Cool. Regarding the alternator I've calculated I can use up to 40 amps for the HHO generator. My car has a 100A alternator with a 70% duty cycle (70A continuous).
With the car on.. the alternator pushes 20A, when I turn the lights on they become 35A.. so I can use the remaining 35-40 amps for the HHO gen. In my bench tests I produce 3LPM at 40A so I'm just reaching the threshold.
Yeah I know, 100A alternator sucks. I'll have to look for a bigger one. In the meanwhile I guess I would have to turn the HHO cell off whenever I need to use my A/C and lights at the same time. lol
There is a company that can High Amp just about any alternator. If you google Ohio Generator you will find their web site. Just a warning. It is not cheap. I got a great deal because I set up our company as a distributor of their products. They are taking my Alternator from 130 amps to 260 amps. 240 amps contineous draw hot. They also increase effeciency. Less HP per amp. I want to run 100 amps or so with my cell. Trying to get high 6's MMW. That should get me 9 to 10 lpm HHO.
you have to use a clamp meter that is rated for 50A+ DC
I got mine at Amazon (Mastech rated for 1000A DC). Not that much expensive.

Just have to measure the thick cable going out of your alternator and that's it
Call the local dealers parts department. They can tell you the amperage rating of your alternator. Just remember they will quote you peak amps. No Alternator especially OEM alternators will put out peak amps for long. They heat up and your alternator output will drop usually OEM alternators are of poor quality and drop 20% or so off peak amps when hot. You need to use max output hot to determine how many amps you can spare for your cell. For a small car like yours that is stock I would not exceed 15 amps to the cell. Small economy cars do not have the extra alternator capacity like trucks and SUV's that may br used for towing, etc.
