connected to air intake manifold before the air/fuel mixture chamber.

Such reference herein to specific embodiments and details thereof is not intended to limit the scope of the claims appended hereto. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications may be made in the embodiment chosen for illustration such as shape, configuration, material and quantities without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
