A combustion control system for an internal combustion engine. A control device with a vortex chamber has a tangential inlet connected to a gas supply at substantially atmospheric pressure, a second inlet, and an axial outlet connected directly to the gas inlet opening of the intake manifold. A condenser condenses water from the exhaust gas passing through the exhaust conduit. A gas inlet of a reactor device has a gas inlet connected directly to the exhaust manifold for drawing gas therefrom and an outlet connected to the second inlet of said control device by a conduit. The reactor device includes one or more ejectors for drawing in atmospheric air and for drawing in liquid water from the condenser, and for mixing the atmospheric air and water with gas from the exhaust manifold.

In an internal combustion engine employing water in the combustion process and having a combustion chamber with an intake manifold and an exhaust conduit, the combination of condensing means for condensing liquid from the engine exhaust gases and having scoop means perpendicular to the flow of exhaust gas for picking up a portion of the exhaust gas at the total pressure of said gas, liquid conducting means employing said total pressure for forcing and for conducting such condensed liquid to said intake manifold, and means for mixing atmospheric air with said liquid before supplying it to said intake manifold. A method of operating an internal combustion engine employing water in the combustion process and having an intake manifold, including the steps of condensing liquid from a portion of the engine exhaust gases while taking off the total pressure of said exhaust gases, conducting such condensed liquid to said intake manifold of the engine for use there, said conducting employing said total pressure as an impelling force, mixing atmospheric air with said condensed liquid, and introducing the resultant mixture into said intake manifold.
