Looking at the quick depleting conventional fuel like gasoline, it becomes prime importance to conserve the same by reducing its consumption against day by day increase in number of two wheeler on road and hence emission and green house effect to be reduced.In present experimental work the electrolytic cell was developed to produce the 600 ml/hr hydroxygen flow rate and tested successfully for improved performance and emission in laboratory by utilizing the power available from alternator through the battery for electrolysis purpose. Same electrolytic cell was fitted to 100 cc 4S Bajaj bike and electric supply was arranged from inbuilt battery without any modification of existing engine. The produced hydroxygen gas was introduced in intake manifold after the carburetor.The performance was measured on road with 400 ml of gasoline on same route and same persons on bike and driver to maintain the driving style on road with and without hydroxygen as an additive. There were two persons on bike having total weight of 146.8 kg.The mileage went up to 29.54% on relative basis with hydroxygen addition from the electrolytic cell.Before and after test the battery condition was checked and found alright in case of hydroxygen as an additive mode.

Same electrolytic cell was fitted to 100 cc 4S Bajaj bike and electric supply was arranged from inbuilt battery without any modification of existing engine. The produced hydroxygen gas was introduced in intake manifold after the carburetor.The performance was measured on road with 400 ml of gasoline on same route and same persons on bike and driver to maintain the driving style on road with and without hydroxygen as an additive. There were two persons on bike having total weight of 146.8 kg.The mileage went up to 29.54% on relative basis with hydroxygen addition from the electrolytic cell.Before and after test the battery condition was checked and found alright in case of hydroxygen as an additive mode.
