Abstract

The present world is looking for an alternate fuel source to reduce the use of conventional resources. This paper introduces a new technique to use the hydrogen produced by electrolysis used as fuel for the vehicle. The fuel is HHO gas (hydrogen and hydroxide) which is generated by electrolysis. This paper also introduces a special kind of technology, in which renewable energy sources like solar energy and H2O are used to generate HHO gas. This fuel is having economical usefulness for our automobile industry. It will increase the efficiency of the engine and also reduce the emission to the environment. In this paper, the production rate of HHO gas which is influenced by the parameters like voltage, current, space between electrodes, time variation, and electrolyte concentration has been observed. In this research, the generation rates of wet and dry cells were also monitored.
