A induction exhaust system, for an internal combustion engine, capable of the multi step processes of 1) scavenging the chamber of exhaust gases and free radicals, 2) breaking the scavenge vacuum wave behind each energetic exhaust pulse, releasing said free radicals and the overscavenged air fuel vacuumed from the intake manifold during valve overlap, and 3) induction of such free radicals, unburned fuel, and fresh matter including atmospheric air. Such multi step process 1) relatively improves the fuel efficiency of such engines by reducing the wasted potential energy normally expelled by exhaust systems; unburned fuel, sound pressure energy, waste heat energy, energy rich free radicals formed by incomplete combustion, and energy rich catalytic converter products rich in potential energy that can be further combusted via induction, 2) increases catalytic converter efficiency by forcing unburned air fuel and free radicals to make multiple passes through such converter, thereby increasing residency time, 3) reduces emissions of undesirable compounds and free radicals via induction, 4) improves relative effective octane rating of fuel used by creating a unique composition of matter that acts to refract and reflect sonic detonation shock waves, disrupting and disbursing them, reducing detonation, thereby improving combustion efficiency, and 5) allows a new means to direct combustion process products and/or remove undesirable products, and/or introduce desirable matter into a combustion chamber, allowing further alteration of such unique composition of matter layered on top of such engine's prime mover combustion surface, and 6)including an adaptive means to dynamically optimize its function.
