Essentially, every choice you make is going to be a compromise; the greater the C:B ratio the greater the power, but also the greater the noise + impracticality and you face the law of diminishing returns - you're probably going to want it between 1:1 and 2:1 obviously depending on pressure. Just do...

While the term 'HHO' is pretty dodgy (often associated with free energy etc.), this seems to me like a legitimate project employing the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen. While it is certainly not cost competitive with propane this may be made up for by the increased refuelling intervals (wa...
