Fuel economy improvement by on board electrolytic hydrogen production

A hydrogas system, which is basically a hydrogen generator by water electrolysis, is presented. The system can be used for both spark ignited and compression ignition internal combustion engines. Within the compact structure of the system, tap water is electrolyzed by the so called `closed cell electrode technology'. Coal particles bonded together by a novel material constitute one pole of the electrolyzer circuitry making non-corrosive and wear free operation possible for years, without using any catalyzers like caustics and acids. Produced H and O are fed to the intake manifold. Due to the simultaneous H production and consumption, no storage is necessary and operation is safe.
