A couple things.

2: Hydrogen is produced by the flow of current (electrons) thru the solution. So production depends on amps, and it is not tied to volts, or watts, or energy. (someone tell me I'm wrong here if you think so)
|
Volts, amps, and watts are linked with
Ohms Law. V=IR (Volts=I[amps]*R[resistance]) and also Watts=Volts*Amps.
There is an optimum voltage for low heat electrolysis and I think it is like 1.2-2 volts per cell which is similar to lead acid batteries. This is difficult to do in one container. I am still trying to figure out a good compact design

It also depends on HOW STRONG the solutilon is
|
This is true and it is one way to control the amps needed by adding solution until desired amp draw is achieved.

Sound like a transformer to me.

You will have to modify your setup to use an AC alternator because transformers only work on AC not DC.

To add to what some have said, I have been guilty of mixing up "Browns Gas" generation with adding H2 from a tank. I guess I see them as interchangable (and maybe they are not!)
|
Do not store HHO in any kind of tank. That is a very bad idea. You would be storing everything necessary for an explosion minus ignition. All you would need is a backflash and it would be all over. Only store pure H2 as this will not explode because it has to mix with the outside air first.

If you're using table salt (sodium chloride, not "a salt," which is not the same thing) as an electrolyte,

Not a good idea to use salt because a byproduct is chlorine gas which is toxic. You want to use an electrolyte with no byproducts. KOH and NaOH. Potassium or Sodium Hydroxide. You could also use some acids like H2SO4 (Sulfuric acid) but I am not totally sure on the acids.
