The other side of that coin, while mostly true, is that there are staggering amounts of efficiency losses that can be reduced or eliminated.

      One my friend was working on engines' test benches, they mostly worked on a variable compression ratio engine prototype but they also accepted side projects.
      One of these clients was the "inventor" of one of those generator, looking for a demonstration that his system worked (props to him for trying, most of those don't want to involve real science). They tried, with unbelievably favorable conditions, they never could detect the slightest efficiency increase, even trying on a very small monocylinder engine the system couldn't deliver enough hydrogen so it would have never worked on the bigger engines we have in our cars, and it might even have been with an external power supply instead of taking power from the crankshaft.
      I think it was more than 10 years now. The inventor left really disappointed, I don't know if he kept selling these generators though.

With these improvements and say a second battery & larger alternator would totally transform your findings!

Hydrogen burns much faster than gasoline and by adding small amount of hydrogen to the mix you speed up the burn of the fuel. That means you can retard the ignition timing of the engine closer to TDC and increase the efficiency of engine. If you get net zero gain with the same timing you should get benefit with optimal timing for the added HHO gas.

    I have to agree that Hydrogen is not Nitro and should not improve the performance of the engine. However, Hydrogen is a flammable gas and no air/fuel mixture re-calibration was performed on the carb, therefore the same amount of fuel was being burned by the engine. I would like to see this experiment performed again and see if we can lean out the carb (have it use less fuel) and maintain the same RPM when the new combustible fuel (H2) is introduced to the air/fuel mixture. If you could lessen the amount of liquid fuel when introducing H2 then it may have a place after all.

The devices put out a lot of hydrogen, but as expected the problem was that it just drew too much power to be worth it. eventually they dropped the mileage claims from their marketing and instead advertised them as making the truck more 'environmentally friendly', but given that they actually decreased the fuel economy and increased the engine temperature, no one wanted them and the company went under.

In addition HHO uses chemicals to make the water conduct better and that generates heat whereas Stanley Meyer's method could work with distilled water alone and did not generate heat.

I only draw 13 amps at 12 volts. I'm not trying to run the engine on HHO alone, but supplement it with gasoline. The engine has more power at a lower rpm. The engine runs so clean that the oil looks brand new after 2 years but I change it because I know it breaks down from use. I also use DuraLube in the oil to reduce friction. I put Iridium spark plugs in the engine because you never have to change them. After 5 years I checked them and they still look brand new.

I am building a wet type HHO generator using 12 volts. I plan to install a separate alternator and battery system exclusively intended for the HHO generator only. I am buying a carburetor to supply the brown gas to be connected to the intake manifold independent of the existing carburetor. The original carburetor will just supply gasoline to the engine for idling condition. The additional carburetor to supply brown gas to power the engine will be operated separately. Since the brown gas ignites and explodes instantly compared to gasoline, I will revise the spark timing to occur few degrees after top dead center. The present spark timing is about 8 - 12 degrees before top dead center. May I know your comment on this... Thanks in advance...

    "Getting a little light on the throttle can make a significant difference in mileage..." I've tracked my fuel economy for over a decade and this is the single most important conclusion I've drawn. Even recent fuel price increases don't really compare to something as simple as a change in mood while driving. I have fuel economy graphs that I can actually pick out days that I was late for work (and drove aggressively/faster because of it) just based on a sudden major increase in $/km. Oh, and stay off the brakes unless you intend to stop! Brakes are just gas and brake pad money to brake dust converters. Drive with your head a little further in the future (leave more space ahead) and let the engine slow you down any time you can. In a lot of (most?) cars, that actually uses 0 fuel and doesn't wear out the brakes at all.

      Driving with the regulator works very well for economy.
      I've noticed between full acceleration and gradual acceleration there isn't much difference in overall consumption on highway (because you're accelerading for like 1-5% of the travel, so 10 or 20l/100 over like 2km doesn't change much, you'd rather find cheaper fuel, and also it's a bit misleading since you have increased consumption over a shorter time), but for town it probably would make a bit more of an impact.
      For maximum efficiency you want to run around 1600-1800rpm on a 2l diesel, though specifics depend on the engine.
      So if you want to accelerate try to shift up at 2k rpm.

    I purchased schematics for an HHO generator many years ago and never got around to testing it out -- I'm happy to see you putting in the work to demonstrate the model's capabilities (or lack thereof). It was intended as something to do to spend time with my father and to improve our fleet vehicles if it somehow miraculously showed benefits; however, my father ended up passing away since then and we never got around to it.
    It makes me happy to see you and your son being able to do these projects together -- keep up the great work and don't let that pesky roman candle debacle foul your spirit or curiosity.
    Hope you had a Merry Christmas and here's looking forward to a Happy New Year!

    Great video. I had a HHO generator in my car for about a year. It did NOT improve fuel consumption, in fact it increased slightly. The HHO mix is compensated for by the O2 sensor on the engine. One good point though is that the exhaust outlet gasses were cleaner ( as reported by an MOT centre who tested the car with the system running and the system off ). They said the engine ran rich and at a slightly low temp with the HHO running. In the end the HHO damaged the steel piston rings, resulting in the scrapping of the car, so was a very expensive toy.

      You have to visualize how much HHO would be required in order to actually run an engine. That tiny little 80CC engine require 2.8 liters of HHO per second, or 168 liters per minute to run at it's nominal RPM, and that HHO generator requires 560W to hit just one liter per minute of HHO production. Even if we assume that the HHO generator is inefficient and we could somehow double the output to 2 liters per minute only requiring 500 watts, in order to run that engine, we'd need to scale up the HHO generator 84 times larger to increase HHO production to 168 liters per minute. 84 x 500 watts = 42,000 watts, or 42 Kilowatts. To give you an idea of how much electricity that is, on a 12 volt system, that would require 3500 Amps. In order to get 42,000 watts from solar, you'd need a HUGE solar field. Using the most efficient N-type modern panels, you might get 400W out of a 40"x73" panel in perfect conditions at the equator, so you would need 105 panels, that's an array of panels 5 panels high by 21 panels long, or 17 feet high by 130 feet long, all just to run a tiny 79cc Harbor Freight engine capable of producing 3 horsepower.
      For all the people who still refuse to believe that a closed loop HHO power car isn't possible, even a perfectly efficient genset / alternator could never make more than 2200 watts with a 3 horsepower engine, which is almost 19 times less than the amount of electricity required to generate enough HHO to run it. In order to just break even, meaning produce enough HHO to run an engine that will produce enough electricity to produce enough HHO to keep the system running, we'd need to somehow get an HHO generator capable of producing 1 liter per minute for every 13 watts of electricity consumed. This HHO generator is about 43 times less efficient than it would need to be in order to just break even (achieve Unity).

To be using this to generate HHO might seem ridiculous until you realise that using slow near isothermal compression at 1kwh/kg you could use the system to generate and store on average 1 to 2kg of hydrogen per day from excess generation which may give you about 3 to 6 hours of runtime even on this inefficient engine with a 500W load . so using 20 refurbished CO2 fire extinguishers you could store the H2 at 150bar (2000PSI) to give you a 3kWh battery .. no lithium..no fighting over lithium mines .. repurpose existing technology for local hydrogen storage. If you hooked up the hydrogen to a fuel cell you'll get around 60% thermal efficiency as opposed to burning it in an engine. so all of a sudden 12 hours runtime for a 500W constant load. 6kwh battery pack that is 2.5 times the size of tesla powerwall 2 which has 13.5kw. Ridiculous! Right? and H2 at 150bar (2000Psi) isn't exactly safe to have near the house. but again. if you have the space and safety protocols. Few cylinders and a compressor hooked up to a genset or fuel cell are achievable for a corporation and may be a better cheaper more reliable option than hugely complex tesla powerwalls or megapacks or whatever they call it.
