An apparatus which permits the conditioning of the wa. ter and carburants mixture, limited to pure water,causi ng an electromagnetic reaction capable of producing Hydrogen and a plas atic state of the matter.to be used in engines and heating systems.

It concerns to the use of el ectromagneti c energy obtaj_ ned primely from a combustible and, then from water and combustible mixture and, finally, from pure water, under the form of thermomagneti c energy (burners, boilers, etc) or propelling energy ( i nternal -combusti on engine or rea ti on engi ne) .

The decomposition of the water into i ts basi c elements (Oxygen an Hydrogen) is feasible, either by "Eletrolytic" or "Electromagnetic" process. Both processes demand a con_ siderable quantity of electrolytic or electromagnetic - ergy, stored oxygen and hydrogen, carriage of these el_e ments and their delayed application. The reactor, as it is suggested to be used, s not sub_ ject to such inconveniences since electromagnetic decomp _^ o sition of the water can be quickly and directly obtained, as far as it is used. The necessary and indispensable c_a lorific energy to the internal el ectromagneti c reacti on is ensured within the "cycle" confined to the right applic_a tion which eliminates the discrim nating inconveniences and risks inherent to the usual processes.

Another advantage of the conceived process "REACTOR TO USE WATER AND CARBURANTS MIXTURE AS FUEL" is to produ_ ce energy in a much more economical way.

The described reactor converts the mixture before its introduction in the inlet manifold of the engine. This mixture consists of water and carburants ( gasoline ,di esel , alcohol , ammonia, etc) limited to pure water, in view of its use in an engine or heating system.

Known in France as "Chambrin Device", patent number

75/06619, the Reactor,in face of the advanced researches carried out in Brazil, enables to put into practice the thermonuclear plasma theory improving its efficiency and economical operation. The referred theory is based on an£ ther mechanical principle of motion that is the electro magnetism. A gas is elastic. If it is highly wa-rmed up, it turns into plasma which is inwardly stirred,consequen_ t y producing an electric current which readjusted provj_ des nascent hydrogen. Although in France the Chambrin Device has also pno duced Hydrogen, it was- not achieved with the efficiency of the "REACTOR TO USE WATER AND CARBURANTS MIXTURE AS FUEL".

The efficiency achieved is due to an increased rota tory speed of the gases inside this "REACTOR" (Figures !, 2 and 3 - 1, Fig. 4 - longitudinal section and figures 5 and 6 - cross sections) providing a better use of the power and output of the engine (Figures 1, 2 and 3 - 3) which is obtained by connecting (Fig. 3 - 9) the exhaust manifold of the engine (9) to the outlet of the REACTOR (Figures 3 - 10) .

In view of the formal explanation of the energy-gen_e rating process and the results achieved with the several experiments, it may be confirmed that this apparatus is a "REACTOR TO USE WATER AND CARBURANTS MIXTURE AS FUEL". The REACTOR (1) is placed between the carburetor (2), already modified, and the engine block (3),so that it is well-integrated to the engine itself (Figure 1 - front view of the assemblage. The experiments carried out up till now, ith various models, show that, under certain operating conditions, the observed temperatures were the following (Fig. 2): around 800° C at the exit of the exhaust manifold of the engine (7), around 500° C at the outlet of the REACTOR (6), around 300° C at the end of the outlet tube,leading out the burnt gases (8), which is 2 m long.

The inlet manifold (Fig. 1, 2, 3) (4) and the exhaust pipes of the engine (5) lead the gases to high temperatu¬ res; it also happens to the new connection (Fig. 3 - 9 to 10). The REACTOR which could be considered, even before the connection, a unique one, regarding the ongoing advan¬ ced researches and experiments, became still more eff cient. Furthermore, the REACTOR can be built in other geometric shapes and operate according to the same principle. The basic operating principle of the "REACTOR TO USE WATER AND CARBURANTS MIXTURE AS FUEL" may be described as follows:

The direction of the gases course (Fig. 4) is indica_ ted from A to B, in the center of the REACTOR,where is s i_ tuated the VERY HOT ZONE (11) close to the exhaust manj_ fold. The region next to the external walls is denominated LESS HOT ZONE (12). The difference in temperature between these two zones is around 400° C, under cond tions in which the experiments were performed. The cold, pulverized and difused mixture along the tube (Figure 4 - 13 to 14) that ends at the LESS HOT ZONE warms up progressively in rot_a ^• ting movements (Figures 5 and 6 - cross sections) when in contact with the walls of the peripheral covering before going into the CENTRAL REGION (Figure 4 - 11). At this point, it achieves a maximum temperature soon after its admission in the inlet manifold of the engine, through a conduit situated in the ve ry hot zone, communicating the central region with the engine, taking the shortest way (Fi gure 4 - 1 ) . Therefore, from a necessary "Thermal Cap"the very hot portion of the central region is the basis of a "Thermoe_ lectric decomposition" of the admitted mixture. Such cojn dition is essential for its use as energetic agent of the engine. The new collector (Fig. 3 - 9 and 10) speeds up the process providing a more provitable use of the power and output of the engine.

All collectors (Fig. 3 - 4, 5, 6 and 9 and 10) must be properly protected from external temperatures.

The engine used, irrespective of its origin, needs no specific alterations but must have a compressure ratearound 12 to 20 and the inlet and exhaust pipes must allow the assembly of the REACTOR. It is also interesting the engine be endowed with a multiple sparking system and spark plugs with high "electric shock" potential, with rotating capabi_ lity. The carburetor used is a classical one, however, the float, the primary air inlet diffuser and the jet must be accurately adjusted, as the admitted mixture may change du_ ring operation. When cold, the REACTOR is fed wit a classi_ cal. fuel (gasoline or alcohol, for instance). Once the en_ giπe reaches its crossing temperature, the injected fuel carries progressively, or spontaneously, a compound mixtu_ re, in weight or volume, of a more and more reduced quant^ ty of alcohol and up to the limit of pure water.Therefore, the physicochemical nature of the mixture may vary during operation and, consequently, its specific weight. This ma kes possible, at any time, to adjust the combustion system according to the admitted mixture.

It was remarkably proved, during the accomplished ex_ periments, that the admitted quantity of "primary air" could be reduced as far as the quantity of water conta ned in the mixture increased. It demonstrates that a developed carb_u retor must act in response to the different vari bilitycri_ teria, either by manual means, or by automatic means or both automatic and manual means together. The vehicleswill have to have two tanks. A small one for the pure fuel and a normal one for the mixture that contains water. The fee_ ding by "electric pumps", the constant pressure and the va. riable consumption put together are the best way of feeding. The direct injection must be effected at the admission le_ vel , inside the REACTOR, and not at the combustion chambers level. It is necessary at least two pumps. One adjusted to prime combustible (such as alcohol) and the other to the

mixture or pure water. The adjustment may be performed using a "double-acting" cock which e ther cl oses the ixtu re, or pure water, inlet or opens t.

In view of the high temperatures registered inside the REACTOR (Fig. 4 - 11) and to ensure its good mechanj_ cal performance, it consists of a thick crown wheel , made of a material of high thermal conductivity. The pipes in which the consumed gases circulate are laid across the crown wheel from side to side. The admission of the mixture in the central region is effected in the less hot zone (Figure 4 - 12) through c_a librated holes where the sum of thei r sections corresponds exactly to the section of the passageways. These hoi es are arranged in order to facilitate the course of the fluid. The pipes provide passageways such that sum of their diameters corresponds, at all points, to the diameter of the passageway leading out the burnt gases. There are7 pj_ pes , one central and 6 peripheral (Figures 5 and 6). The non channelled parts are used as pre-heat-ing tubes. Such arrangement provides a well-fixed mechanical assembly.

The direction of the mixture course must necessarily be the same of the engine's rotation to avoid that oppjo sing magnetic fields restrain the mixture course from its spinning movement. The outside is conceived in order to fit the inlet m_a nifold, leading to the carburetor (Fig. 1 - 2 front view), in the section of the passageway, turning from an usually circular section into a similar lengthened rectangul ar se_c ti on. For manufacturing reasons and easy assembly, the cen_ tral region consists of two different parts: one, covered, has in its end, next to the very hot zone (Figure 4 - 13), an external screw thread to receive the adjoining part; the other, regardless of the prεcedeπt,is screwed to that last part. It is not externally covered but is endowed . with an outlet pipe favourably directed to enable its

connection with the inlet pipe of the engine. The new con_ ductor that joins the exhaust pipe of the engine to the less hot zone of the REACTOR may be attached by different means: welded or screwed. To avoid thermal losses at both admission and exhaust external joint levels as well as on the periphery of the apparatus and the graduation of the prevailing residual tern peratures at the outlet of the REACTOR (around 500° C) ,it has a "THERMAL SHIELD" which involving the assemblage can, on one hand, reheat the external walls of the REACTOR and, on the other hand, isolate from outside all elements sub_ mitted to high temperatures.

The new manifold (Fig. 3 - 9 to 10) consists of a connection with this shield from the exhaust pipe (Figure 3 - 9 in 7) to the less hot zone of the REACTOR (Figure 3 - 10 and Figure 4 - longitudinal section - 10).

The thermal shield consists of two metalic walls in red copper separated ^" from each other by a thermal insula¬ tor-amianthus or any product alike - of sufficient thick ness, so that the external wall would be more or less warm. A deflector is placed to provide a well distribution of the gases that strike against the thermal shield. It must be considered a way of ionizing the admitted mixture if the engine block is isolated from the sun, which can be performed using an electronic oscillator.

Finally, the accomplished researches and the achieved results proved that the feeding of the "REACTOR TO USE WA TER AND CARBURANTS MIXTURE AS FUEL", here presented, s the most efficient, although further studies may lead to other improvements.
