Internal Combustion Engine with reduced noise and increased performance

Abstract

This invention relates generally to a system for reducing the noise and increasing the performance of an internal combustion engine. More specifically, the invention is an apparatus and method of using the same which utilizes standard mechanics of the vehicle itself to achieve its objectives. While this invention is generally intended for engines mounted on bicycles, the principles apply to any motor vehicle equipped with spokes, wheels, or fans.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) An apparatus capable of reducing the noise and increasing the performance of an internal combustion engine comprised of
 a. A vehicle,   b. An internal combustion engine, further comprised of an exhaust port,   c. An exhaust pipe, further comprised of a first end and second end, and   d. At least one rotating mechanism, where   e. The internal combustion engine is mounted on the vehicle in a fashion where it is capable of propelling the vehicle and the first end of the exhaust pipe is attached to the exhaust port, and the second end of the exhaust pipe is facing towards and very near the rotating mechanism.   
     
     
         2 ) The apparatus in  claim 1  where the rotating mechanism is a spoked wheel. 
     
     
         3 ) The apparatus in  claim 1  where the rotating mechanism is a wheel. 
     
     
         4 ) The apparatus in  claim 1  where the rotating mechanism is a fan.
