Abstract

The present invention is an apparatus and method for generating hydrogen and oxygen from water for use as a fuel additive to an internal combustion engine, such as a gasoline engine or a diesel engine. An electrolysis cell is used to generate the hydrogen and oxygen from a water source. A separate water reservoir permits efficient separation of the hydrogen and oxygen from water and direction into the internal combustion engine. A pump increases output efficiency of the electrolytic cell by preventing the buildup of gas bubbles on the electrodes.
