Inductive Clamp use?

[Bob]

A Mechanical realy would burn up under those conditions Randy, and after about 500RPM the relay would just stay on constantly.....You'ed have to go with a heavy duity switching transistor in order to handle the amps... but yah that idea...  .

my mind was wondering on this idea all day. and i came up with this idea, to possibly use a variable voltage sliding switch that would posibly have a range of 2v-13v, on or under the gas pedal of the vehicle, with something like that you may be able to saturate your water/electrolyte solution, so that at idle you would only be giving the cell 2v and probably 8-10A.....full throttle would be 13v and probably 30+Amps.

for the life of me i cant think of the name of this switch.......kinda like the sensor/switch that indicates your fuel level.

I played around with a bank of switches throttle operated that controlled some ceramic resistors, but since introducing the gas before the carb I haven't needed it, I also tried a rheostat, smoked it in less then a week. hahahaha

Ever see how a wah-wah pedal for a guitar works? And actually I think it would be better to somehow throttle the amps and not the volts. But this is still debatable...

Well the Old Pros doing this wound up making high amprage PWM and controling the reostat with the throttle mechnisum under the hood....
seams like a very senseable approach for handleing hydroxy output with engine demands
but its not easy or cheap to buy a 1000watt PMW !
... Randys idea of switching in and out verious stages of cell banks is another way to go...
have a rotory switch on the throttle, say 8 positions for 8 relays to control 16 cells( 2 each)
as the throttle is depressed more cells are turned on...
this idea anyway ... it would take some tinkering to get right but I think it could be done
.... maybe have 6 cells running full time and kick in more as needed for a total of 12 cells or something....
I dunno  ...something like that should work and be fairly stright foward to hookup... the idea is simple anyway...
