HYDROGEN POWERED PETROL ENGINE

In this paper we have studied the basic properties of gas generated through electrolysis of water and then used this gas inthe a bike as a fuel with gasoline by mixing it with
air. This results the increased mileage of bike 30 to 60% and reduce the polluting contents from the exhaust gases.The threat posed by climate change and thestriving for securities of energy supply are issues high on the political agenda these days. Governments are putting strategic plan motion to decrease primary energy use, take carbon out of fuels and facilitate modal shifts. Taking a prominent place in these strategic plans is hydrogen as a future energy carrier. Energy
stored in hydrogen would be available at any time and at any place on Earth, regardless of when or where the solarirradiance, the hydropower, or other renewable sources such as biomass, ocean energy or wind energy was converted..
 
Hydrogen gas combined with the standard air/fuel
mixture increases the mileage. This form of alternative fuel is provided by a hydrogen generator mounted in the vehicle. Once set up is ready, the hydrogen gas (fuel) will be produced
fromwater, an electrolyte compound, and electricity supplied from a battery provided. Here we are designing a mixed fuel two wheeler engie.ie in a conventional SI engine we are incorporating traces of hydrogen along with gasoline in order to minimum consumption of gasoline as well as to increase the power of vehicle. Here in addition, a hydrogen generating unit is made to produce hydrogen .It is actually an electrolysis unit having high grade stainless steel/graphite/semiconductors as electrodes in a closed container and mixture of distilled water & suitable ionic solution(KOH or NAOH) as electrolyte. Power for electrolysis is taken from an additional battery provided (12V).Thisbattery can be recharged from a dynamo/alternator/motor provided on the vehicle.
