Here are some ideas to improve oxyhydrogen devices:
1. Graphite is electrically conductive and inert. Coat your electrodes with graphite paint. You can make a cell using PVC pipes, fittings, caps and reducers. Put a smaller pipe into a larger pipe. The pipes must not electrically short each other but they should be as close together as possible. Coat the pipes with graphite paint. The pipes can be dipped into the paint or the larger pipe can be capped first and then filled with paint, like a cup, then pour the paint out. The larger pipe is the container for the electrolyte and also one of the electrodes. The smaller pipe is the other electrode and also channels the gas out of the cell by drilling holes in the pipe at the top of the cell. It also permits adding water to the cell. Using a 1 inch pipe for the container, 4 cells would use less than 5 square inches of space. Electrical connections can be made with graphite glue: http://www.wireglue.us
2. Try a sulfuric acid electrolyte. Sulfuric acid is sold as a drain cleaner at hardware stores. Add the acid to the water. Do not add the water to the acid.
3. Engines get hot! Waste heat can be converted to electricity using thermoelectric modules. These can assist the alternator. Enough of them could possibly replace the need for an alternator which would amount to great savings! This counters the objections of alternator fuel consumption arguments.

4. Solar cells can also be used.
5. Experiment!
