t_vago, HHO supporter don't claim that when you inject hydrogen (orto or para I don't remember what one is the most reactive) you add energy.
They know very well that the energy to dissociate the H2 and O2 from H2O would be bigger to the energy you would get from recombining them (because of the electrolysis efficiency ...).
They claim that H2 + gas + spark leads to a faster combustion (so all it changes is the speed of the burn) in a lean situation, much better than gas + spark.
This allows to extract more useful work from the combustion (we are talking about us) in a lean situation than what would happen normally.
At the end everything burns but with a different speed.
