One could feed the Hydrogen, store the Oxygen, and use it for a booster like NO2 ....or use it to rouse a sleepy driver.

Ideally, I would use an existing water-welder system (i.e. HHO, both H2 and O2) with as few modifications as possible except running it off a separate battery. I know there are ways of electrolytically obtaining pure H2, but those introduce unwanted complexity. My objective here is to make something 100% off-the-shelf and as cheap as possible.
Another fear with pure H2 separation is that, particularly in the mountainous regions that I frequent, the engine would be flooded with hydrogen and starved for oxygen. Not so when the car is making both on its own.
However, this being completely hypothetical at the moment, I'm open to any disagreements or alternative hydrogen-related ideas you can throw at me.
