That said, I still see 2 big issues with it:
The safety aspects of driving around with hydrogen and oxygen in perfect proportion just waiting for an excuse to ignite. (It may be small quantities, but I bet it would still pack a punch)
Destroying the system in sub-freezing temperatures. |
Compressed hydrogen is very dangerous and should not be used as it is basically a hydrogen bomb waiting to ignite. this system creates hydrogen as needed from water, water is about as safe as it gets for a fuel storage medium, I have my system tied into the switched leads with a breaker inbetween. When I turn off my key switch, the hho generator power is cut so as not to load up on hydrogen under the hood. Another note is hydrogen is extremely lighter than air and will dissapate very quickly and not accumulate like gasoline fumes which are for anyone who has used it to light a fire knows, very explosive.
as for sub freezing weather, I live at 8000 ft in colorado, winters here are only slightly interupted by spring and fall. Vinegar doesn't freeze at the same temp as pure water, but in case of severe cold below zero weather, a small amount of rubbing alcohol can be added to keep it from freezing. There is also an overflow system set up, so even if it does freeze, it has room for expansion. Any other ice is melted immediately when the unit has power applied.
