Abstract

A method and device for adding special substances to the gaseous outflow of the jet engine in order to create a “virtual wall” of increased pressure zone behind the jet engine nozzle which can serve as a support for the jet engine gas outflow to push against, thus increasing the thrust power of the jet engine. This increase in acceleration power results in the accelerated movement of the jet engine equipped vehicle or higher fuel efficiency. A device that adds the special substances to the gaseous outflow is proposed. Characteristics of the special substances, which if added into the jet engine gaseous outflow may create a “virtual wall” of increased pressure zone behind the jet engine, are proposed.

Claims

1. A method for adding substances to a gaseous flow of a jet engine by means of a multiplicity of breakable members containing an expandable fluid substance capable of being increased in volume, wherein the jet engine comprises a body having an interior extending between a jet inlet and a jet outlet discharging an exhaust gas flow, said method comprising the steps of:

delivering the breakable members containing the fluid substance to the jet engine outlet;

mixing said exhaust gas flow with said breakable members;

breaking said breakable members; and

releasing said fluid substance into the gaseous flow causing creation of an increased pressure zone behind the jet engine outlet.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the increased pressure zone behind the jet engine outlet provides a support for the jet engine outflow gasses to be pushed against.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the increased pressure zone behind the jet engine outlet is being continuously generated.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the increased pressure zone behind the jet engine outlet is generated at optimum time intervals.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein a rear nozzle is associated with the jet engine outlet, said multiplicity of breakable members is delivered to said jet engine outlet through said rear nozzle.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said expandable fluid substance is a gaseous substance selected from the group including oxygen, hydrogen, and water vapors.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said expandable fluid substance is a liquid substance selected from the group including water and alcohol.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said breakable members have a ball-shaped configuration.

9. The device of claim 1, wherein said expandable fluid substance is a mixture of water and oxygen.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein said steps of breaking said members and releasing said fluid substance causes creation of a virtual wall providing an additional support and thrust to newly arriving gas flow at the jet engine outlet.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein said breakable members are made from biodegradable materials.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the breakable members are held in a compressed state in a storage tank under pressure that is similar to or higher than a working pressure at a jet engine outlet area.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein water is added into an area behind the engine outlet.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein a mixture of water and oxygen is added into an air inlet of the jet engine.
