Hi Gary,
Thanks for the contact info, i appreciate the kindness you have offered me.
yes, that is the PWM schematic I was referring to, and by the way, I don't blame you one bit for not disclosing it if some idiot is going to rip it off of you and then sell it on ebay. People will do ANYTHING to exploite another person. I happen to have a very strong moral compass on the other hand, and would never do such a thing to someone else.
Interstingly enough, what I do with most of my time is silversmithing, and sterling silver (and gold filled) wire wrap jewellery design.
I find the left and right sides of my brain are constantly fighting for the rights of my body usage...lol. One side being artistic as you know, and the other being scientific. I struggle often with my urges to be pulled in the direction of one or the other.
I actually HAD thought of producing hydrogen gas for the purpose of feeding it into my oxy-mapp and oxy-propane torches, just to see if it burned cleaner, and increased the temperature.
When I melt down my gold and silver scraps into small ingots which I later pound out and then cut up to make into pendants and other jewellery, I have to use 2 mapp gas torches, one pointed at the bottom of the stainless steel container holding the scraps, the other blasting the scrap metal from above, together, it makes a kind of "mini-furnace", and "barely" does the job. I suspect adding hydrogen to the mix might increase the temperature significantly.
I wonder if the 2 15 watt solar panels (which would fit nicely on the roof of my minivan, barely) would generate enough battery power to be of any "real" use to produce the hydrogen though, maybe between the alternator and the solar panels it might generate enough to make a notiable difference?
Tell me this Gary, in your opinion, WILL it actually take MORE gas to run the alternator, with the MORE you draw on it to power the booster cells, or even charging a 2nd battery?
I hear conflicting opinions about this, and wonder if it's true or not. Some say you would not notice ANY gas difference, and some say that the amount of extra gas burned to create the electricity to make the hydrogen uses up ANY savings you might have had by adding it in the first place.
This is why I wanted to ask about the EFIE, and if it TRULY would eat more gas if I didn't use one, because betwen that EFIE issue, and the alternator issue I just described, I'm trying to wrap my brain around where the "savings" actually occur!
Thanks!
Chris
