  100 MPG Carb

There is a product that was marketed a few years ago called a Tornado--it was similar to that. All it did was mix the air and the fuel better by swirling it. It more doubled the mileage from 12 to somewhere around 25 or 28.



From a physics point of view the vortex would cause the droplets to get as the centrifugal force pushed them outwards and together, with lots of it likely accumulating as liquid on the inside of the carbs throat.

As was mentioned earlier on, in order to increase the overall efficiency of an 'infernal' combustion engine, you would need to first reduce the parasitic losses such as mechanical friction and heat.

Until those losses are dealt with there's really very little gasoline left to be burnt better to increase the overall mileage.

Best of luck.

Maybe not congress, but certainly California and the CARB would study it....... Laughing out loud

I'm not sure that process would accomplish very much.

Conventional wisdom (read physics) says you want the air/fuel mixture going into the engine to be as cold as possible in order to capitalize on both the reduced volume of intake product meaning you get a better fuel/air charge, and the added expansion increasing the overall 'kick' of the ignition or power stroke of the engine.

Manufacturers go to great length to add inter-coolers, etc., to turbo-charged vehicles for exactly that reason, to prevent the exhaust going through the turbo from pre-heating the air/fuel charge before it gets to the engine.

Best of luck.
