Electrolysis of Water

and yes, you can increase mpg by adding hydrogen to the mixture of fuel and air but you have to trick the O2 sensors into leaning out the mixture so hydrogen makes up the difference.
explain what the first law of thermodynamics has to do with this.

Your alt puts a load on your engine in order to generate electricity.. and any energy you use to generate hydrogen comes from the fuel you burn in your engine..

The idea that you can increase MPG by taking energy from your engine to generate hydrogen which you then burn in your engine is a complete farce...

My high school chem teacher got 1/3 of our high school blocked off after he broke open an old mercury thermometer.

my highschool chem teacher was a rally car navigator from new zealand. Seriously

my highschool chem teacher liked to make methane bubbles with dishwashing soap and they would make a BIG boom

yea i do that with hydrogen from my electrolysis machine

im actually learning how to figure that out right now, but i usually dont pay attention in class ftl so i could only half do it if u had the numbers i needed

if it was a waste of time, i doubt it would be such a craze in japan.

there are a lot of people that have already added hydro-boosters to their cars and having good results.

and for some reason its usualy the smaller engines that do better :/

most prius' get 45 mpg and with hho ive seen a few get 65 mpg

then look at the results for a jeep with a large v8 and it goes from 17 to 22 :/

there is aot of tuning involved most of it is just tricking your cars computer into using less fuel

Also you fail in the end, Electricity is expensive and Your Hydrogen gas doesn't burn at 100% efficiency so What have you really gained mpg wise (if any) you've lost in your electricity bill
