This thread is complementary to my build thread. I don't want to gum up work with talk of work.
The benefits of using hydrogen as a fuel source are very real. It combusts @ 9 times the rate of gasoline, and can be generated by electrolysis of water. Most HHO generators are used for fuel economy. They vary in sized, but generally they're about the size of a football, and give an estimated 15% increase in MPG.
When I asked why this kind of technology hasn't been used in vehicles, all of them, collectively, state that a HHO vehicle would be too light to survive on the road. The reduced weight needed to take advantage of hydrogen as a fuel source would leave people too vulnerable. Safety seemed to be the only thing preventing them from mass producing an automobile.
HHO generators sold on the market today are simple to install. (12V) energy from an electrical source (alternator/ battery) is drawn into flat, repeating POS/NEG electrode stack of stainless steel plates immersed in a solution of electrolyte enhanced (salt) water. This current causes the hydrogen molecules to separate from the water in a form of gas (bubbles). This gas collects and is rerouted to the air intake on vehicles, right after the sensors, in order to avoid a fucking temper tantrum being thrown by the CPU.
A blow through turbo will essentially eliminate my need to redirect and regulate the hydrogen gas to four individual carbs. The added HP of the turbo is just an added benefit. The Hydrogen introduced before the plenum would solve the air to gas mixture. Hydrogen is lighter than air, but I'm assuming that the movement of air will take care of that issue.
You could also further regulate a sustainable source of hydrogen from a pressurized canister of hydrogen gas.
This could evolve into bypassing the need for gas entirely if pressurized gas is used... Only issued is your riding on something that could make a really big boom if ruptured.
There are so many ways to go abouts this... Pros.... Cons...
let me hear it from you guys...
