    Exclamation Why dont I hear of people using this?!

    I have thought of something that I am wondering why I have not heard of anyone using this?
    Why not use a sepperate battery to mount in your vehicle to power your hho cell? Then you would not be using your engine to power your hho cell and therefore you can use more hho without using more fuel to produce it. Then you just charge the battery up when you get home.

    This has already been done but I cannot remember the details. If the drain on the battery is not too much this maybe worth a try.

    You can get 100AH marine battery for like $100 or somewhere around that. That would run a 20A hho cell for 5 hours!

    That sounds good. Few questions here:
    -How much does such a battery weigh?
    -How long does it take to charge a fully depleted battery?

    I have researched this before...

    Here is a pretty darn good reference table:

    For 20A@12V => 5 hours you would need the GPL-30HT which weighs a whopping 96 lbs!

    If you don't mind recharging every night, a less expensive alternative could be the GP-24T
    http://www.lifelinebatteries.com/marineflyer.php?id=1

    Granted you are using your car only for traveling to work and back (where a round trip is 2 hrs max) and max draw is 20A X 12V = 240 W

    It would be smarter to go with ~15A max draw using a very efficient reactor.

    it will be better producing the gas in home. store the gas in tank, use it in car. Note : do not store HHO mixed gas, store hydrogen & oxygen separately
