Time to fire up my old Hydrogen generators

Already made a couple of these, with zero results to an idling engine on my more inefficient (but far more gas output) design.

My first one is a 17 (or thereabouts) plate, single cell design, with the plates alternating positive to negative. Depending on electroyte concentration I can draw 70+ amps with this thing (I have no issues going higher but a: a single alternator would have issues with any higher AND running the car, and b: my wires melt above this level), and I can get a very small continous flame from it.

My second design is a six-cell design (I actually used an old car battery for the housing) with 9 plates in each cell, also alternating positive to negative. Full battery voltage is only fed to the cells on the end, so effectively I have 6 cells like my first design, in series. Putting a multimeter on the cells revealed ~2v each. This design draws far less current but also makes under half the gas. It's more efficient, but less effective.

So I guess now that we have a tuned up car that can't correct itself (an old carbied mazda B2000) I might have another shot at this thing.

I make zero claims to the effectiveness of my devices, this is about seeing if they work, not saying "Look at my ∞-billion mpg half water powered drag car".
