I totally made a fool of myself there.

I meant to say.

"I didn't think anyone was suggesting that oxygen in is most common form, O2, is a free radical - anyone with a basic knowledge of chemestry knows that it isn't a free radical."

I'm now really annoyed with myself for making such a simple mistake.

Default Alternate Power source

what if an alternate power source was available. Say 223 watt solar panel creating the browns gas?

Talking And then.

Put it in the space shuttle. Mmmmmm

It's possible.

That would work.
Also keeping the power usage down to 15amp without a solar panel on the car works too.
Keep in mined to fully bench test the cell. I have seen some designs that worked good for the first 1 hour, then as things start to deteriorate because of a bad design the amp's got to high from a bad connection. So know the limits of the things you make the cell out of and know the limits of the cell. You may want to service the cell(clean it out) about when its time for an oil change or once a week to keep the contamination in the cell down and the production of HHO up.

I have made a few cells and they are working in cars to this day, the one car is a v8 and only gets 12% increase in full economy. Then there are a few 4 bangers i have added cells to and they get about a 25% and up increase in full economy. Since I was turned onto using Lye in the cell it seems to work a lot better, but it is a very dangerous and corrosive alkaline. So when I install a cell I tend to add in about 1/2 cup of Lye to the bottom of the cell and tell the customer to keep it full of water.

Good Luck

why not just buy one of those compressed air cars and keep a panel or two on the roof ? drive to work and when you come out its charged and ready to go again !

well it would have to count towards the usual top up of compressed air but seriously it would give more power return than using the panel to make hydrogen and unlike the hydrogen that needs storing which you can't do you could store it as compressed air

No - not the compressed air, where are you going to get the sun from for the solar panels?
