Now that I have your attention. :wink:
I have been experimenting with a home made hydrogen system (electric + water= hydrogen, oxygen) on an 83 Mercedes, but it didn’t do a whole lot seeing as the car had no computers to speak of in it, and therefore could not compensate for the extra BTUs being dumped into the engine. I am the proud owner of a 2005 #4 seaside pearl Prius, and I would love to test the system on the Prius, but I figured I would check and see if any of you had any advice first. A few design problems to look at with the system, the first and foremost is the problem of a pocket of hydrogen building up in the ICE intake when it is inactive, and then being sucked into the engine when it reactivates, and BOOM, that would not make me a happy camper. I’m no chemist, so I’m not sure on the BTU yield of my system. Another interesting idea is to tap into the 500v electric system instead of the 12v to power the hydrogen generator, and possibly get more out of it.
Lemme know what you guys think, ill be happy to answer any questions you guys have about my little contraption.
... and YES I know this will void my warranty
