The topic had been very popular recently was absolutely about price fuel hiking in global market. Not only the country that didn‟t produced the oil facing this problem, but all around the world, including our country had to faced this problem. Furthermore, we always here the speculations about the decreasing stock of oil from day to day. As example, our country Malaysia, have been forecasted to have the oil under the sea till about 10-15 years more. So, it is be the responsibility to our new generation to find the way and solution to solve this two major crisis in our world now. Many researches have been done by geniuses to find the solution to this problem. Finally they have found new alternative to replace the fossil fuel that we use today. From 1000 thousand experiment that had been conducted, they can proof that Hydrogen can be ultimate substitute for ordinary fossil fuel. The present research shows how can hydrogen will be use to fire up an engine, but the expenses to make it happen is too expensive. This experiment is about mixing hydrogen with fuel to get better car performance, more clean emissions and at the same time will safe you hard earned cash. In this experiment, hydrogen will be produced from electrolysis of water to get the HHO gas and will be mixed with fuel inside the combustion chamber. After performing the test to injection engine, there is small amount of change in power output and torque can be seen. But, there is a lot of improvement to make if we want to use it on everyday life. About the emission, from the gas analyzer test, its shows really good improvement. The results that appear on gas analyzer is the proof that this gas can save the environment and safe to use for alternative fuel. This study also indicates some problem in getting incredible result because there are some limitations on HHO generator itself. However, it can be improve and to see the really good result, experiment should be continue with the recommendations that have been stated.
