DO The MATH!

I looked into Hydrogen from water for cars a couple of months ago.

I did the math. And here's what I came up with. A naturally aspired MkI Mr2 cruising near 70 MPH @ 3500 RPM. On each revolution two cylinders are firing. So divide the RPM by 2 and you get 1750 compression/firing strokes per minute TIMES .8 liter (@.4 liter per cylinder). Now multiply the 1750 times the volume of two cylinders (.8 liter)and you get 1400 liters of air being pumped into the motor each minute.

Now take the 5 liters of Hydrogen the originator of this thread produces with his device. 5 Liters is only 1/3 of 1% of the total air inhaled by the small motored car posulated at the begginning of this post. I don't know the exact level of saturation of Hydrogen where it can combust in normal air. But, if my house's interior was completely saturated at 0.35% of hydrogen by volume. I'd light up a cigar inside without any hesitation.

I am prepared to be engulfed in FLAMES by posters passionate about this idea.

I would ask that my math be critiqued, and CORRECTED. The math I did is simply my math. But show me where I am wrong, if I am wrong.
