(Refering to the thesis linked.)

I can see the advantages of the HAJI system in the CFR engine, as it would be much more efficient. But the engines that we use are not HAJI, they have a common ignition chamber and do not get the advantage of the HAJI, but do get the marginal advantage of additional combustion material in the chamber. Many of us do have a better combustion cylinder than the CFR engine, it is called Controlled Vortex Combustion Chamber (CVCC) developed by Honda in the 80s.

The benefit of "HHO" enrichment is marginal due to the fact that you are breaking the water with battery power and re-combining the elements in the combustion chamber. There is a net loss in the system because you are charging the battery with the alternator, increasing the load on the engine. Not to mention the addition of an explosive gas mixture to your engine compartment.
