Abstract

An electrolysis device (1) for generating hydrogen and oxygen for use in improving the combustion of hydrocarbon fuel comprises a housing (3) containing an electrolysis cell (5), and electronic control means (7) to provide an electric current to the cell (5). The device (1) further comprises sediment reduction means operative to reduce the sediment that accumulates in the cell (5) such that the device (1) can be used with tap or sea water without an electrolyte so as to generate hydrogen and oxygen gas from the tap or sea water. A hydrocarbon combustion unit comprising such a device is also provided.
