Now this sounds interesting, like the propane used on diesels. What
about the storage of the 2H2O2 gas ? Is it in a high pressure tank ?
Sounds a bit like a bomb without the detonator. What does it take to
detonate such a device ? If the gas flow is on (thinking like a scuba
diver here - never holding your breath your lung pressure is always
equal to that before your face) wouldn't an ignition of this gas line no
matter how far from the pressure tank be the same as lighting a fuse on
an old iron civil war bomb ?

The way these things are used in auto engines, is that the water is
hydrolyzed, and fed into the intake.  There is very little hydrogen gas
at any one time.  It's used as it's converted.  There is enough to
possibly blow up the container, and you could put your eye out with
flying shrapnel.

So, you carry water, electrolyze it with current from the engine's
alternator and burn it as you go ? Seems like you'd need a larger
alternator just for this process.

And more HP is consumed by the larger alternator. One HP for each 600 watts
assuming the alt. eff. is 80%. At 12 volts 600 watts is 50 amps.

So how many volts and how many amps are required to make x amount of hydrogen?
