Use a 4 stroke model airplane engine as the test bed.
Similar to this:

Would 1 LPM be adequate for an under 1 cu in engine?

This could be a big idea, using a 4 stroke mini engine, and if we all decided on a certain one, and ran it to a certain load, we would then have a control. What would be changed is the true measure of the efficiency of our cells and if we all used the same type power supplies made from used computers that would leave only the current and heat as a factor, I think.
I believe right now were playing with oranges and apples and trying to get answers and wasting good time, money and brain power.
Of course this idea is only for the serious experimenter, not for the guy with the glass bottle and spoons

Actually Stu, for once I would say you have a great idea. Only problem might be the glo plug....
Before radio control back in the 50's and 60's there were spark ignition engines that ran on straight gas and they could be timed.
They may be available.
My point is with the smallest 4 stroke, the HHO output is not an excuse.

u guy should try the other side of rc's like the baja 23 cc 1/5 scale - the motors start at $250 cad
or goto a weedwacker u can pick them up for $100 or less.

I think I might still have an old .40cc in storage... may have to go digging.

Wonder, how much HHO it would take to run 23cc engine
