Modern alternators are only 50-60% efficient, so for a 100 A draw at 28VDC you'd need about 8 hp EXTRA to drive it at all times. That doesn't include the load to run all other systems or recharge the batteries.

With NO losses it is 1 hp is the equivalent to 746 watts. It takes 1 hp to drive an alternator making 26.5 A @ 28V NOT accounting for losses. The losses include but not limited to: losses associated with running the belt, the friction of the bearings, the air friction of turning the alternator...

:ditto: On a gasoline engine you CANNOT safely decrease the fuel flow for a given mass air flow beyond a certain point. Computer controled EFI systems already run about as lean as safely possible, some use fuel cooling enrichment for full throttle (especially forced induction) but fuel flow is...

Yeah, that worked out really well didn't it! We using that technology today are we? I know plenty of people are using his name to offer "free electricity" generators. Scamming people out of their hard earned money isn't new!!! I give up, go invest in this junk, I really don't care! It's...

If that 1993 had to have the level of EGR and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and other emissions equipment, it would be getting mileage in the 14's too. If you want to complain, just three letters: EPA . . . along with misguided presidents and members of congress (both parties, one is a but...

I was watching Dateline NBC's coverage on the subject over on YouTube . . . VERY funny! They actually got a bit more mileage when they turned it off. The guy behind this whole SCAM now has a Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter that will give you up to 5x your fuel economy! It just gets better...

Yes and no. To make enough electricity to provide any useable amount of gas, you'd need a HUGE expanse of solar panels. It takes a relatively enormous amount of power to crack water. Your batteries would be sucked flat VERY quickly. Solar has a VERY low power density and hydrogen doesn't...

Stampy, the difference is you have to MAKE the HHO in the truck. You don't have to MAKE the propane. If you could make the HHO with say, solar or wind, there MAY be a cost bennefit. For every watt you pull out of the alternator you have to burn MORE FUEL! You cannot get around this by...

Gassy, when you come out with your first peer reviewed article in a scientific journal I'll listen, otherwise your opinions are useless noise. Additionally that will not PROVE ANYTHING, it will just make your THEORY worth listening to. So many people of marginal schooling think they can bend...

Now THAT sounds like a worthwhile use for a water cracking apparatus I could appreciate and support, might give the Black Lab the fits though! :D

Don't worry Doggy, it seems there is a thunderstorm parked over his parade and I'm reasonably sure his mommy will call him in out of the weather soon :D

AND, if you look at "Zerogas's" 6 posts, 5 of them mention HHO? Methinks I know why he's here, pedaling this scam. I've actually done a bit of reading on this Ron, there is considerable risk of damage. Since it runs and actually is able to ignite such a lean mixture, and without significantly...

:ditto: If you ACTUALLY do the research, you'll find the big proponents of this FARCE are the people making money off it. It is just another version stealing money from the naive. No such thing as free energy or a free lunch, the price is ALWAYS paid by somebody! Zerogas doesn't know it but...
