Abstract

This research focuses on development of hydrogen cell for petrol powered engine hydrogen that attached to 110cc motorcycle engine. Hydrogen (H2) has been widely known to emit only heat and water vapour when combusted. Research has been done to investigate the effect of adding hydrogen to the air-fuel mixture inside the intake manifold of a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE). The result is surprising as it shows significant increase in efficiency coupled with better fuel consumption and emission. The production of H2 is done via H2cell by utilizing the excessive electricity generated by the automobile alternator. Whenever there is electricity available then the system will power the H2cell thus producing the H2and also O2gases. H2will be channelled to the intake manifold where it will mix with the fuel and air. The mixture is then injected to the combustion chamber for power. The O2 gas is diverted to the exhaust manifold to help burning the CO and also the un-burnt fuel resulting in a greener emission with better fuel consumption. In-situ H2 production also eliminates the need of H2refuelling station which is costly and takes years to build. This H2 hybrid also does not require change of vehicle or engine. The H2 cell can be mounted on all commercial vehicles, locomotives and ships run either by petrol, natural gas, diesel or kerosene.
