<VV> Hydrogen (HHO) Generator - Absolutely No Corvair

[Roger Gault]

Nah, that's not the problem.  The issue is limited parking.  If you park in
full sun, the temperature in the greenhouse rises to the point that it kills
the beans.  We tested the system at an old airport, and we had a bad case of
runway greenhouse effect - even after we tinted the windows green.
Apparently, going green doesn't necessarily solve runway greenhouse effect.

Next, we'll try covering the floor, roof, and door panels with Peltier
coolers running off the battery when parked.  Since it is well known that it
doesn't take any power from the engine to recharge the batteries, this
should be very efficient.  Of course, we could power the coolers with a
radioisotope thermoelectric generator, but the petro-auto-gov alliance has
kept them off the market so we can't power cars with them.

If that doesn't pan out, we're going to try to evaporative cool the system
using a special low VOC ethanol (refined from surplus Jim Bean barrels).

Working to make the world safe from science,

Man, the topic police are going to get me yet.
