regen is 30% efficient. so how your taking lets say 100 watts. your getting 30 watts out of it. from that 30 watts you use electrolysis which is at BEST 24% efficient

so in the end you get 7.2 watts per 100 watts or a conversion efficiency of 7.2% assuming you ONLY use the regen to stop the car and do not have to touch the brakes.

Then you feed that hydrogen into the engine to recover 10% of it as usable energy.

so now we are down to .72% efficiency.

and you wonder why they don't work. its not that HHO does not work. IT DOES.

you just can't make enough of it to make a difference in real time.
