Testing is good. Set up a reliably repeatable test that shows meaningful results. You may yet surprise us all--but it's not necessarily the way to bet.

Amen. The test I'm offering design help on is using a hydrogen tank, rather than an onboard generator. Onboard generators, besides being pvc pipe bombs waiting to happen (hydrogen is being generated on electrically charged plates - potential spark -> fire), introduce a whole host of variables. Just think of these few: alternator loads, water purity, voltage, electrolyte chemistry and concentration, water level, temperature.
Instead, if a particular and precisely meter amount of H2 is metered into the intake, then we can quite easily determine the effect on combustion. Is the net gain only equal to the ~53,100 btu/lb of hydrogen? Or is it more?
