3. Mission statement:- • Now–a-days every country spends a lot of money on research and development on non-conventional energy resources. In world, the conventional energy sources are limited and their consumption is very high, so alternative sources of energy have tremendous potential in future. Nobody will think for a moment but it is reality that water can be used as electricity producing agent, and hence as an energy resources. It is good news for environmentalists. Hence, this new successful technology is may be called as Green technology.

4. NEED OF ALTERNATIVE IDEA TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY FROM WATER:- • The earth’s environment is experiencing tremendous problems at present, a few of them are given below:- • 1] Electricity is one of the important energy resources. It is available at very limited places and consumption is much more. This causes war for electricity which is not new for civilization. • 2] Limited availability and higher demand of electricity is increasing its price day-by-day. It also affects the world economy. • 3] Serious problems like, water level decreasing day-by-day, Global warming and Ozone hole are increasing.

5. POTENTIALITY OF WATER:- • To fulfill the need as mentioned above and also to resolve the problems as stated non-conventional energy system like, Solar battery, etc are developed. In water, two parts of Hydrogen are present. As Hydrogen is an excellent fuel, water molecule possesses tremendous amount of energy. Water can be dissociated into its elements by electrolysis by the following equation • 2H2O + ELECTROLYSIS = 2H2:O2 (Brown gas) • Hydrogen is an important fuel as it burns totally. This Hydrogen gas along with the Oxygen gas makes Brown gas, which is also a most power fuel which can produce electricity at HOME.

6. PREPARATION OF BROWN GAS:- • This is the most perfect fuel for running the entire Generator which produces electricity. It is made from water, depending upon the set-up; it burns into combustion engine and releases oxygen into atmosphere. This method increases the oxygen content in the atmosphere, which helps to solve environment degradation. As Brown gas is more efficient and can be solve the environmental problems. • In this generator, electrolysis is done in parallel plate electro lyzer. Electricity from battery is used to split water into its element of Hydrogen and Oxygen, mixture gas which is known as “Brown Gas”. It displaces more volume than normal diatomic constituents H2:O2. Temperature, pressure and process are controlled by control unit. Oxygen and hydrogen produced by electrolysis are mixed with water. A milky white solution comes out at the end of electrolysis as shown in figure. This solution goes into separator unit which separates Brown gas from water. Water from separator unit is recycled back to electrolysis device to reuse. Brown’s gas escaped from the separator enters into engine through intake manifold. • One liter of water = 1866.6 liters of Brown gas (2H2:O2) • One liter of water = 933.3 liters of H2:O2 gas • Brown gas is a simplest and highest atomic form and hence less energy is required to burn than H2:O2gas. Thus, Brown gas burns at low temperature. This increases the efficiency of the generator. Brown gas is common ducted oxy-hydrogen; it can be produced in a common ducted electrolyzer which is made by stainless steel; it avoid corrosion due to water. Hydrogen produced by using simple electrolysis process is not sufficient to run the engine. To resolve this problem a special electrolysis technique will be apply, which is shown in figure 1

10. OVERVIEW OF CALCULATION • If the set is required for 100% standby, then the entire connected load in W/VA should be added. After finding out the diversity factor, the correct capacity of a set can be found out. • Connected Load = 1000W • Diversity Factor = 0.54 • (Demand / connected load) • Max. Demand = 1000 x 0.54 = 540 W • % Loading = 70 • Set rating = 540/0.7 = 772 W • At 0.8 PF, rating = 928VA • VA Rating = VA / Load Factor • Where Load factor = Average VA / Maximum VA • The average speed of engine is 1500 rpm. • Fuel required per hour is 0.8 liter. For 0.8 liter of water it will produce 3.2-3.5kWh energy. Since water is recycled back so its efficiency will be maximum

11. HOST OF MERITS • 1] This technology save minimum 70-80% fuel cost and provides approximate double mileage to run the generator. • 2] It does not escape any harmful gases like CO, CO2 and SO2. • 3] It is immediate solution to produce electricity at home with less expense. • 4] Water used as fuel is no danger and difficult to storage. • 5] There is no requirement of power station and grids. • 6] Country can save money on producing electricity. • 7] It removes carbon deposits in generator engine and prevents future carbon built up. Hence, engine runs with smoother capacities and that too in noiseless condition. • 8] Generator parts, especially piston, valves, piston rings, liner rings, bearing get longer life

12. Overview of the marketing and sales: - • I will work on the basis of water availability. In current commercial applications, this generator is new for everyone so it takes few times to spread in the market but as time passes it will most likely by everyone. • At present I am considering only on the home purpose which faces crisis of petroleum and causes the environmental pollution. In future I want to use this generator in spacecraft for producing hydrogen to oxidize the propellant.

13. Competitive advantage: - • The product is different from existing solutions and factor which gives competitive advantage over the rest is as follow:- • a) It does not escape any harmful gas like CO, CO2 and SO2. • b) It is immediate solution on increase of Ozone holes, pollution, global warming and oil war. • c) There is no requirement of gas stations and petrol pumps. • d) Engine parts, especially piston valves, piston rings, liner ring, bearing get longer life and it runs with smoother capacity and that too in noiseless conditions. • e) Country can save money on fuel.

14. Financial projections and plans: - • I required approximately 5crores to establish the plant and 50-60 thousand for constructing Model. I am not able to invest that much amount, so initially I am looking for collaboration with generator manufacturing companies, after some profit we will establish a plant. • According to the recent market, growth rate will be increase abruptly due to crisis of petroleum oil. Once this generator will runs, all the arguments of its failing also fails and it becomes most favourable as its long term applications.

15. DEMERITS • MORE BULKIER THAN THE DIESEL ENGINE

16. CONCLUSION:- • Based on the discussion above, following inference can be drawn:- • 1] Water fuel is the immediate solution on world’s problem facing for Electricity. • 2] Water energy is efficient than Oil energy. • 3] As Brown gas is produced on demand, it is free from hazards. • 4] It saves money that can increase the National Economic Growth.
