Abstract

A system for generating ortho-Oxyhydrogen uses a number of electrolytic cells to convert water into gas via electrolysis, with the resulting oxygen and hydrogen gas mixture being input into a combustion engine through the air intake duct. The system results in increased engine efficiency. The electrolytic cells are split into a two by three grid, with two rows of anodes and two rows of cathodes. A primary anode and a primary cathode serve to split current from a power source in order to ensure current is evenly split between the rows. Water for the electrolysis is supplied from a fluid storage tank, from which it passes through a fluid leveling tank into the electrolytic cells via a fluid pan. The system is operated by a control module which manages several aspects such as temperature, system shutdown, and circuit protection.
