Abstract


Due to improving urbanization there is the need of an alternative fuel to face the fuel demand in the world for the present scenario. Some of the alternative fuels such as Bio-diesel, Solar energy, nuclear energy are playing vital role in the alternative energy resources. In addition to these water is also one of the renewable energy resources having two molecules of Hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen which can be separated by the Electrolysis process. This Oxy-Hydrogen gas has been used as a fuel for S.I engines [1]. The aim of using this Oxy-Hydrogen gas is to avoid the formation of hazardous compounds due to burning of fossil fuels in S.I engines. The exhaust of Oxy-Hydrogen gas contains water vapour and Oxygen which is Eco friendly. Also provides root cause to avoid the formation of green house effect. This method of implementing ecofriendly gases as a fuel leads to reduce the earth from danger and helps to prevent the future generation.

Keywords

"You start with water, you break it apart into its constituent elements (hydrogen and oxygen), and then you recombine them by burning. ...
