I was imagining using a secondary (deep cycle?) car battery for running an electrolysis unit.

That battery could be run off the alternator or charged seperately at home with a charger.

My Optima Yellow tops are marked as 55 AH. Pulling 20 amps for an hour would run it less than halfway down. Typically, the longest trip I take in my car is 35 minutes.

The electrolysis unit could be set up with a manual control on the dashboard, and have some sort of safety feature where it would automatically turn off if you forgot to do it, got in an accident, etc.

Has anyone any idea how much adding Hydrogen/Oxygen gas would add to fuel economy?

Doax - keep me updated on your project, I am very interested.
