Internal combustion engine efficiency enhancer by using hydrogen

ABSTRACT

Most cars work by burning a liquid fuel with oxygen. Fuel is squirted into a chamber with air, it evaporates into a gaseous mixture, it lights, the burning gases expand, which in turn produces motive power. The car begins to move. The Problem is that becomes more expensive. With these rising costs of gasoline and diesel fuel, we decided to try using hydrogen as a means of alternative power for the car. With a hydrogen generator, the idea is to replace some of the gasoline with hydrogen. Gaseous hydrogen burns readily and produces loads of power. The idea is that the extra boost (not replacement) in gasoline power from the hydrogen would cause a gasoline-burning engine to back off on using so much gasoline. This in turn should result in less gas being burned. This paper brings about hydrogen fuel generator, whose fuel generated can be used as alternate source of fuel.
