Hi, I installed a homemade HHO fuel cell in my car, and now the car sputters at 3000rpms. Help? 2004 Accord?

 

Cell was made from 12 stainless steel plates, baking soda was added to water. Disconnected rubber hose from intake manifold, drilled a hole in the intake manifold rubber hose(just after the airfilter), Put hydrogen hose into manifold. Hooked HHO wires up to car battery(just held them there, to test). 14guage, 20 amp wire, also a 40amp fuse was used on the hydrogen generator. After I hooked it up, it sounded fine. I didnt proceed to hook the generator up. I test drove the car without the HHO and immediately at 3000 rpms the car would sputter and wouldnt go over 3000rpms. I tried to reset the computer by unhooking the neg. battery terminal, I checked the O2 sensors, they looked fine. I dont think there is a leak in the vacuum but will be getting carb cleaner to check. Thanks for your help. -Jacqueline

Which new car energy technology would you bet your money on ?

 

Its a terribly exciting time for alternative car energy and many technologies are fighting it out for domination in the future. Some are very experimental while others are already available. The list is not small making the debate quite complicated. Which of the following would you bet your money on? And why? Or perhaps you have one not listed below:

Electric Hybrids & Car batteries
Plug-in Electric Hybrids
All Electric
Bio Fuels
Liquid Hydrogen
Hyrdogen Fuel Cells
Ultra-capacitors
Coal based synthetic or Coal-to-liquid

When will someone make a decent EV?

 

I drive only 5-20 miles a day, but part of that is on the highway at 70 mph. I need an electric car that can do decent speed, but I don't have 0,000 for a Tesla.
When are the major manufacturers going to sever this incestuous relationship they have with the oil companies and start selling what folks like me need?
I'll probably always have a fueled vehicle – nitrogen gas or hydrogen or fuel cell or biodiesel or even (gasp) gasoline – for long distance trips and hauling the family.
But for my daily drives to work and back, I don't need capacity, or even much range, just reliability and speed. And I don't seem to be alone – there are a lot of drivers on the road with me who are alone in their cars.
Does anyone have an idea when we might see a real "plug-in" car?

Does no one read the question? "Someday" is no answer, and neither is "no demand" and neither is "try a search." If anyone has an idea, please let me know, but if you haven't a clue, keep your comments, please.

When will hydrogen cars be available to the public? They are already being used as prototype vehicles. I was?

 

told by student that Hummer already has one, and that the military has been experimenting with them because of how quiet they are. I showed my class a "Cars of the Future" film about hydrogen powered vehicles. They seem to have endless possiblities, and they are safe. Solid hydrogen fuel in the form of metal alloy can be dispensed and stored. Iceland already has a Shell station that not only dispenses hydrogen fuel but makes it right on the site, so that no delivery trucks are used. The only emision from the engine is a few drops of water. The car that was featured had a chasis with the engine and fuel cells under the floorboard. All that was needed was a body to be lifted onto it.
