Hydrogen generator Idea
So all the problems with energy storage after it is recovere by spinning the alternator got me thinking about producing hydrogen.
Istead of using H in a fuel cell I was thinking about introducing it to the fuel-airmixture by piping it to the intake manifold.
The alternator would spin when in regen brakeing mode and generate hydrogen. The selenoid operated valve would be shut to keep H out of the air manifold. When the light turns green open the valve and allow it to mix in with the fuel-air mixture for power.
All of this is done in low pressure enviroment so no danger of explosions.
I don't know how much energy would be recovered, but it would be relatively easy to set-up.
