Abstract
An electromagnetic fuel atomizer for internal combustion engine applications which includes a generally C-shaped core of integral ferromagnetic construction having arms which form a pair of flat parallel surfaces spaced from each other to form a gap therebetween. The core structure is characterized by a fundamental resonant frequency determined in part by mass and elasticity of the core structure, and the ferromagnetic core is electromagnetically energized at such fundamental resonant frequency. Liquid fuel is supplied to the gap between the core arm surfaces, and standing waves are generated therein as the core arms vibrate with respect to each other. As amplitude of oscillations and such standing waves increase, fuel droplets break away from the standing wave nodes and are aspirated into the engine.
