Fabrication of a Dry Cell Oxy Hydrogen Generator

Abstract

This paper discusses fabrication of oxy hydrogen generator using wet cell electrolysis method using SS304 stainless steel plates and neoprene gaskets. Using hydrogen as IC engine fuel is been an interested field of research for a long time, the interest in using hydrogen as IC engine fuel is increased recently due the shortage of fossil fuels and introduction of electric vehicles. The need for an alternative fuel to regular fossil fuels is increased as never before. In this paper a research is carried out on understanding the different methods of generation of oxy hydrogen, selection a best method based on various criteria, namely efficiency, availability of materials and cost. On the same basis mentioned, SS304 stainless was used to make the dry cell hydrogen generator. Amount of oxy hydrogen generated and method to add oxy hydrogen to engine intake and conducting engine performance and emission characteristics have to be done further.
