I'm interested in the plans, if I can bump my car from 13-14 mpg up to 25mpg it's totally worth having to take the stuff off every two years to pass smog.

I'd be really interested in seeing what it does to the big engines putting out more horsepower, as far as increasing mileage without hurting horsepower or damaging the engine. I don't suppose anybody with a dyno could give this setup a test for us? maybe write in to powerblock's horsepower show?

Thanks for researching it.

Fractioning water using electrolyses is neither breaking the law nor is it patentable anymore. Until congress passes a law outlawing water in any case. I would like to make a couple points about all this;

1) Very little if any of this stuff is patentable thanks in no small part to a fellow named Bob Boyce. What may be patentable are oscillators and eltronics needed to optimize performance of cells and ECU's in modern cars.
2) If you try to just puff HHO down a newer car with an ECU and SFI it is likely to burn more fuel. You must retune the ECU especially in the areas of the oxygen sensor for this to work right. Meanwhile carbed cars should see immediate results.
3) What HHO really does as an additive is improve combustion efficiency. The argument that that it 'uses more energy than it creates' is true only for the fractioning process itself. One needs to carry the physics process through all the way to see benefits. I believe it can work and save you money.
4) The better HHO systems seem to use as many as 6-7 cells in series to maximize operating efficiency
5) It takes 6-7 large cells or a single good sized high voltage cell to operate a V8 entirely on HHO. But now the timing must be severely retarded (say from 8-10 BTDC to 8-10 ATDC) for it to work so earlier V8's with carbs and older adjustable ignitions are better here.
6) Running just HHO will lead to rusted steel components throughout and very likely burned valves as fuel is normally used to manage those temps
7) HHO is extremely dangerous stuff. Unlike gasoline it will not burn, it explodes as hydrogen is allready completely broken down. I think many people will be hurt with many occurences of hearing damage due to the explosions it can create personally.

Well, there you go, some food for thought.
