Great information. Thanks.

The power it takes to charge the water would come from the battery in the truck. The alternator would keep that charged as it is driven. With Diesel there is no MAP sensor so the hydrogen could be plumed right into the intake. I am thinking about a new piece that would fit between the intake from the filter and the air inlet on the intake, where the connection is being made now, from the factory. Simply remove the air intake tube put this new piece in the middle and put the tube onto the new piece. There would be no additional energy needed to create the hydrogen. It would however be a supplement to the diesel fuel being burnt. Right???? ...???

I am thinking of using pure baking soda instead of salt. For that very reason. I am also thinking of using stainless steel wire instead of plates so the hydrogen bubbles could be released easier. Stainless steel wire is easy to get at most any hardware store around here.

I have a few problems that I do not like about this.
ONE:
It would be a pain to have to always check the water level under the hood. Yes I know it would be easy when you check the oil but you and I both know most people do not do that as often as they should.

TWO:
The water will freeze in the winter. I think if I could come up with a way to hook up the windshield washer fluid reservoir to the container, that would solve this issue. Then that does not put the baking soda in the water. I have tested (not under a microscope) putting baking soda in with some windshield washer solvent and see no adverse effects. It wouldn't freeze and it would not need to be constantly filled up. It is not abrasive so it would not scratch the windshield.

It would mean the windshield washer fluid would need filled up more often. But not as often as the small water tank.

It would (or could) also mean a new product on the shelves. One that was suitable for both cases.

With a newer car that does have a MAP sensor it would need a different devise to alter the flow. I haven't thought about that much as I am working on one for the diesel first.
