Abstract: Introducing Brown's Gas (HHO) to the automobile industries as a new source of energy is playing a very important rule. The main objectives of this research is designing and constructing a simple HHO generation system and testing it on a suitable IC engine by introducing it with the conventional fuel system. The influence of addition of hydroxyl gas (HHO) into gasoline fuel shall be evaluated on engine performance and the emissions. The HHO model should be designed, constructed and optimized for maximum productivity of the model in producing HHO gas per input power. Literature studies in this regard shows that the parameters on which the productivity of the cell model depends are the number of neutral plates, distance between the neutral plates and also the type and quantity of solutes that is Potassium Hydroxide (KOH). The results estimated shows a significant change in increment in power, reduction in fuel consumption, reduction in CO, reduction in HC and reduction in NOx. The inclusion of HHO gas into gasoline is a very effective way of improving the engine performance and maintaining the exhaust emissions to the environment friendly limit compared to neat gasoline operations.
