wow i never realize this... thanks for the heads up i got tons of stuff in my trunk that move freely... i got to reconsider about the junks i put inside my car now

A roll of toilet paper in a 60 mph accident becomes the weight of a 20-50 lb dumbbell.. forgot the exact numbers but scary as ****.

Reaosn why I'm gutting my car. Puttign in cage. Only things I'll have in it will be a tool box which whne mkaing the cage I'll have a section for it to go...

Hi, I have a 2003 Honda Accord Coupe w/6cyl. I want to relocate the battery to the trunk because I am installing 2 hydrogen generator cells, a bubbler, a secondary bubbler, tubing, wiring, an amp meter, and a volo chip for the computer and there is not enough room under the hood for the cells and the bubblers so I need the battery space. I bought a Moroso Blue Battery vented box for $99.99 from American Muscle and am looking into cables with a battery plate to complete the job in the trunk. There are many. Some are 2gauge, some are zero gauge and one or two are 1 gauge wires. I am considering the Summit Racing cables because of cost is only $39.99 but it is 2 gauge I am looking for anyone who used these cables and want to know what their results were. Thanks, Neil.

Wow...thread from WAAAAY back.

Don't bother with the hydrogen generator. All you're doing is adding additional weight and diverting energy into a process that will recover less than 100% of the energy you put into it (thus you input more energy than you get out). The basics of the process is this. In order to split a water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen atoms, a certain amount of energy must be added to the molecules. The process of burning the hydrogen simply reunites the hydrogen with the oxygen. The energy released by this process is the same amount as needed to split the molecule. At best, this represents no net gain or loss, but no process, is 100% efficient. Even under strict lab conditions, 100% efficiency will not be achieved. Not to mention internal combustion motors are simply not ever going to be 100% efficient (The ideal engine, Carnot Cycle, doesn't even have a 100% efficiency rating). So the energy you diverted to produce hydrogen gets reduced by all the inefficiencies and ultimately, you use more energy to drive the car than you would have by leaving it all alone.

i put a honda civic battery in the car a wedged it in the oem location sideways.and clamped it

ok thats just s*** hahaha. Ill throw a roll at my brothers face at fullspeed. he'll just say ouch.

well a 20lbs battery would hurt, after you hit your brother with the tp roll let him smack you full force with a battery...

I dont warn about the obvious, but far too many people have no clue the fumes from a bath type(open) battery are very toxic. I hate optima batteries but use one cause I am relocated in cabin.
lol at hydrogen all hype and no hit from what I can tell.

Im not very knowledgable on batteries but why do we want optima batteries again. Whats the advantage?

EDIT: just read its leakproof on their website. Any other reasons?
