there are different LEVELS of what works. the E95 battery worked just fine. Don't see too many of them on the road. Good luck getting chevron to let you license it or buy them.

what intrigued me about the mythbusters episode and what REALLY made me mad that they did not go further with it.

THEY RAN A REGULAR ICE ENGINE ON PURE HYDROGEN GAS.

that instantly says one thing. all this HHO stuff DEFINATELY HAS MERIT !!

the issue was instantly settled for me. The issue is no longer does it work YES it works.

the issue is can an end user practically make it work within there means. IE can you make "ENOUGH" of the gas to make a difference at the gas pump.

Thats the issue now.

also generating HHO VIA the cars own power systems is plain silly. I consider any HHO setup that uses your cars battery or alternator to be instantly suspect and snakeoil. Period. your engine and your alternator are VERY INEFFICIENT the idea that you can use them to gain more power than you put in is just silly and flies in the face of the know laws of the universe.

Now if you want to put a battery pack in the trunk to run the HHO now we are getting somewhere. IF I ever have the time to actually build one of these things that is how I will do it.
