I have been recently introduced to the world changing idea of hydrogen boosting vehicles for improved power and mileage. But within a couple hours I realized that you can't take water, convert it to hydrogen and oxygen, burn it, move the vehicle, and have enough power left over to generate more hydrogen.
I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to use a separate plug in battery bank to run a "Hydrogen Boost" system. I know this would not be as efficient as a plug in electric/hybrid, but it would be a low cost alternative.

What Are your thoughts?
