PENGGUNAAN ELEKTROLISER KAWAT TEMBAGA DAN VARIASI LARUTAN TERHADAP KONSUMSI BAHAN BAKAR PADA SEPEDA MOTOR YAMAHA MIO TAHUN 2010

Abstract

The aims of this research are: (1) To study about the using of copper wire electrolyzer effect to fuel consumption in Yamaha Mio 2010 Motorcycle, (2) examining the effect of solution variation to fuel consumption in Yamaha Mio 2010 Motorcycle

Research has done in automotive repair shop of mechanical engineering, teacher training and education faculty, Sebelas Maret University of Surakarta. The research uses Yamaha Mio 2010 motorcycle with engine serial number:  28D-2105099. Data analysis technique uses in this research is experiment method with descriptive data analysis. Data acquired by assessing fuel’s consumption level of motorcycle. From assessing results of fuel consumption level then presented in bar chart to analysis.

Research results showing that: (1) Fuel consumption level of premium in Yamaha Mio 2010 motorcycle doesn’t use electrolyzer as 12,93 ml/minutes, (2) Fuel consumption level of premium in Yamaha Mio 2010 motorcycle using electrolyzer with NaHCO₃ solution variation is 12,46 ml/minutes, there is a consumption level decreasing as 0,47 ml/minutes compared with premium fuel consumption level examining without electrolyzer, (3) Fuel consumption level of premium in Yamaha Mio 2010 motorcycle using electrolyzer with KOHsolution variation is 12,33 ml/minutes, there is a consumption level decreasing as 0,6 ml/minutes compared with premium fuel consumption level examining without electrolyzer, (4) Fuel consumption level of premium in Yamaha Mio 2010 motorcycle using electrolyzer with NaOHsolution variation is 11,66 ml/minutes, there is a consumption level decreasing as 1,27 ml/minutes compared with premium fuel consumption level examining without electrolyzer, (5) using of electrolyzer in motorcycle influencing the level of fuel consumption, in the other words, it occurring the process of fuel saving in motorcycle using electrolyzer.
