Reva is the largest selling electric car in the world. It seats two adults and two kids. It has been in production in India for several years and is also available in UK where it is known as the G-Wiz.

running my car of water need info please?
nocduk1
after browsing the net
i am thinking of running my car of a 4 way Hydrogen Generator {whats the best thing to use for the plates plz}
the Hydrogen Generator will pic up static power of the cam belt made from kids dynamos from push bikes hopefully holding 5 gallon of water
{how much hho will this give me},,in theory the faster the belt spins the more the Hydrogen Generate
..hopfeully taking less power out than they produce with some sort of presure cut of switch for safety so i only burn what i produce when running the engine i will have 2 main feeds 1 to the main fuel inlet and the other to the air intake for high revs both with non return valves
anyone got any idears on how to get this project perfect and the presure valve right so it doesent over produce
kind regards
Karl
ps if you have any info that is 100% please forward to me as i am no scientist lol

First up what is the main reason that you want to convert your car? Is it:
1) To reduce CO2 emissions
2)Save on fuel cost/ better economy or
3)You just want to toy around with your car?
If it is either of the first 2 I strongly, strongly suggest you reconsider this idea. I'm not familiar with the 4 way hydrogen generator system but I assume you are talking about generating your own hydrogen and burning it in a traditional internal combustion engine as a hybrid option along with normal petrol (gasoline), as opposed to fuel cells which are extremely costly.
To convert the water to hyrdogen while driving it is impossible to increase your efficiency if you run off your cam timing belt or any other belt/shaft connected to the engine as the energy required to split the water into Hydrogen and oxygen is greater than the energy obtained from burning it, i.e. you can not take out more than you put in. You could connect a generator to your wheel axle that is only engaged under braking (like current electric hybrid cars) as this energy is usually dissipated in the form of useless heat anyway. However this will be less effective than an electric motor anyway as your essentially adding an additional step with more inefficiencies.
If you mean you will generate your hyrdogen before traveling and store it in a 5 gallon tank then the hydrogen gas must be stored at extremely high pressures if you want enough to get you past the end of your block. Due to the volatility of hyrdogen there is also a high risk of explosion if you are in an accident.
Most of the info on converter packages online are just trying to sell a product and don't have much research backing them up. You probably won't see the return in fuel savings compared to the amount you pay for these packages.
