Aww, now here is the key! 18,000volts at 1 amp? 18kW???
That is some whopping transformer(s) all right and some kind
of power source to.. not just an alternator. And also 6 feet of
thick aluminium wire (1.8mm dia) per minute? Talk about chemical
reactions... whow! Why not try amonium (NH3OH) which has
a whole lot more hydrogen to give up.. and nitrogen which makes
up 80% of our air? Hummm. Sounds a little bit too "drastic"
IMHO, How much aluminum would one need then for 1 hour of
travel to and from work? Gasoline maybe cheaper than aluminum
at least here Gas is $.75/gal. Lowest in some 10-15 years!
They even had gas wars about two weeks ago.. going for $.59/gal!
