I was thinking about installing a more efficient alternator. I need to find someone to make custom brackets though. I saw a 200 amp alternator that I was thinking about trying out though.
It's not so much the number of plates, but the size of the plates. I have six cells, wired in series, and 1 cell has 10 2"x30" plates. Another has 10 4"x4" plates, eventually 30 plates, and the rest have 10 2"x6" plates, but soon to be 20. With all of this plate area, it's easy to get a high hho output. I plan on getting up to 8-10 LPM eventually.
Right now it's 2 LPM at 12 amps. 53 MPG with HHO hooked up. I have found 12 amps to be the most efficient based on watts/Liter of HHO. This will change once I start using deep cycle batteries. I plan on doing 20 amps with batteries that will last through ten hours of straight driving Possibly two batteries connected in series.
The amp draw is definitely a problem. I f i disconnect my HHO hose I only get 28 MPG which is a loss of 10 MPG. That's why I have become so interested in using deep cycles. I honestly believe that without and modifitications Deep Cycles could easily take me into the 60+ range on my car. Seventy if I add more plates, which 5 of my 6 cells still need more plates. I am building mine as I go. I hope to get it 30 plates per series cell. I am also making a sid cell too, just to experiment.
Brakets are easy, i could make up some if I was there in fron of the vehicle.

Yes that would help, but stay away from AL. You dont want to contaminate your cell. AL gets consumed in the reaction.

Those are some good results!

I was curious on installing a second alternator
and battery would this help with current draw?
Also does aluminum have bad reactions with
sodium hydroxide solution. For heat issues I want to install a small radiator like something
you would see for a tranny but they only seem to have aluminum radiators.

how many plates are you using thats alot of gas for 12 amps

How many LPM are you pumping in ya car?
