Abstract

Although electric vehicles are becoming more widespread today, the electric batteries used as power sources still have many issues. The main problems include short driving range, long charging times, safety and security concerns, the lack of environmentally friendly electricity production, recycling challenges, high costs, and sustainability issues. In particular, lithium-based electric vehicle batteries are gradually being replaced by alternative battery technologies due to their high cost and limited availability. In this study, we introduce a novel hydrogen production method that can serve as both a fuel for internal combustion engines and an energy source through fuel cells for electric cars. Unlike conventional approaches, this method enables the on-demand production of hydrogen fuel without requiring a hydrogen storage tank, allowing direct use in engines. This study not only eliminates hydrogen storage issues but also presents a new alternative power source to lithium-ion, lithium-air, lithium polymer, magnesium-based and sodium-based electric batteries. As a result, the study describes an environmentally friendly alternative energy source for the automotive industry, a sustainable hydrogen production system, and a solution that enhances safety and security while reducing associated risks.

Abstract

Optimizing combustion parameters by incorporating alternative fuels and modifying the engine's mechanical properties is essential to improving the thermal efficiency and performance of modern internal combustion engines. This study examines the impact of HHO gas utilization, variations in compression ratios, various types of spark plugs, and ethanol gasoline blends on the torque and other characteristics of a 4-stroke fuel-injected single cylinder engine. Hydrogen is generated via electrolysis and used as a supplementary fuel. The Taguchi method was employed to create tests involving four variables: HHO percentage, compression ratio, spark plug type, and ethanol mixture. Testing occurred at 5000 RPM under a load of 1800 Watts. The findings indicated that the combination of 20% HHO, a compression ratio of 16.9:1, platinum spark plugs, and E-80 ethanol yielded optimal engine performance, with thermal efficiency reaching 60% at 7500 rpm. Moreover, the results of deposit content analysis after 50 hours of operation indicated that the ideal design produced fewer deposits than RON 92 gasoline.
