A static mixer includes a plurality of mixing elements disposed parallel
to each other and arrayed annularly to define an inner cylindrical space
surrounded by these mixing elements. Each mixing element has stationary
vanes disposed in a circular passage. A blower supplying the air to the
static mixer is entirely or partly accommodated and fixed in the inner
cylindrical space of the static mixer. The static mixer and the blower
are disposed parallel to each other. The overall length of the fuel
mixture generating apparatus can be shortened.
