Abstract: This paper is about an extensive approach to redesign Hydroxy gas generator which is also known as Hydrogen-Hydrogen-Oxygen (HHO) gas generator, that produces Hydroxy gas. This Hydroxy gas can be used to increase the fuel efficiency in spark ignition engines, which are widely used in automobile industry. In a spark ignition engine, high pressure products of combustion expand through a piston in order to generate power. Here the fuel burning process seems to be very primitive. Hence, unburned fuel remains after the burning process. This causes the air pollution which is one of the biggest challenges that researches face in the automobile industry. HHO generator is an approach to increase the fuel efficiency in a combustion engine by reducing the amount of unburned fuel. The proposed approach is based on an ordinary HHO generator. Although people use HHO generators in practice a very little research has been carried out in implementing an efficient system. In this research we mainly focused on finding an efficient way to redesign the configuration of an ordinary HHO generator that is efficient than an ordinary system. Here the generator was tested under several conditions in order to determine a convenient design for an efficient HHO generator. An efficient/optimal system is supposed to produce a large volume of Hydroxy gas using a very little power. Therefore, such a system will be able to increase the power of a spark ignition system while reducing the air pollution.
