Currently, in order to stop the progress of global warming, it is necessary to significantly reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions including carbon dioxide (CO2).

In addition, exhaust gas is a particular problem because fossil fuel is often used as the fuel for automobile internal combustion engines, which is an important means of transportation that supports daily life. Therefore, a device for suppressing various exhaust gases in an internal heat engine related to automobiles has been proposed.

A mixed gas in which hydrogen (H 2) and oxygen (O 2) are mixed at a mixing ratio of 2: 1 is called oxyhydrogen gas (also known as brown gas), and is attracting attention as a mixed fuel for an internal combustion engine. As an apparatus for generating oxyhydrogen gas, an oxyhydrogen gas generator using electrolysis of water is generally known.

So far, an internal heat device and a combustion auxiliary device using oxyhydrogen gas have been proposed, but with respect to the reduction rate of CO2, the effect has not been obtained so much (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3). reference).

Further, in the conventional oxyhydrogen gas generator, more electric power is required to increase the amount of oxyhydrogen gas generated. For this reason, the electric capacity of the battery voltage (12V) of a normal passenger car or the battery voltage (24V) of a large automobile may cause power shortage during normal driving.

A member of the present inventor, for the purpose of downsizing the oxyhydrogen gas generator and reducing power consumption during oxyhydrogen gas generation for many years We have been researching internal combustion engine combustion auxiliary devices that can generate a large amount of oxyhydrogen gas with low electric power by supplying a small amount of electricity.

In order to improve energy conversion efficiency, a substrate having titanium (Ti) as an electrode and a catalyst layer having iridium (Ir) on the surface of the substrate are formed, and a graphite layer is formed on the catalyst layer. The proposed electrode and electrolysis tank have been proposed to be divided into a plurality of electrolysis chambers by a non-conductive partition wall member, but this method is insufficient in improving the energy conversion efficiency. There was a problem that the heat generation of water was not solved. (See Patent Document 4).
