An in-vehicle hydrogen generation plant generates hydrogen and oxygen on demand for fuel for an internal combustion engine. The hydrogen generation plant includes an electrolysis unit, a water reservoir, a sound-wave generator, and a battery unit. The generation of hydrogen does not require an electrolyte to be added to the water. The battery applies a dc current to the water in the electrolysis unit, while the sound-wave generator applies a pulsed sound wave. The electrolysis and pulsed sound wave together result in rapid breakdown of the molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gases. A secondary power generator that generates electricity from a rotating component of the vehicle drive train may be installed in the motor vehicle, to provide the necessary electrical energy to power the electrolysis unit.
