2. OBJECTIVES
To create alternative fuel using hydrogen
To obtain zero carbon emission.
To reduce the usage of fossil fuels.
To create cost effective fuel.
To offer longer driving ranges.
To increase the economy of the country.
3. MOTIVATION
• Some automobile companies around the
world are developing hydrogen-fueled
technologies.
• Due to the high demand of oil and its main
associated problems for the environment,
such as air pollution and gas emissions
• some companies such as BMW, Honda
and Mazda are developing cars powered
by hydrogen fueled internal combustion
engines (H2ICEs).
4. MOTIVATION
• Dual-fuel internal combustion engine vehicles that
combine gasoline and hydrogen could be the
alternative solution to our environmental problems.
• Vehicle conversion to dual-fuel operation is
technically feasible and low cost. Moreover, some
countries award tax credits for installing hybrid
hydrogen upgrades.
• It is the simplicity of this design, as well as the
positive environmental effects that come with HHO
generators that is motivating us to pursue this
project.
5. INTRODUCTION
• Hydrogen fuel is a clean and renewable energy
source that can be used for a variety of
applications, including powering vehicles,
generating electricity, and heating buildings.
• When hydrogen is burned as a fuel, it reacts with
oxygen to produce water and heat, with no
emissions of harmful pollutants such as carbon
monoxide and nitrogen oxides.
• This makes hydrogen a clean and sustainable
alternative to fossil fuels, which emit harmful
pollutants when burned.
6. • Hydrogen fuel can be stored as a gas or a liquid,
and can be transported and distributed through
pipelines or tanker trucks, similar to natural gas.
• Overall, hydrogen fuel is a promising alternative
to traditional fossil fuels, offering clean and
renewable energy for a variety of applications.
• the distribution of hydrogen fuel is still a significant
challenge, as the infrastructure to support widespread
use of hydrogen fuel is not yet in place.
7. • Hydrogen fuel can be produced from a variety of
sources, including natural gas, water, and
biomass.
• Another method of hydrogen production is
electrolysis, in which an electric current is used to
split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
• This process can be powered by renewable energy
sources such as wind and solar power, making it a
truly sustainable method of hydrogen production.
10. PROJECT CONCEPT
• Operating a bike with the help oxy-
hydrogen as a fuel supplement.
• The electricity required for electrolysis is
obtained from 12V battery
• The generator is powered by alternator and
battery of the vehicle
• The separated hydrogen gas is injected into
the engine through carburetor
11. METHODOLOGY
STEP 1: Splitting of hydrogen and oxygen
is done by electrolysis process.
STEP 2: Electrolysis is done by 12 V
battery inside the vehicle which will be
charged by alternator of the vehicle.
STEP 3: The separated hho gas is collected
and allowed to flow through the air intake.
STEP 4: This process is controlled by pulse
width modulator
12. TECHNOLOGY
• We are using hydrogen technology to run
the vehicle.
• Hydrogen is separated by electrolysis
process.
• Electrolysis is a process in which a direct
current passing through two electrodes in
a water which results in the breaking of
hydrogen and oxygen.
• The process is controlled by pulse with
modulator.
13. Pulse with modulator
• One of the main component of HHO generator is PWM
• This electronic circuit board resides in the EC electronic
control box and monitors the electrical pulses flowing
throughout the HHO system and regulates the flow
• The purpose of a PWM controller is to limit/restrict the amps
flowing into the HHO generator.
14. Results and Discussions
• The use of HHO in gasoline engines enhances
combustion efficiencies, consequently reducing
the fuel consumption by 25%.
• Use of HHO in gasoline engines leads to reduction
in emission of harmful pollutants such as carbon
monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons. Use of
HHO in gasoline engine increases the power
output of the engine around 5.7%.
• The HHO gas kit can be easily constructed and
easily integrated with existing engines at low
cost. Thermal Efficiency increases around 5%.
17. Applications of hydrogen in industries
• Steel industry- Hydrogen can be used in the decarburization
process, which removes excess carbon from steel. This can
improve the quality of the steel and reduce emissions.
• Carbon dioxide emissions from the steel industry are
projected to jump to 837 million tons over the next three
decades from 242 million tons now as India’s demand for
steel more than quadruples to about 490 million tons.
• The Energy and Resources Institute said in a report. It will
also contribute more than a third of the nation’s total fossil
fuel combustion emissions from 12% currently.
18. Chemical industry
• The production of ammonia is one of the most significant
applications of hydrogen in the chemical industry.
• Ammonia is a crucial raw material for the production of
fertilizers, and hydrogen is used as a feedstock in the Haber-
Bosch process, which is used to produce ammonia.
19. Future scope
• The Hybrid Hydrogen Technology can be used as standard fitting in
the vehicle from the manufacturing plant as well as from the
government side & the HHO kit must be available economically so
that the basic cost of HHO can be less.
• In order to go from ‘proof-of-concept’ to ‘precommercialization’
stage, further development will be required in the following areas:
1. Improvement in engine power output and fuel economy
(efficiency)
2. Increase driving range through engine development and
utilization of ECD’s higher capacity alloys
3. Cost reduction of component technologies
4. Implementation of Safety Codes and Standards
20. Conclusion
• There is a lot of skepticism about HHO generators
for vehicles found online. Our final thesis gives
valid evidence that, in fact, they do work.
• It was determined that in order to supplement
fuel consumption with hydrogen gas completely,
many modifications need to be made to the fuel
system of the bike, that were out of our reach.
• Even if these were accomplished, the amount of
energy needed for the bike to run as well as to
power the generator is not enough without the
energy coming from the fuel.
