I may do the gasifier. I've been intending to do that to make biochar anyway, for my raised beds.
The HHO has to be done right to do any real gas generation. Most people use plates and drive them with a DC signal, but the amount of brown gas generated is a direct function of surface area. I have some stainless steel scouring pads that I've already bought in that should give me 20 to 30 times the surface area of any plates I've seen this far. Then I intend to drive the electrodes that I've made with a high-frequency AC signal.
I will be able to vary the frequency and watch the generation of gas. When I get the critical frequency dialed in, the efficiency should be considerably higher. I'm expecting a gain of about 10 times based on some experimentation of done with electropolishing versus frequency. Monitoring the load current will allow me to find the best frequency easily.
Since an AC signal will generate both hydrogen and oxygen on each electrode, it will also mitigate the corrosion damage most HHO cells experience. I also intend to use exhaust heat to prepare the water. This will use free energy to make the water molecules separate with less input electrical energy, to raise the efficiency.
I also am experimenting with Magnetic gating like they're using on the internet for Lego perpetual motion machines, to generate power directly. The number of people are trying this oh, but they don't know how to do the control feedback. There've been some pretty spectacular explosions with it from centrifugal force. Got to love dangerous stuff, LOL!

It seemed like it took a long time using house current to get even a cubic inch of gas.

True, it has to be done carefully to get any significant HHO delivery. Most builders are neophytes, copying someone else's design.
I do consulting engineering work, so I get to rebuild complex industrual systems. I get to do R&D including upgrades on their equipment for faster processing.
All I needed to do is to do the same to the HHO cell. I also decided that I would only use OTS ( off the shelf ) parts, to keep the cost down to a sane level. I have reviewed designs in the $8000.00 range for a single HHO cell, and I can't see where that can be cost effective.
I also wanted to keep the size down to allow easier placement in the engine compartment.
The first cell will be run on my bench, venting the gas outside for safety. That will allow me to peak the drive level and frequency using my test equipment. Heat shouldn't change these operating points, but simply increase the efficiency.
Life is never boring, LOL!
