[0007]

The first invention of the present application is based on the technical idea that the conventional fuel efficiency improving device radiates far infrared rays to the fuel to activate the fuel to improve the fuel efficiency. It was completed based on the technical idea of improving the fuel consumption by radiating far infrared rays to a portion where a loss occurs due to the occurrence of, especially a differential or a transmission to reduce the mechanical loss. Then, it was proved that the fuel consumption improving effect is exceptional as compared with the conventional case. It is presumed that the reason is that the lubricating oil that lubricates the mechanical friction parts such as the gears of the differential or the transmission is activated by far infrared rays, and the mechanical loss is greatly reduced.

The second invention of the present application is based on the same technical idea as that of the first invention, but far infrared radiation having an effect that further exceeds the fuel consumption improving effect of the far infrared radiator made of a conventionally known metal oxide ceramic. It was obtained as a result of seeking the body. It is also clear to the inventor whether or not the electromagnetic wave radiator mainly composed of the crystal, the metal oxide and the noble metal of the second invention of the present application is included in the concept of the far infrared radiator. Instead, it only subjectively thinks it is included. Aside from that, it is a fact that the inventor arranged the electromagnetic wave radiator of the second invention completed over many years in a differential or a transmission, and a surprising fuel consumption improving effect was obtained. Compared with the case where the oxide ceramics are arranged, the fuel consumption improving effect is remarkably excellent.
