Along with the increasing number of vehicles, the consumption of fuel oil also increases. It can be seen from the data that the contribution of fuel oil in 2015 was quite high, that was about 42% of the amount of oil supplied, and the most fuel oil was used in the transportation sector. The efforts to energy conservation are needed to support the achievement of sustainable development in the energy field. One solution that can be used is adding H2 gas on four 120 cc stroke engines. It can be obtained from electrolysis process using Wet Cell HHO Generator Type. The Wet Cell HHO Generator Type is a device for decomposition of water (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) due to an electric current being passed through the water with electrodes immersed in an electrolyte liquid. Hydrogen gas can be added with gasoline fuel in combustion process on four 120 cc stroke engines. The size of HHO’s generator reservoir is 20 x 10 x 20 cm, using Ba(OH)2 catalyst in variation of concentration were 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 g/l and the throttle-opening are 1,2,3,4,5. The effects of adding hydrogen gas to know performance and exhaust gaseous emissions of four 120 cc stroke engines. The performance of four 120 cc stroke engines which is measured are torque, effective power, thermal efficiency, and specific fuel consumption. The content of exhaust gaseous which is measured are concentrations of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbons. The results of this research shows that the addition of Ba (OH)2 catalyst in HHO’s generator can improve the performance and reduce exhaust emissions on four 120 cc stroke engines.
