Abstract

An approach is conducted to make the hydrolytic system integrate to the automotive, by extracting energy from the vehicle, making it self-sufficient. The rotation and torque produced by the engine, generated electricity to power battery, head lights and various other accessories. The same technology is used to extract current for the hydrolysis process. The produced elemental gases are mixed as fuel enhancer into the IC engine, thus improving its efficiency, in terms of brake horse power (BHP), reduced specific fuel consumption and reducing unburnt harmful exhaust. This paper projects the design of a system, that taps electricity from engine torque, produces hydroxyl gas, safely passing it into existing engine to assist the normal fuel combustion; this has been integrated into 2004 model of TVS Victor GX, which can be implemented to such bikes at low cost. It also reports the betterment in the automotive parameters such as 67% and 54% reduction in emission of partially burnt carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbon respectively, at the engine exhaust.
