the energy to split the water is taken from the car's charging system which in turn is derived from increasing the amount of fuel the engine burns because , there is no free lunch or free energy .

therefore HHO takes more energy to Make than it releases when added to the engine for
a NET LOSS of energy

and as an added bonus the HHO brings with it , nasty byproducts of electrolysis to the engine - which do NOT enhance overall engine life .

and for only $700 , such a deal .
