Solar panel instead of car batterie?

[boobou69]

Once again, still new to this....


could a solar panel be hooked up to hho generator instead of running off car batterie?

I saw a video clip online where someone does this. The solar panel and electrolyzer were not mounted on a vehicle. Also, with a full size solar panel he was getting only a little gas production.

Solar panels produce little voltage and even less amperage.

yes you would need a solar pannel the size of a semi-truck to power the generator to produce HHO

I have a friend who built an HHO generator and powered it just fine by a solar panel.

If you covered your entire roof of your car with a solar pannel you would be able to pull about 3-4 amps.

It is enough to make something happen. You will get HHO gas. but it will not produce enough to see a real increase in MPG.

I saw a self sufficiant house powered with solar panels that stored excess energy during the day in the form of hydrogen (not hho) and used it in a hydrogen cell at night to power the house. I can't remember for sure but I beleive he also heated house and water with it.

There are many alternatives to grid power and oil but the problem is the average person can't afford them.

The boobou69 has a pretty good idea.

BP makes a solar panel priced at $345.00 that produces 50 watts at 17.5 volts and 2.9 amps. This doesn't seem too bad.

They've got another one that produces 65 watts at 17.6 volts and 3.99 amps. It's priced at $418.30.

If you wanted to step it up a few notches, GE makes a kit for around $1050 that will produce 200 watts, 26.3 volts at 8.1 amps.

That seems just about enough to power an efficient HHO Generator.

If we could harness Solar energy to power our HHO generators, that would take the ammunition away from the skeptics who say we are pulling more power from our car's alternators than we are getting as a benefit from the addition of HHO to our engines. And it would add to our fuel efficiency as well.

Oh, I just remembered something EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

Toyota has just decided to started putting solar panels in the new Prius Hybrid. They will be used to power the Air Conditioner. If they are strong enough to power a car's air conditioner, then they must be strong enough to power an HHO Generator. Remember, Air conditioners on conventional cars reduce your fuel mileage by 10 or 12 percent when they are running so they must be sucking some pretty good energy.

wow....thats a lot of responses in a little time...lol.....

thanks guys

perhaps not so plausible right now due to the size of solar panels....only time will tell

Some company, I can't recall right now but I heard it on NPR radio yesterday was releasing information on new solar energy discoveries. They had created new solar panels that were smaller yet more powerful. I wish I had heard more...
