In my previous YouTube video, I thought it was the pulsed current throwing my meters off and distorting the data. But Zero said “Well, I don’t know if it’s distorted or not. Think about it. Just because we’re hitting it with peak voltage that’s higher than the RMS value, the RMS value is still the same. Wattage calculations remain the same.”
OK, now I’m thinking — how can I get my car to act like the charger? After all the production was higher and the efficiency much better.
Hmmmm… I think on this, and talk to my friend Richard who knows about car electronics and he says, “Your car has an alternator with diodes, it also delivers a pulsed output”.
The alternator operates like the battery charger. The diodes send a pulsed current to the battery. The idea that I needed a laboratory power supply with perfectly filtered DC output was wrong. I’m believe a battery charger with a battery will simulate the power system of a car better than a steady lab quality power supply.

I think it would be simpler to use water injection. It was used during WW2 for aircraft engines to increase power and prevent knocking in supercharged engines. Subaru cars still use this system on turbocharged engines. Hydrogen does have a low partial pressure so petrol will vaporise much better but then why not just use LP gas(Propane).
Basically the …
Basically the meters are thrown off by the pulsed current. Toward the end of my experimentation I used only straight DC from a battery for my measurements. This was the only way to keep it pure, accurate and duplicatable.
I am very happy with that big 225A charger. I burned up two small ones before getting this one.
So if i got the …
So if i got the battery charger and battery. how many amp battery and how many amp charger would you think would work well.
Now i’m surprised …
Now i’m surprised all those who know a lot about hho have not tackled this question. this seems a to me to be a very good and important thing to study. Does this mean you will have problems installing the pwm in the car. will the reading be way off or will the two play nice together? does the power coming out of the alt work better than alt and battery. is this a way to control more gas and less gas. a lot of things to study here. thanks for the video.
I don’t have a …
I don’t have a scope and hoped someone would take a look at the output of a charger alone, a charger with a battery, and an alternator and battery. I also think you need a large charger. I don’t get good results when I use my 10-amp charger, but I get great results from my 225-amp charger.
I seem to remember …
I seem to remember battery chargers typically use a cheap half bridge rectifier which give 50% time slice DC, probably with spikes. The Route Mean Square meter will measure the “average” so is good for mmw calc but your right the pulse may well behave differently. Time to get a scope on it, to see what is happening?
