    uses 32-38 amperes of current from the alternator.
    Where's all that electricity goin' ? It can't require that much to separate a gallon of water a week .
    I won't question your Creator's wisdom , but you are responsible for your own actions .

    Please tell him to keep his money in his pocket. Either it's a scam or the vendor doesn't know what he's talking about. If anything, this system is less efficient than just running the diesel engine alone!

    Yep, that's why everyone has gotta watch out for those experimenters....... Actually Paul and I both worked on generators and year before last when Brad and I drove my Trooper to Dayton we ran a generator to perform a bit of an effects experiment.

    The Navy uses electrolysis to make O2 on subs. It takes 1050A @ 50V to make 150 scfh (standard cubic feet/hour) at 3000 psi using pure DI water in a 30% solution of potassium hydroxide. That means you get 300 scfh of hydrogen, but it take LOTS of juice to do it. In my mind, pure hydrogen around a hot engine would be pretty stupid.

    His 30 or so amps won't do squat but relieve his wallet. Have your friend google "6L16 oxygen generator".
