The disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms.

The present invention provides an apparatus for generating thermal activated electron, which can generate activated electron that may be used by IC engine for efficient combustion of fuel. Further, the apparatus for generating thermal activated electron uses heat from the radiator coolant for heating. Also, the apparatus for generating thermal activated electron does not require any external source of energy. Furthermore, the apparatus for generating thermal activated electron is easy to manufacture and is robust in construction.

Referring now to figures 1 and 2, an apparatus 100 for generating thermal activated electron in accordance with the present invention is illustrated. The apparatus 1 00 includes an outer container 10, a conduit 20, an inlet conduit 30a, an out let condu it 30b and a plurality of elements 40. The outer container 10 is shown to have cyl indrical in shape, but it may be obvious to a person skilled in the art to have any other shape. The outer container 10 may be straight or bend for accommodation inside the engine compartment. The conduit 20 is disposed axially in the outer container 10. The conduit 20 having diameter less than that of outer container 1 0. In another embodiment, the outer container 10 and the conduit 20 may have any other shape, which is obvious to a person skilled in the art. Preferably, the conduit 20 is made of conducting material, specifically heat conducting material, such as copper. It may be obvious to a person skilled in the art to use other conducting material for making the conduit 20. Further, the outer container 1 0 is also made of conducting material, such as aluminium and the like. It may be obvious to a person skilled in the art to use other conducting material for making the outer container 10.

Further, the plurality of elements 40 are disposed between the outer container 10 and the conduit 20. The plurality of elements 40 can be selected from the group consisting of natural stones, which includes Sapphire, Silicon, Lava stone, Saffron, saffronite and the like. The space between the outer container 10 and the conduit 20 at both the ends are sealed, in an embodiment, the seal is made of plastic, rubber or any non-conducting/insulating material. It may be obvious to a person skilled in the art to use other material for making the outer container 10. In addition, the elements 40 can be metal alloys. .

Referring again to figure 1 , the inlet tube 30a is connected to the opening configured in the seal. The seal has one inlet and one outlet. At respective end the inlet tube 30a and the outlet tube 30b is connected. The outlet tube 30b is connected to the air inlet pipe of the IC engine, and the inlet tube 30a is provided for suction of fresh air from the surrounding or from an air filter of the engine inside the space. The heated coolant flows through the conduit 20 inside the outer container 10. Air comes inside the outer chamber 10 through the inlet tube 30a. The heated coolant passing through the conduit 20 heats the air flowing through space between the conduit 20 and the outer chamber 10. The elements 40 in the outer chamber 10 react with the Oxygen and other gases in the hot air. Due to this reaction, the Oxygen acquires the valence electrons in the outer shell and negative charge is acquired on the Oxygen molecule thereby changing the state of the molecular Oxygen to ionic state and free electrons are released from the elements 40.

The IC engine automatically absorbs air through an air filter (not shown in figure) when started, in the air filter, there is a normal intake of atmospheric air, which in turn helps in burning fossil fuels in the vehicle. However, molecular Oxygen help to break hydrocarbon chain in the fossil fuel, oxygen in the ionic state having charged electrons and free electrons breaks the hydrocarbon chain faster. When combustion takes place in the combustion chamber, the thermally activated electrons i.e. negatively charged oxygen and free electros in the air enhances the rate of breaking of carbon content in the fossil fuel thereby increasing the rate of combustion. This heated air when passed in the air suction pipe of the IC engine, enables maximum burning of the fuel thereby increasing the efficiency of the engine. The oxygen in the ionic state and the free electrons helps in increasing efficiency of the internal combustion engine and reduces production of noxious gases, such as COx, NOx, soot, HC and CO. The apparatus 100 and the method is easy to manufacture assemble, install and perform.

In an alternate embodiment, the elements 40 are in between the conduit 20 and the coolant is passed through the space between the outer container 10 and the conduit 20. In this embodiment, the conduit 20 is connected to the inlet pipe of the engine and other end is open for suction of fresh air.

In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method 200 for generating thermally activated electrons and ionic oxygen for enabling complete combustion of a fuel. The method 200 is explained in conjunction with the above- described apparatus 100. The method 200 starts at step 210.

At step 21 , the hot coolant from the engine is passed through the conduit 20. Thereafter, the plurality of elements 40 disposed around the conduit 20 and confined by the outer container 10 are heated at step 214, by the heat passed from the coolant transferred through the conduit 20. Upon heating the plurality of elements 40, oxygen is ionised and free electrons are released in the air. Further, at step 216 the ionised air is supplied to the air inlet of the engine, thereby reducing pollutants from the engine exhaust thereby increasing efficiency.

The method 200 ends at step 218.
