However, due to the very difficult storability (although production is easy), it must be used rapidly after production. In addition, besides dissapating after a while, it also degrades (reverts to hydrogen) very rapidly (ie after 1 to 2 hours)..<ref>Info obtained from Patrick J. Kelly)</ref> The latter reduces the energetic level by 400%.\n\n== Production ==\n\n{{Main|ICE fuel generator#Oxyhydrogen}}\n\nWith a Bob Boyce electrolyzer (see http://web.archive.org/web/20161007033935/http://pesn.com/2007/09/29/9500450_BobBoyce_Electrolizer_Plans/d9.pdf ), a gas output is produced which has a much higher energy output than the energy that was needed to split the water in the first place.\n\n== Uses ==\n\n[[Oxyhydrogen booster.JPG|thumb]]\n\n[[Oxyhydrogen booster]]s are popularly used in vehicles, mostly in combination with another fuel (ie gasoline) to decrease costs/km in terms of fuel expenses. These are however offcourse not full oxyhydrogen systems. Some full oxyhydrogen systems however have also been built into vehicles.\n\n== See also ==\n\n* [[Oxyhydrogen booster]]\n* [[Comparison of alternative ICE fuels]]\n* [[ICE fuel generator]]\n* [[ICE fuel conversion]]\n\n<references />\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| description = Discover the potential of oxyhydrogen as a fuel source, its production methods, and applications in vehicles for enhanced energy efficiency.\n}}\n\n[[Category:Fuels]]"}
