This system is based on the alcohol and distilled water mixture in a suitable rate for start the gas formation under vacuum, where the hydrogen gas is extracted from the water.

After pressurization, the air is conducted to water reservoirs in order to make the hydrogen/oxygen dissociation. The first operation data is important for builting the combustion procedure conditions, adjusting the molecular relation in view of a more efficient air pressurization, determining the specific combustion relation, since the atmospheric air is submitted to a pressurization step and after injected in a sealed reservoir for be expanded and finally providing the essential gases of the combustion operation based on the air pumping.

The invention system is to make improvement in the previous known technique, i.e, enhance the motor performance, particularly related to the motor combustion and any kind of motor fuel. When molecular concentration and also the polution free gas discharge in the motor are provided the catalyst effect of the water formation reduce the motor working temperature.

This system is to provide a good combustion mixture and avoid or ever reduce carbon monoxide gas polution.
