Aplikasi dan Pengaruh “Otoinfus” terhadap Torsi dan Daya Motor Bensin

Abstract

Agricultural activity never separate from utilizing power source, such as gasoline engine. The use of fuel especially gasoline continuously will drain its availability and in the end it will run out. “Otoinfus” could become an alternative by increasing combustion process so the torque and power of the engine will increase as well. The objective of this research was to compare amount of torque and power of the engine before and after supplied by water through “otoinfus”. Measurement was done by using prony brake, which is a tool for measuring horsepower, that equipped to Honda GX-160 gasoline engine. The results of measurement showed that there were some effects of the engine performance which proofed by raising of engine torque and power. Maximum of torque excalation was 1.74 Nm at 2000 RPM, and power excalation was 0.38 kW at 2100 RPM. At average, the engine torque and power increase 23% compared to that before using “otoinfus”
