HHO conversion

HHO is the product of water electrolysis- separating the hydrogen and oxygen in water. Several years ago, I was laying in bed, unable to sleep, and I thought about a hydrogen-powered, internal combustion engine that used water. By separating the hydrogen and oxygen in water, you have very flammable gasses. When reacted, it goes back into plain ol' water, as evidenced in the emissions of hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Someone has kind of got the idea here: HHO car adaptation

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.

when someone figures out how to get more energy out of it then you put in to it then you will have something that works, until then it's just a way to get money out of people who don't know any better, if you don't believe me send me some money and I'll tell you how to set up a complete working system of your very own!

Nope, still don't see a purpose.

I see that you're giving props to a person who can't remember that solder has an "L" in it, though.

Anyway, after you've wasted your time on this, please report back your results. I'm sure someone will be interested to know.

I think he could secure a generous government grant to develop the idea. Maybe even military.

Unfortunately, you're probably right, Frank. I'm sure there is a scholarship, grant, batch of funding, or old guy that "wants to make a difference" whose pocket is easily picked for something so brash.

Too bad none of those things will subsidize events and research that really makes a difference, eh?
