Description
Technical Field

[0002] Traditional cars mainly use non-renewable fossil energy such as gasoline, diesel or natural gas to generate heat energy and convert it into mechanical energy output, thereby providing driving force for the car to travel. Due to the incomplete combustion of fossil energy during the combustion process, it is very easy to produce a variety of harmful products that are not conducive to the environment, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and particulate emissions. Furthermore, during the starting process, traditional petrochemical-powered cars require sufficient power for the car to start, and the car has a large acceleration during the starting process. The fuel in the engine is usually discharged from the engine without being completely burned, which not only increases the pollution to the environment, but also wastes non-renewable resources. In early practice, it was found that the hydrogen produced by the existing water electrolysis device was insufficient and could not adapt to models with different power. Summary of the invention

[0069] The water in the third water guide groove then permeates through another electrolytic unit and enters the second water guide groove on the cathode plate; the excess water in the second water guide groove flows into the second return water groove through the fourth through hole, the fourth T-shaped groove, and the small hole, and then flows out of the device through the fourth hollow hole, the third T-shaped groove, and the air outlet.
[0070] The hydrogen generated by electrolysis on the cathode surface of the neutral plate enters the second hollow hole through the second water guide groove, then enters the fourth hollow hole of the cathode plate through the first hollow hole of the third insulating layer, and then enters the gas outlet discharge device through the third T-shaped groove.
[0071] The hydrogen generated by the cathode plate is connected to the gas outlet through the fifth through hole to be discharged from the device.
[0072] When in use, the water in the water tank enters the electrolysis device. Under the action of the current, the hydroxide ions move from the cathode plate to the anode plate, and the hydrogen ions move from the anode plate to the cathode plate. As a result, the hydroxide ions lose electrons on the anode plate and are oxidized to release oxygen, which is discharged from the drain port. The hydrogen ions gain electrons on the cathode plate and are reduced to release hydrogen, which is discharged from the exhaust hole on the cathode plate. The hydrogen and oxygen obtained by electrolysis then enter the cylinder of the engine to assist the combustion of gasoline fuel.

Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
