Abstract

An electrolysis conversion system for converting water into hydrogen and oxygen, includes a housing (1) in which are housed electrodes (3, 6). The electrodes (3, 6) are immersed in an electrolyte (2) and are connected to a positive and negative sides of an energy source. The housing (1) is a non conductive material that has chambers to separate the hydrogen and the oxygen. The present invention further discloses a method of utilizing the electrolyzer in conjunction with the fuel system of an internal combustion engine to improve the efficiency of said internal combustion engines.
