HHO generator–an approach to increase fuel efficiency in spark ignition engines

Abstract

This paper is all about designing an efficient Hydrogen-Hydrogen-Oxygen (HHO) generator, that produces Hydroxy gas which can be used to increase the fuel efficiency in an internal combustion engine. In a combustion engine, high pressure products of combustion expand through a turbine or a piston in order to generate power. In this scenario the high pressure products act as a working fluid. Currently there are three types of combustion engines in practice; Spark ignition engine, Diesel engine and Turbine engine. In these engines 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 efficient approach that used to increase the fuel efficiency in a combustion engine by increasing the energy produced per mole of fuel during the ignition process. As a result the amount of unburned fuel in a combustion engine was reduced. 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 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 engine while reducing the air pollution.
