In trying to ascertain my own sanity, if the engine combustion process
is normal and using the 4.8E8 joule 4 gallon gasoline equivalent
in a 2 hour (7200 second) "50 mph 100 mile trip" it begs the question
of how much free "auto-electrolysis" would be occurring in the
4 compartment-cell ~ 4000 square centimeter Joe Cell figuring
2.5 eV (4.0E-19 joule per H-OH generated and recombined in the engine
combustion process.
4.8E8/[7200*4.0E-19] = 1.66E23/6.25E18 = 26,666 ampere-seconds
26,666/4000 =6.66 amperes per square centimeter with
12 volts at 1.0 ampere Joe Cell "pilot current".
Not bad if the "auto-electrolysis" is occurring on the 316 stainless steel electrode
surfaces.
