what really gets my goat is that the people supporting this HHO crap can't explain things in mathematical terms, only fancy buzzword and acronyms like "HHO." the people that say it won't work have the law of physics on their side; the people that say it will work have the word of an internet scam artist and so far no mathematical evidence to explain to me what car company manufactures an alternator that can compensate for such an incredibly inefficient process.
Yes it might take more energy but, the point is which process is cheaper? Internet scam artist? Instead of your half *** atempt to debunk this "theory" why not try it yourself? I built 1 my self without buying anything from anyone online and it worked just fine on the spare car in my backyard.

Re: Hooking up HHO again.

It doesnt work. If you can prove otherwise I will eat those words. I have found NO evidence of a true working system out there that does what the system claims it can do. All you are doing is putting hundreds of dollars of worthless mods into your car when that same amount could just go towards the gas you are trying to save on. If anything you are hurting the engine with this THEORY that has no FACTS backing it up. While I admire those that try and invent systems that will better efficency, this is not one of them.

Funny thing is that it's not a theory, because scientific law says that it can't do what proponents claim that it does. At best it's a hypothesis and a bad one at that.

Re: Hooking up HHO again.

it may work but not with an engine thats setup to run off gas. you need a whole different system. cleft already built the thing and saved us the trouble by showing it doesnt do anything.
