Re: Hydrogen Generator for my daily car
I can't remember off hand, but either the U.S. gov has a patent on it, or a rich oil owner in the middle east has a pattent on it.
I belive it's the U.S. gov, and it's the same set up they would use in space, or on the moon, to convert water into oxygen and hydrogen for fuel. Even heard of the US gov working on using this to convert sea water into useable oxygen for prolonged underwater stays. Only problem is, they didn't have a use, or way, to disguard the hydrogen.
Needless to say, the models used in space would be MUCH safer and more reliable then our do it yourself builds. One downfall, if the system shorts out, or a spark jumps and contacts the Hydrogen. Say goodbye to your engine, your car, and most of the time, your garage. If, and when it goes off you've got anywhere from 40-100 PSI of compresed Hydrogen and Oxygen waiting to go off.
