An internal combustion engine system for automotive vehicle wherein liquid
water is produced by cooling a portion of exhaust gases at elevated
pressure to induce condensation. The use of elevated pressure allows
condensation to occur at a higher dew point which is easier to realize
with cooling by ambient air. Liquid water condensate is collected and
provided to an electrolytic cell for electrolysis into gaseous hydrogen
and oxygen. Hydrogen gas generated by the cell is used by the internal
combustion engine to reduce internal combustion engine wear and to reduce
exhaust pollutants especially during start-up. Alternate uses of the
liquid water include a replenishment of engine coolant and window washing
fluid.
