Abstract
An apparatus () for reducing the size of fuel particles injected into a combustion chamber is disclosed. The apparatus includes fuel line (), a first metallic mesh () disposed within the fuel line (), and a second metallic mesh () disposed within the fuel line (), upstream of the first metallic mesh (). An electrical supply () is electrically coupled to the first metallic mesh () and the second metallic mesh (). Operation of the electrical supply () generates an electrical field between the first metallic mesh () and the second metallic mesh (). A fuel injector () is disposed at an end of the fuel line (), downstream from the first metallic mesh (). Methods of reducing the size of fuel particles, improving gas mileage in a vehicle, increasing power output from a combustion engine, and improving emissions for a combustion engine are also provided.
