In fact the original policy was Friday discussions, though free-for-all's, still required the writer to relate the subject to Vanagons. Example would be, "My duck lays golden energy eggs which can provide free energy into perpetuity whenever it gets inside my Vanagon."

It draws something like 6 amps and produces something like 50ml of h2 per minute (I haven't done a flow test in 2 years). That's not exactly pure Hydrogen, but rather "HHO" Which is why they call these HHO generators. It's just not enough to run any engine larger than a weedwacker.
