Abstract
An ultrasonic fuel atomizer which is inserted between a standard carburetor and intake manifold of an internal combustion engine to cause a more uniform mixture of fuel and air to be attained, thereby promoting fuel economy and increasing the efficiency of combustion. The apparatus driver a vibrating plate assembly which is excited by a driven such as a piezo electrical crystal. Within the housing of the apparatus there is formed a cavity through which fuel and air must travel along a prescribed path which causes large droplets of fuel to impinge upon the vibrating plate, thereby drastically reducing the droplet size of the fuel.
