INTAKE DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND FABRIC FOR INTAKE AIR ACTIVATION

摘要

An intake device for internal combustion engines which activates intake air to attain a reduction in fuel consumption; and a fabric for intake air activation which is for use in the device. An intake air activation fabric (10) is attached to an intake pipe (2m) made of a nonmetallic material or to an air filter. This intake air activation fabric (10) is constituted of conductive fibers obtained by coating insulating fibers (13) each comprising at least one filament having a single-fiber diameter of 0.1-60 µm with a ferromagnetic metallic film (14) having a thickness of 1 µm or smaller. The fabric has many through-holes (12) piercing the fabric.
