I tried two of them. The first consumed 30 A of current (like an air conditioner) and generated little gas. The second which I made myself following plans of a guy in the net, produced a lot of gas and consumed 20 A. Production was so much that I had to use a pump to blow out the gas from the generator, otherwise, the gas blowed part of the liquid electrolite out of the generator, lowering production.

The action of the pump has a drawback though: a lot of foam is produced, so electrolite become foam in part, diminishing production also. Not solved yet.

Cannot say for sure if yield improve or not. I am developing a real time fuel yield meter (not easy on a diesel), so to compare yield switching the HHO generator on and off. Not finished yet. This will tell me if improvements are worth the try or not.

Engine used is a naturally aspirated diesel, 6 cylinders in line, 2.8 liters.

Feel free to question more.
