I bought a lot of these:

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4727

I got 125 boxes in total for about US $33 including shipping. The only
downside is that these aren't anti-static.

Those are *tiny*: less than 1x1 inch inside. OK for smd stuff (if you don't
mind the non-ESD issue) but what else can you put in there? Too small for
leaded parts.

Cars don't become sluggish as the battery dies. They start to stumble
and misfire and die over quite a short period of time after the
battery drops below about 10V.

If you add salt to water, the electrolysis releases chlorine gas.
This isn't such a great idea. It is a poison and rots lots of
plastics. Adding NaOH is a better idea. You will get way more gas
out for less power in. The gas production and then burning the gas
will then only lose about 50% of the energy in a well tuned engine.

Feeding a mixture of H2 O2 and water vapor into a badly inefficient
engine, can gain you enough of an efficiency improvement to make it
pay off. The reasons have to do with the chemistry of the
combustion. You won't gain anything like what you could gain by
improving the engine, however.

Some people might said "oh it is a lot cheaper to produce hydrogen from

but than you if you do that you still depend on fossil fuel to power you
vehicle!
My point is: stop using fossil fuel to power our vehicle.
If the hydrogen produced by electrolysis process is very expensive, we can
find ways to reduce the cost.

If the electrolysis process I mention in my earlier posting is no good.
If there are other negative effect from this electrolysis process
we can find a better way to electrolysis the water and find ways to improve
it efficiency and find a better ways to do electrolysis so that it will not
produce negative effect ,

example this website talk about adding a small amount of said sulfuric to
the water to increase the efficiency
http://miniscience.com/projects/WaterElectrolise.htm

That is why the scientist needs to do research and development.

conversion losses kill your idea.you lose a lot in the electrolysis,and
even more in the compression of H2.

and wind power runs irregularly,not dependable.

You have jumped over a bunch of logic that says "It may be a very bad
idea to use hydrogen in an engine". If you have a nearly free source
of hydrogen perhaps but if not, a fuel cell may be a much better way
to use hydrogen.

The problem is that when you burn hydrogen you get water. If you cool
that back down to the starting temperature, it is smaller than the H2
and O2 you started with. This costs you in engine efficiency.

The question is where to you get hydrogen gas?

There is a limit on the amount of improvement you can get. The
breaking apart of the water takes a certain amount of energy. Getting
the energy to that point int eh process can be improved. Once you get
down to the water, the energy needed is an unchangeable number.

example this website talk about adding a small amout of asid sulfuric to the
water to increase the efficiencyhttp://miniscience.com/projects/WaterElectrolise.htm

That makes it easier to get the energy to the water. Even once you
have done that, the efficiency still will be well under 100%.

That must be your specialized Fucking American cars, I see the same problem on Japanese cars, and on German cars, they slow down, sluggish then they quit and stop in the middle of the road.

Listen Moossy, if you really have experience with Electronic and Car's ignition system you wouldn't be saying that non-sense, your car's Spark plugs , ignition system needs "a good CURRENT to burn fuel"  Low battery will stop your car when one or more piston are not firing.

You are insulting and ignorant. If you wanted to have a discussion,

That's because it costs more to use a larger resistor than is necessary.

Let's say that you can get 1/2 watt resistors for a penny in quantities

If the 1/2 watters will do the job like they're supposed to and you buy
