BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hydroxygen gas generates hydrogen and oxygen gas for an internal combustion engine through a hydrogen and Oxygen fuel enhancement process. The hydrogen and Oxygen fuel enhancement is the process of using a mixture of hydrogen, Oxygen and conventional hydrocarbon fuel in both internal and external combustible engines, typically in trucks/bus and coal powered plants in an attempt to improve fuel economy, power output, emissions, or a combination thereof. Methods include hydrogen and Oxygen produced through a hydrolysis process, reforming conventional fuel into hydrogen and Oxygen with a hydroxygenated liquid.

For generating a hydrogen gas, a plurality of prior art had been developed. One of such prior arts discloses a decarbonization device for engine decarbonization includes an hydroxygen supplying unit, a dryer unit connected to the hydroxygen supplying unit, an exhaust unit connected to the dryer unit, and a pressure adjusting unit connected to the exhaust unit . The hydroxygen supplying unit is configured to supply hydroxygen gas . The dryer unit is configured to dry the hydroxygen gas from the hydroxygen supplying unit .

However, the prior arts have major flaw in practical implementation as prior art apparatus are bulky in nature and requires large amount of input power for generation of hydroxygen gas .

In the view of foregoing, there is a need for an apparatus for generation of a hydroxygen gas and a liquified hydroxygen working as an input to a combustion engine. Also, there is a need for an apparatus for enhancing -et combustion efficiency and reducing a carbon emission in a combustion engine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

FIG. la illustrates an apparatus for production of hydrogen gas connected to an internal combustion engine, according to one embodiment of the present invention. With respect to FIG. la, the apparatus comprises a production unit, a supply unit, and a control unit (105) . The production unit comprises an isolation chamber (101) and a liquefier chamber (102) . The supply unit comprises a gas supply line (103) and a liquid supply line (104) . In an embodiment, the liquid is atomised. The liquefier chamber or bubble chamber (102) is a container for hydroxygenation process, where the water or liquid (atomised) will be hydroxygenated (charged) before vapoured into a combustion chamber. The charged liquid molecules create negative ions during vaporisation and forms nanoscopic bubbles which synchronises during combustion and decomposes carbon particles. The gas supply line (103) is connected to the isolation chamber (101) and the liquid supply line (104) is connected to the liquefier chamber (102) . The control unit (105) is connected to the supply unit to control a flow rate, volume and pressure of a hydroxygen gas and a hydroxygen liquid.

With respect to FIG. lb, the control unit comprises an air/vapour inlet (105a) and a liquid inlet for liquified hydroxygen. The control unit further comprises regulated outlets (105c and 105d) for the air and the liquid respectively .

With respect to FIG. lc, the process for generation of hyroygen gas comprises a power input to a fuel cell leading to isolation of hydrogen, oxygen and pantone gas molecules and accumulating over the water stored in the isolation chamber. The said gases get mixed with an air-fuel mixture before entering the engine's combustion chamber for increased fuel mileage by giving a complete octane rate thus leave zero carbon emission. Positive coiling electrodes are fixed inside the cell housing and connected to a positive circuit. The fuel cell comprises a positive coil which is connected to the engine power source. Further, the fuel cell's negative coil is mounted inside the fuel cell and indexed with specific distance between the positive coils. The negative coil is attached to a negative circuit which is a breaker rod inside the cell. The breaker rod is fixed to a flexible unit connected to an engine rotational modulator. When both the position and negative coils are activated, a reciprocated gas flow oxygenates and hydrogenates the water which is known as charged water. The fuel cell comprises a cut-off relay (108) , a voltage regulator (109) and an electrically controller valve (110) . The electrically controlled valve (110) is connected to the voltage regulator (109) for controlling an exposure area, hence leading to controlled flow of the hydroxygen gas and the liquified hydroxygen. The cut-off relay is implemented for a power flow to the voltage regulator from a battery unit (111) .

The atomized fluid enhances the octane rate inside the combustion chamber of an engine, thus leaves zero carbon and unburnt particles from discharging into the atmospheric air. When the engine increases in speed, the positive and negative coil's current move closer with low resistance towards the negative coils resulting in increasing the amount of hydrogen, oxygen and pantone gas.

The hydrogen and oxygen gaseous mixture is in preferred molar ratio of 2:1 and is transferred to the gas supply line through a first outlet valve (106) . The gaseous mixture is then transferred to the air intake valve connected to the combustion cylinder of the vehicle. Further, an excessive hydroxygen gas is transferred to the liquefier chamber through a second outlet valve (107) . The liquefier chamber comprises a liquid preferably water which results in formation of liquified hydroxygen gas as the hydrogen gas has high affinity to liquid molecules. The liquefied hydroxgen gas is then passed into the fuel intake valve to be fed into the combustion cylinder along with conventional fuel. The presence of hydroxygen gas during combustion increases a combustion of fuel as the oxygen is high and a combustion of hydrogen molecule along with the conventional fuel molecules leads to reduction in carbon emission and hence increase fuel efficiency with respect to conventional combustion engine.

FIG . 2 illustrates a graphical representation of a comparison of power output by the internal combustion engine with and without implementation of the said apparatus, according to one embodiment of the present invention. The power output of the internal combustion engine increase per unit of revolution per minute (RPM) of the engine's output shaft with implementation of the said apparatus on comparison to the power output by the combustion engine using conventional fuel. The increase power output with respect to the engine RPM ranges from 7- 15%, wherein the power output change is higher at higher RPM.

FIG . 3 illustrates a graphical representation of a comparison of fuel consumption by the internal combustion engine with and without implementation of the said apparatus, according to one embodiment of the present invention. The increase in fuel consumption efficiency ranges from 10-90%, wherein the increase fuel consumption efficiency is higher at higher RPM or gear ration of the vehicle i.e. the conventional fuel consumption per unit of distance travelled is reduced. In one embodiment, the fuel consumption efficiency ranges from 50% to 70%. The detailed increase is shown in Table no. 1:

FIG . 4 illustrates a graphical representation of a comparison of a hydrocarbon (CO) emission by the internal combustion engine with and without implementation of the said apparatus, according to one embodiment of the present invention. The increase in mileage over a continuous running of the vehicle is nearly 50% to 70% and reduction in hydrocarbon (CO) emission to nearly 90%. The detailed change is given in Table no. 2:

The said apparatus is designed to be used along with the combustion engine as well as in a power generation unit of factories which uses a combustion engine. The said apparatus leads to reduction in fuel co sumption by 50-70%, reduction in hydrocarbon emission by 95%, reduction in vehicle maintenance cost by about 50%, increase in engine torque and increase engine horse power.

As will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, the present invention may easily be produced in other specific forms without departing from its essential characteristics. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered as merely illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the claims rather than the foregoing description, and all changes which come within therefore intended to be embraced therein .
