Abstract
Internal combustion engines are thermal machines that convert thermal energy into mechanical and are the most used by the population. However, with the continuous increase in prices and a possible future shortage, which are very relevant factors, there is a need for studies on new technologies to suppress such problems through alternative fuel. Thus, it was studied how H2 + O2 could be applied to the air-fuel ratio, taking into account all beneficial aspects or any kind of adversity. After the studies, a comparison is made of the fuel efficiency before and after the addition of the gases in the cylinder.
