    Separating hydrogen from effluent HHO by gravity.

    I'm would like to learn of the practicality of separating HHO gas released from a photovoltaic charged lead-acid battery bank for hydrogen storage, perhaps by exploiting the substantial difference in density of the two elemental gases. It occurred to me that were the gas emitted from batteries...
