An effective result of this distinctive new design is that the device is smaller, enabling installation in small vehicles. In addition, the distinctive design makes the device easy to install and maintain, since the base of the device is only 7 x 7 cm, which facilitates installation in motors, vehicles and generators that use petroleum hydrocarbons as fuel, in addition to significantly reducing the production cost of this type of device.
