A combustion control system for an automotive engine in a vehicle. A sidestream exhaust gas tube has a scoop inlet in the engine\s exhaust-gas conduit. A first metallic tube portion leads from the scoop to a point forward of the vehicle\s radiator, so that it directly receives ambient air on its exterior surface, thereby cooling the exhaust gas to near ambient-temperature. A water trap then removes condensed water from the sidestream exhaust gas, along with entrained particles. A final insulating tube portion extends rearwardly of the radiator and helps to limit reheating of the cooled exhaust gas while conducting it to a reactor device. There, an inlet for the exhaust gas receives the cooled exhaust gas and conducts it to first ejector for drawing in aqueous liquid and to a second ejector for drawing in atmospheric air and mixing it with the gas-liquid mixture from the first ejector. The reactor\s outlet is connected to an axial inlet of a device having a vortex chamber with a tangential inlet connected to a gas supply at substantially atmospheric pressure. An axial outlet from the vortex chamber is connected directly to a gas inlet opening of the engine, leading to the intake manifold, which is free from obstructions and leads in one chamber to the intake valves of all cylinders or combustion chambers.

A combustion control method for an automotive engine in a vehicle having a large, open intake manifold leading to a plurality of cylinders with intake valves and exhaust valves leading to an exhaust conduit, comprising keeping the intake manifold wide open with no ducts and no barriers, so that all of the cylinders are joined in said large, open intake manifold, supplying fuel to said intake manifold, withdrawing a sidestream of gas from said exhaust gas, cooling said sidestream to below water condensation temperature, removing the condensed water from said cooled sidestream, creating a whirling, tornado-like stream of gas, providing said stream with the cooled, moisture-free exhaust gas, and also with a desired quantity of liquid, said tornado-like stream acting to shear said liquid and vaporize it, sending said stream with its exhaust gas and liquid vapor into said manifold with a low-pressure vortex center, thereby creating a vapor-laden whirling charge to each cylinder when its said intake valve is open.
