I recently purchased a NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) which can drive about 55kmh max speed, and can drive apx 50km on a charge, which is perfect 90% of my needs. I could fix the 9% of the remaining 10% by allowing for an extra boost when needed and have been toying around with some ideas.
Anyway, I am thinking of buying a solar panel and mounting out in the yard with a fuel cell and maybe a small battery along with a compressor and Arduino controlled switch to compress the hydrogen into something like a CO2 or Propane canister (yes I know this can take weeks, but remember it's for emergencies). Then I'd like to mount a small generator inside the car (I do have room in the rear of the vehicle), and just start the engine and plug it into the vehicle when needed (even when driving).
Little info:
* Car can drive while plugged in
* Car takes regular outlet power
* I am currently unsure on the max amps the car takes (I will find out when I buy a kill-o-watt)
I see lots of documentation on how to create HHO, but very little on how to turn it back into useable electricity. I have seen a few people powering generators, but I am interested in which ones you guys would recommend and maybe a document on how to do it?
Last thought... I one of the heavy requirements for this project is to be able to compress HOO and use it at later times. Are there any problems with doing so, and what kind of potential energy (calories?) am I going to get per letter of HHO?
Thanks,
