Abstract

In this research paper,we use single cylinder spark ignition engine with oxy-hydrogen generator, bubbler to run Bajaj 110cc engine on water as secondary fuel. In which Bubbler is component used for the safety purpose in case of backfire from engine. As we uses mixture of gasoline and hydrogen as fuel. It reduce the consumption of gasoline & increases the mileage of vehicle. The performance and emission characteristics with hydrogen and gasoline are compared. From the results, it is found that there is a reduction of about 20% in the peak power output of the engine when operating with only hydrogen. The brake thermal efficiency with hydrogen is about 2% greater than that of gasoline. CO, CO2 and HC emissions were negligible with hydrogen operation. However, for hydrogen operation, NOx emission was four times higher than that of gasoline at full load power.
